Giving is one of the central themes in the Bible. Jesus talked more about
this subject than Heaven, Hell or prayer. To understand what it means to
be a Christ-follower, we must also understand what it means to be a giver.

First Things First
The first belongs to God. We find this principle all through God’s Word.
Tithing, giving God the first ten percent of our income to the local church, is
the primary way we acknowledge that God is first. (Proverbs 3:9,10).
Know Giving, Know Life
Giving is the antidote for materialism. Whereas the tithe is giving ten
percent of your income to the local church, an offering is given out of the
ninety percent of your income. Therefore the offering is giving over and
above the tithe. The Bible says that by giving generously we are able
to "take hold of the life that is truly life." You aren’t really living unless you
are freely giving. (I Timothy 6:18,19)
The Treasure Test
Giving is the only area in the Bible where God invites us to test Him.
Give your tithe (the first 10% of your income) to God and see if He does
not open the floodgates of heaven to bless you in ways that you never
dreamed possible. (Malachi 3:10)
An Eternal Investment
Even when the stock market is down, you can make an investment that
pays dividends for a lifetime and beyond. By investing in the life-changing
message of Jesus, you can leverage your money for eternal purposes. (I
Timothy 6:7)
Purpose
In today's fast paced world we continue to look toward technology to help
simplify our lives. This is the driving force behind Our Savior's Church
providing another avenue for church members to invest in the kingdom of
God.
