Scripture
In the Old Testament, we see a pattern of giving to the Lord a Tithe.
In Genesis 4, Cain and Abel gave God the first fruits of their labor
In Genesis 14 Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek
In the law, God required His people to give the first 10% of their income as a tithe to Him.
He also required of them free will offerings as a display of love, obedience, and gratitude (Lev 27:30)
Why do we Tithe today?
We give God the first 10% of our income as a sacrifice of worship before Him.
The Tithe is not a condition of Salvation.
It is a condition of blessing because it is a sacrifice.
Tithing is not to an organization or a person, but to God.
Offering and what is the difference
Offerings should be of our increase not our income.
We give God offerings in many different ways which we will discuss more in a bit.
Offerings can be given to the needy, to other organizations, can be food, can be things.
Do it all for God’s glory (1 Cor 10:31)
Transition: I want to look at the heart of giving overall.
Whether it is in tithes or offerings, let’s look at a situation with Paul where he is addressing a financial gift promised by the church he writing to.
He did not want them to be caught off guard or feel obligated to give.
So he says this:
vs. 6 (Taking what they know)
vs. 7 (Teaching them something new)
vs. 8 (God is the supplier of everything - for the purpose of every good work)
vs. 9 (Points to God has the giver)
vs. 10 (God gives us what we need so we can give generously represented as “fruits of righteousness”
This can only come from an overflow of the heart
vs. 11 (When you give generously, it causes thanksgiving from the recipient to God)
vs. 12 (It is not just a physical gift that is meeting needs, it is also overflowing into an expression of thanksgiving)
vs. 13 (Your gift points people to God)
vs. 14 (The recipients are praying for you as they receive your gift)

Why did God give you all you have?
Is it for yourself?
How can you find ways to bless others?
It is my prayer that this church would find ways to bless this community and across the world through the faithful giving of everyone.
**I am not saying you should not give what you do not have**
As God blesses you, bless others.
If you need a blessing, let us know and there is probably someone who has what you need.
Consider ways to bless those around you.
This should be a sacrifice of praise to God and not so people will praise you.
