Are you experiencing a life of abundance and

overflowing blessing from God?

The Shift from Mine to God’s…

A New Perspective

James 1:17

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”

Malachi 3:8

“Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, “In what way have we robbed You?” In tithes and offerings.

Malachi 3:10

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.”

What will help you gain a heavenly perspective on giving?

Does the N.T. model of heart-giving or even the O.T. model of tithe (as a starting point) encourage you or motivate you?

Long Term Investments

“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three, but the greatest of these is love.”

1 Corinthians 13:13

What are the things we save and collect that will eventually

go up in smoke?What will last forever and how can we begin investing in this

eternal savings account?
