Tithing as
Worship

View Message Series

Tithing is more than a financial act—it’s an invitation into a covenant relationship with God. When we tithe, we’re not just giving; we’re demonstrating trust, obedience, and a willingness to put God first in every area of our lives. It’s a key part of our spiritual walk and a way to align our hearts with His purposes. Tithing opens the door to God’s blessings and provision, and helps us live from a posture of faith rather than fear. To learn more about the biblical foundation and spiritual impact of tithing, view The Blessed Life message series.
