STEPPING UP TO GENEROSITY
First Step: Start following Jesus. (Jesus wants your whole life.)
Second Step: Start giving regularly. (Bethel.org/give. Set up reoccurring giving)
Third Step: Start tithing (First Part/10% of what I earn). Book: The Blessed Life. Dr. Robert Morris.
1. Tithing involves trusting; it’s not a threat but a promise!
2. Tithing keeps greed in check.
3. Tithing is a God-honoring goal, and God-honoring goals aren’t easy.
4. You cannot outgive God. Dr. Mark Batterson, Double Blessing
Fourth Step: Start giving offerings regularly (Above Tithe. BKIs, General Missions etc.)
Fifth Step: Start increasing your tithe and offerings. Double tithe!
