TITHES & offering
We give our tithes and offerings as an act of our worship to God. We give as a response to the grace we have received in Christ Jesus! We have received much grace, and so we give much because we are so thankful!
Everything we have comes from God and belongs to Him. And as faithful stewards, we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. Practically, this means we live as partners in the gospel advancement (not just financially but comprehensively).
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart,
not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7 (ESV)
