Listen "Shaped by Generosity: Direction to Give"
Episode Synopsis
Just tell me what to do!Fine.Talking about money at church is tricky, but we need to do it. Over the last two weeks we have been talking about generosity as a way of life rooted in God’s generosity towards us. I have invited us to start some new habits that put us into contact daily with God’s abundant generosity towards us. That of course is the soil out of which true personal generosity grows. So what about tithing? How is tithing connected to becoming generous people and does the bible really direct us to give a specific amount of money to the church? This is what we will talk about Sunday.I know that this can be an uncomfortable topic for many of us. To help I also plan to make offensive political jokes as well! It should be fun for all. Seriously though, tithing is not about guilt and financial planning. It is about learning to taste and see God’s love and care for us, being shaped into generous people, and participating with God in his work of renewal in the world.Tithing is an invitation to a rejoicingly raucous party. It really is. Read Deuteronomy 14:22-29.I can’t wait to worship together.Pastor David
