The tithe is ten percent (10%) of our income and belongs to God. The offering is over and beyond your tithes. The offering does not replace the tithe. Graciously give your offering considering Luke 6:38 (NLT), “Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full – pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.”
Your giving helps to expand the vision of the ministry. Stewardship is not fund-raising or “doing your duty”, it is connected to discipleship. Giving is a deep personal indicator of our spiritual maturity and our love for God. Matthew 6:21 declares, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
