ALL Your Heart
God’s purpose for me is not about what I can GET, but it’s about what
I can GIVE.
Mark 12:30 “ Love the Lord your God with ALL your heart and with ALL
your soul and with ALL your mind and with ALL your strength.”
● If I am going to LOVE GOD with ALL MY HEART then it is going to
require some GIVING!
● LOVING and GIVING go hand in hand.
John 3:16 “God so LOVED the world that He GAVE…”
● The PROOF of loving is GIVING.
Romans 5:8 HCSB “But God PROVES His own love for us in that while
we were still sinners, Christ died for us!”
2 Corinthians 8:8 “Since you excel in so many ways—in your faith, your
gifted speakers, your knowledge, your enthusiasm, and your love from
us—I want you to excel also in this gracious act of giving. 8 I am not
commanding you to do this. But I am TESTING HOW GENUINE YOUR
LOVE IS by comparing it with the eagerness of the other churches.”
The bible teaches us to bring 10% of our income to God.
That word tithe = one tenth.
1. Tithing is about PRIORITY!
● God doesn’t want your money. What he wants is to be FIRST in your
life.
● Nothing competes for your heart more than money.
Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve TWO MASTERS. For you will hate one
and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You
cannot serve both God and money.”
Deuteronomy 14:23b TLB “THE PURPOSE OF TITHING is to teach you
always to PUT GOD FIRST in your lives.”
Proverbs 3:9-10 “Honor the Lord by giving him the FIRST PART OF ALL
YOUR INCOME, and he will fill your barns with wheat and barley and
overflow your wine vats with the finest wines”
2. Tithing is about PROGRESS.
● God wants to be FIRST in your life. He also wants you to GROW in
your faith.
● Nothing will cause you to GROW and take positive steps forward in
your faith like trusting God with your finances.
● Tithing is a lesson in TRUSTING GOD.
3. Tithing is about POSITION.
● God doesn’t want something FROM you, He wants something FOR
you.
● Tithing puts us underneath the flow of the blessings.
Psalm 25:12-13 “Where is the man who fears the Lord? God will teach
him how to choose the best.13 He shall live within God’s CIRCLE OF
BLESSING, and his children shall inherit the earth.”
Malachi 3:8-10 “Bring the tithe… OPEN UP THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN
and POUR OUT BLESSINGS…”
Luke 6:38 “give and it will be given to you good measure pressed down
shaken together and running over”
4. Tithing is about PARTICIPATION.
● Tithing is about PARTICIPATING IN GOD’S PLAN to meet the needs
of the local church and beyond.
Malachi 3:10 “Bring the whole tithe into the STOREHOUSE…SO THAT
there may be food in my house…”
● We are not blessed just so that we can be blessed, we are actually
blessed so that we can BE A BLESSING.
Genesis 12:2-3 “I will bless you; I will make your name great, and YOU
WILL BE A BLESSING. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever
curses you I will curse; and ALL PEOPLES ON EARTH WILL BE
BLESSED THROUGH YOU.”
Malachi 3:10 “TEST ME IN THIS says the Lord and see if I will not throw
open the flood gates of heaven…”
