Pastor Mark ministered a message confronts one of the most sensitive yet crucial topics in our spiritual lives: the relationship between our faith and our finances. Through the lens of tithing, we're invited to examine where our trust truly lies. The sermon walks us through three compelling biblical examples that demonstrate God's multiplication principle: the widow with her jar of oil, the boy with five loaves and two fish, and the conquest of Jericho. Each story reveals a profound truth—God doesn't multiply what we hold back; He multiplies what we place in His hands. The message traces tithing from its origins with Abraham, showing us that this practice wasn't born from legalism but from relationship and revelation. Abraham gave the first tenth not because a law demanded it, but because his heart recognized God as the source of every blessing. When we encounter Malachi 3:10, we're challenged to see it not as a guilt-inducing demand, but as an invitation—God literally saying, 'Test me in this.' The distinction between curse and consequence becomes crystal clear: when we step outside God's design, we're not cursed by Him, but we do experience the natural consequences of living outside His protective order. This isn't about God needing our money; it's about us needing to trust Him more than our paychecks, our security, and our control. The 12-week commitment presented isn't a fundraising campaign—it's an opportunity to realign our hearts with heaven's order and watch God prove His faithfulness in tangible ways.
