Tithing: An Invitation to Trust, Worship, and Gospel Impact
By Shawn Newberry
Giving is rooted in the "firstfruits" principle, acting as a declaration of trust in God's provision (Proverbs 3:9–10). Learn how your treasure reveals the location of your heart (Matthew 6:21) and how generosity extends your influence, partnering in God's mission around the world. The article also covers the unique invitation to "test" God in this one area (Malachi 3:10) to see His faithfulness, and reminds us that tithing includes the sacrificial gift of time and service. Ultimately, tithing is about God forming mature disciples whose kingdom impact is limitless.
