We recognize what we have comes from our Creator. Giving isn’t an obligation but an act of obedience to trust God with what He has already provided for us. Tithing literally means “tenth” which is 10% of our income given back to Kingdom work. It’s trusting God can do more with 90% than we can with 100%. It’s a way to honor God as leader of our finances by giving him our first 10%.

2 Corinthians 9:6-9 “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.”
