Money. Tithes. Offerings. Even just reading the words in a church context can make people uncomfortable, but should they? Where does tithing come from and is it something we still should be doing today, or is the church just trying to make a profit?
On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the history of tithing in the Bible (which predates the Mosaic Law, believe it or not.) From there, we look at the principles of giving and how Christians should think about their tithes and offerings today. In a discussion that makes many uncomfortable and sometimes gives preachers the heebie-jeebies to preach about, we hope that you find clarity on the biblical view of tithing and can have a godly perspective on the issue!
