Giving

• Often, the greatest competitor to the worship of God is the love of money and materialism (Matt. 6:24; 1 Tim. 6:10). God doesn’t necessarily want our money, but He does absolutely want our hearts. Therefore, we believe the tithe and the offering is important in our devotion toward God (Gen. 22:5; Mal. 3:8-12). Abraham gave a tenth to Melchizedek the priest (Gen. 14:18-20), and Jesus is from the same priestly order (Heb. 6:20), therefore, we too should give a tenth to Jesus.
