They shall constantly strive to walk worthy of their high calling and seek control of every unholy disposition. The honor, stability, and effectiveness of the church are dependent upon the prayers, labors, and financial support of its members. All members, therefore, are expected to faithfully bear a just portion of the necessary expenses of the church and contribute regularly of their means in proportion as God has prospered them. Envelopes will be provided, and online giving options will be available for this purpose. The Promise: The Budget: RC Sproul said it this way, God instituted, “In order to support the Levites, who had no tribal allocation of land. The Levites were set apart to take care of the spiritual and educational responsibilities of the nation, and their work and physical necessities were paid for by the tithe (Num. 18). Under the new covenant, the tithe continues to support the work of building up people in the truth of God and reaching sinners with the gospel. Christ works through churches, seminaries, parachurch organizations, missionaries, and many others to build and grow His kingdom…'The most important investment we can ever make is in the kingdom of God, because it has eternal returns. These returns are not just for us but also for our family, our children, our grandchildren. This generation of Christians must invest in the things of God for the sake of the next generation.” (RC. Sproul, 2024; https://learn.ligonier.org/articles/stewardship-tithing-and-giving)
