RHYTHM OF GIVING

2 Corinthians 9:6-15

First, Give God His tithe.

Tithing reminds me all I have comes from God.

Tithing places God first in my life.

Tithing teaches my heart to trust.

Fully commit your money for His glory.

We either use our money for our desires or God’s glory. (Luke 16:13)

Freely give as He directs.

You are blessed to be rich to be a blessing.

Give everything for His glory.

When we give it is a reflection of the gospel

And an advancement of His Kingdom
