"And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's. It is holy to the Lord". Leviticus 27:30
Tithe and Offering
The Bible tells us that tithing is an essential part of our lives. It is a way of showing that we trust God with our lives and finances. It is a reminder that we do not own anything in this life. God is in control of everything and we are his workers of what he has given us.
A tithe is 10% of our income given specifically to our local church.
An offering is anything extra that we give beyond a tithe.
"Honor the Lord with your possessions,
And with the first fruits of all your increases".
Proverb 3:9
