Too Much: Lessons Learned

Hebrews 11/ Genesis 22

Abraham learned the lesson of trust.

Abraham learned the lesson  of faith through a test.

• The test taught Abraham that while you love the gift, you love the Giver of the gift even more!

Abraham learned to honor God’s faithfulness through giving a tithe.

• Everyone should appear before the Lord ready to give. (Deuteronomy 16:16-17)

Why should we continue the tithe today?

• Tithing proves our relationship (Trust)
• Tithing proves our faith (Test)
• Tithing expands the Kingdom (Tithe)

MAIN POINT:  We no longer tithe because of a law, obligation, or guilt.  We tithe now because of our relationship with our High Priest and King…Jesus.
