"Giving Under Grace, NOT Under Fire!” by Pastor Aamon R. Miller

01/28/2013 20:10

And, here we are. We’ve examined the Malachi text and all associated Old Testament texts regarding the tithe. So, where does that leave us? As I mentioned last week, I see and teach the 10% as an EXCELLENT goal, earmark, & threshold for us ALL to aspire to or even do more than! The principle and example of giving 10% IS valid ID that is what the Lord has placed on your heart. Every believer SHOULD give financial support for their local church. That being said, the New Testament provides tools, texts, & testimonies of giving under Grace, not under fire.

 

Here is my 3 sermon series on Giving, consisting of:
