Give
What's the difference between "tithes" and "offerings"?
TITHE
God calls each of us to give 10% of our "first fruits" to the "storehouse"...to the church we've been called to serve. Our tithes help to create the quality environment, ministries, and discipleship tools we all enjoy.
OFFERING
Occasionally, God calls us to make sacrificial offerings above our tithe. These offerings are usually designated to a specific area such as the building fund, team ministry or outreach, or perhaps to help meet the needs of a specific person and or family. In addition to those needs being met, your obedient generosity many times also increases the faith of the recipient!
generosity
Giving is an an act of worship and obedience from a heart surrendered to Christ ... a choice we make to follow God's instruction for us. Pastor Seats reminds us often that you are not required to give in order to attend. We want something for you not from you. God certainly doesn't need anything from us, it's all His anyway. And although God always honors and blesses obedience, we don't give to get. We give out of our need to act on our faith. God uses those resources for His glory and to further His church.
