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 […]

This week we dealt with offenses towards God! This is often a difficult topic, and many Christians tend to avoid facing it head on.

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.
