THE POWER OF TITHES AND OFFERING. Proverbs 3:9-10 New International Version (NIV) 9 HONOR the Lord with your WEALTH, with the FIRSTFRUITS of all your crops; 10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. • HONOR GOD WITH OUR TITHES. Leviticus 27:30 New International Version (NIV) Commentary Make sacrifices that please God. In this passage, we see four sacrifices that you can make in response to Jesus' sacrifice for you:. 1. Sacrifice of your lips. The writer of Hebrews says, 'Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise - the fruit of lips that confess his name… for with such sacrifices God is pleased' (Hebrews 13:15-16). 1. The Agent of Redemption: The agent is, of course, the Lord Jesus Christ who, in His sinless person and by His death on the cross, purchased our redemption ( Eph. 1:7; Col. 1:14; Rom. 3:24 ). As part of the work of reconciliation, God the Father removed the sin problem through the person and work of His Son. 2. Proverbs 18:16 is a verse on giving that illustrates the power of a gift to open doors and create opportunities. This scripture on giving teaches that a well-chosen and thoughtful gift can lead to connections with influential people. Whether you're preaching a sermon on giving or just sharing a few words during the offering, remember that Eph. 5:20 "always giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Giving thanks for everything includes both the positives things and the negative things of life. May I suggest some of the "every things" for which to thank God? For a sink full of dirty dishes. In this practical 4-MESSAGE series, Pastor Jeff Schreve shares giving principles from the Bible to help you break the chains of greed and selfishness in order to experience the joy and power of giving. 3Pv69Tk.
