Giving, and the amount Christians should give, is a controversial topic. If you’ve been in the church for long, you’ve probably heard different opinions. And you may have your own thoughts based on your experiences up to this point. May I ask you a couple of questions?
First, maybe you have been told that Christians should give a tithe, but does the New Testament teach tithing? The word tithe is a noun meaning “tenth,” which is why many Christians think we should give ten percent. If you’ve been taught this, take a moment to consider whether New Testament verses cause you to think this way. I believe it’s clear that Christians are commanded to give, but they’re not commanded to give a tithe, which brings me to my second question.
Second, if you’ve believed that you must give a tithe, will you consider a different view if it is supported by Scripture?

He is risen!
In Luke 24:1-6, the empty tomb and the resurrection of Jesus declare Christ’s victory over sin and death. Don’t seek life among the dead. Life is found only in the risen Lord Jesus.

What does it mean to have wisdom according to Scripture?
In this sermon and companion blog post, I look at what Proverbs teaches about wisdom and foolishness. Biblical wisdom is more than knowledge or life experience. It begins with fearing the Lord and is revealed in the way we live.
This message is for anyone who wants to make decisions with discernment, resist foolishness, and grow in godliness.
