The points we covered in this lesson are: Tithing predated the law in Abraham under the covenant of promise by faith. Tithing is an issue of stewardship of God’s resources. Tithing is a form of worship and honor to God for those He has given to the Body as Gifts. This session went a off topic several times, but the overall goals were basically […]

Podcast: Download (33.8MB)Subscribe: Google Podcasts | Spotify | RSS Grace, The Law & Tithing I The Law and the Believer I.mp3 A question came up in one of our small groups this month concerning tithing. I had recently been addressing this very same topic with the elders of our “sister church”, A Grace Place and with Dave in particular over the course of the last year. So it seemed almost fortuitous that this question should come up now while all the facts are so clearly in my mind to deal with them. One thing I have found, and in all […]
