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?

When others scattered, Joseph of Arimathea and the women stayed near Jesus.
Luke 23:50-56 shows us what true discipleship looks like when faithfulness is costly, quiet, and courageous.

When Jesus died, the temple veil was torn in two. Why does that matter?
Because the torn veil showed that Christ opened the way for sinners to come to God. What had once been closed under the Old Covenant was opened through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.
In this sermon, I explain what the veil represented, why access to God was restricted in the Old Testament, and what Luke 23:45 teaches us about the gospel.
