Leader: It’s time to give! People: Praise the Lord!

Leader: Has God been good to you? People: The Lord is blessing us right now.

Leader: It’s time to give our tithe!

People: The tithe belongs to the Lord because the Bible says, “And all the tithe of the

land, whether of the seed of the land or fruit of the tree, it is the Lord’s. It is holy to the

Lord.” (Leviticus 27:30)

Leader: Who should tithe?

People: “...Let every one of you lay by Him in store, as God has prospered

him…..” (I Corinthians 16:2)

Leader: Why should we tithe?

People: We give because we love the Lord and recognize that the Lord is the source

of our past, present, and future blessings. (Psalm 116:1, 14)

Leader: Should we tithe on our gross or net income?

People: “You shall truly tithe all the increase of your seed, that the field brings forth

from year to year.” (Deuteronomy 14:22)

Leader: How much should we tithe?

People: “Abraham gave a tenth of all he had.” (Hebrews 7:4)

Leader: What is God’s promise to those who tithe?

People: “I will open up the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing that you will not

have room to receive it.” (Malachi 3:10)

Leader: How should I give today?

People: God loves a cheerful giver. (II Corinthians 9:7)

Leader: What should I expect?

People: “Give and it shall be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken to-

gether, running over, shall it be poured into your life. For with the same measure you

give, it shall be returned to you again.” (Luke 6:38)
