  1. Christians Ought to Pay Tithes (Matt 23: 23) Presented March 12, 2006 By Michael Grange

  2. Can we ROB God? Mal 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offering

  3. What is tithes? • 10% of our increase • Tenths of produce, property, or spoils, dedicated to sacred use.

  4. General Concepts on Tithing In the Old Testament the purpose of the giving of a tenth was to meet the material need of the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless (the orphan), and the widow (Deut 26:12-13). The tithe was an expression of gratitude to God by His people. Basic to tithing was the acknowledgment of God's ownership of everything in the earth

  5. On what and how do you calculate tithes? Have you ever heard the phrase “You can’t give God what you don’t have?” (Ex 12:35-36)

  6. Is there a blessing in Tithes? • Many blessings!! • Can you count them? • Can you name them?

  7. Don’t forget the overflow? Mal 3:10 “THE OFFERING!” It’s in the free will offering…not calculated nor predetermined that you truly tell God what He is worth to you!

  8. Conclusion • As believers we are to be generous in sharing our material possessions with the poor and for the support of Christian ministry. • Christ Himself is our model in giving. Giving is to be voluntary, willing, cheerful, and given in the light of our accountability to God. • Giving should be systematic and by no means limited to a tithe of our incomes. We recognize that all we have is from God. • We are called to be faithful stewards of all our possessions

  9. Hence our Benediction 2 Cor 9:6-7 6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
