Tithe vs. Offering

Tithe vs. Offering

October 1, 2023 • Ps. John Long

The difference between a TITHE and an OFFERING   Romans 11:16 (NAS 1995) “If the first piece of the dough is holy; the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are also.   Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.   Luke 6:38 (NAS 1995) Give, and it will be given to you. They will [a]pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”   Luke 6:38 (TPT) “Give generously and generous gifts will be given back to you, shaken down to make room for more. Abundant gifts will pour out upon you with such an overflowing measure that it will run over the top! The measurement of your generosity becomes the measurement of your return.”   "THE GIVING PRINCIPLE"   2 Corinthians 9:6-11 (NAS 1995) 6 Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows [a]bountifully will also reap [b]bountifully. 7 Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed; 9 as it is written, “HE SCATTERED ABROAD, HE GAVE TO THE POOR, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS [c]ENDURES FOREVER.” (LEGACY) 10 Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; 11 you will be enriched in everything for all liberality (generosity), which through us is producing thanksgiving to God.   GENEROUSITY IS OUR HONOR!!!   Philippians 4:19 And my God will supply all your need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.   GENEROUSITY IS OUR HONOR!! GENEROUSITY IS A BLESSING!!! GENEROUSITY IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF FATHER GOD!!   2 Corinthians 9:8-11 (NAS 1995) 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed; 10 Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; 11 you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God.
