09/24/23 | When you overfill your coffee cup the result is a sticky mess, or a nasty burn, yet we often live our lives this way! In this 4-week series, we look to the Scripture for God’s design on how to live life with room. That could be having money left over at the end of the month, a night of the week when there’s nothing going on, or it could even be the distance between you and temptation.
In Week 4, Pastor Jeff surveys the scriptures on how we can live with room in our finances. Specifically, we trace the biblical principle of tithing throughout the Bible and what that means for us today. Knowing that God is the source of all our resources, we are stewards of God’s property, our most important investments are heavenly, and that we trust God to provide for all our needs, as Christians we have an attitude of gratitude, faithfulness, vision, and faith. Surveying scripture for the tithe, we see:
Abraham Commenced it (Genesis 14:20)
Jacob Continued it (Genesis 28:22)
Moses Commanded it (Leviticus 27:30)
Malachi Confirmed it (Malachi 3:10)
Jesus Commended it (Matthew 23:23)
God’s blessings don’t consume more room, they create more room!
