More than Giving

Return. Resource. Generous.

We put God first by returning 10% back to resource what God is doing locally through our church while breaking greed and self-reliance of our life.

Why We Give

Giving is an act of worship that reflects God's generosity toward us and allows us to participate in His work.

Biblical Foundation

"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

2 Corinthians 9:7

"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house."

Malachi 3:10

Spiritual Growth

  • Deepens our trust in God's provision
  • Breaks the hold of materialism
  • Develops a generous heart like Christ
  • Connects your work to eternal purpose
  • Breaks self-reliance and builds God-dependence

Biblical Tithing: God's Design for Generosity

From the Old Testament foundation to Jesus' radical call to complete surrender, see how God's plan for giving transforms hearts and lives.

Old Testament

"A tenth of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord."

Leviticus 27:30

"Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it."

Malachi 3:10

The tithe established God's people as dependent on Him, recognizing that everything belongs to the Lord.

New Testament

"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously."

2 Corinthians 9:6

"On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made."

1 Corinthians 16:2

The New Testament doesn't abolish the tithe but elevates it to cheerful, generous giving from a transformed heart.

Jesus' 100% Call

"Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Luke 18:22

"So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple."

Luke 14:33

Jesus raised the bar from 10% to 100% surrender - not just our money, but our entire lives belong to God.
