3. The GAVE Together.
The early church responded to God's Grace with RADICAL generosity.
Your first step to radical generosity is to TITHE.
When you don't tithe
- Your are disobedient (v. 8)
- The storehouse is not full (v. 10)
- Our hearts aren't TOGETHER (v. 9)
- Your are disobedient (v. 8)
- The storehouse is not full (v. 10)
- Our hearts aren't TOGETHER (v. 9)
Tithing isn't primarily about money. It's about OBEDIENCE and our hearts being TOGETHER.
Giving challenge: Tithe.
