GOING DEEPER IN STEWARDSHIP - DAY THREE

The Tithe

What is the tithe?

Tithing is the first 10 percent. It’s a statement that you are putting God first in your finances.

Tithing is a test of our hearts.

Unfortunately, tithing gets a lot of opposition in the church, and even many pastors struggle with the relevance of the tithe. When seen as an obligation, rather than an opportunity to express our faith in a tangible way, it detracts from the true intention of the tithe.

Questions for Reflection:

What emotions come to mind when thinking about the tithe?

If you aren’t tithing, what obstacles or issues are preventing you from making this choice?

If you are tithing, is this a spiritual decision or a transactional one?

How can you take steps towards tithing with a more relational approach?
