Your tithes and offerings are a testimony to your love for God and commitment to His work. Your giving says you recognize your vital responsibility as a steward over the resources He has gifted to you. Your partnership with Christ will yield ever increasing love for things eternal and provide you comfort and peace through God’s abundant love and grace. But just as you excel in everything, -see that you also excel in this grace of giving. (2 Cor. 8:7)
Proper stewardship involves giving in proportion to what a person has received. Tithing is the practice of proportionate giving of 10% of your income to God. A tithe of everything… is Holy to the Lord. (Leviticus 27:30)
Offerings are financial donations above and beyond tithes given into the Kingdom of God. Out of all your gifts you shall present every offering due to the Lord, from all the best of them, the sacred part from them. (Num. 18:29)
