tithes and offerings explained
By faithfully giving, believers participate in God’s work and experience His blessings in their lives.
tithes
Tithes and offerings are financial contributions given to God as an act of worship, obedience, and gratitude.
Tithe means "tenth" and refers to giving 10% of one’s income to support the church and its ministries. It is a biblical principle seen in Malachi 3:10, where God promises blessings for those who faithfully bring their tithes.
