Many people feel that they don’t have enough money in their lives to be able to tithe or donate to God. I’d like to help you practically trust God in this area by looking at three examples (from the Bible) of people like you and me. These people excelled in generosity, even when it was difficult! We will learn that generosity expresses faith in God’s power to resupply our needs. In fact, we can test God in order to trust God. Our generosity exposes the condition of our hearts. God is worthy of our best. We will discover that in God’s eyes, a generosity heart is more significant than the amount given. To God it’s all relevant. He sees the heart, not the amount!
