THE 90 DAY TITHE CHALLENGE
TAKE THE 90 DAY TITHE CHALLENGE
GOD INVITES US TO TEST HIM.
There is only ONE place in the Bible where God invites people to test him, and it is in the area of our finances.
This one place is in Malachi 3.10, where God says:
“Bring all the tithes into my house… if you do, I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!”
WHY TITHE?
Tithing is not just about money.
It’s a reflection of where our heart is in relation to God. We give in response to Jesus. We give because God owns it all, and we are putting him first in our lives above all other things.
We want you to be able to experience the joy of trusting Jesus in all areas of our life, which includes our finances.
This step you’re taking is a step of faith and we are excited to see God move in amazing ways.
We also want to come alongside you with encouragement and inspiring stories throughout your journey.
WHAT IS TITHING?
Tithing is giving the first 10% of our income back to God through his house (the local church).
Your tithe should be given to the church where you attend.
WHY TAKE THE CHALLENGE?
This challenge is a commitment to bring back to God your tithe, your first 10% for 90 days. Throughout the 90 days, we will send encouragement and resources so that you can continue to grow in your faith.
At the end of 90 days, you will have experienced God caring for you and nurturing you in your journey of faith. We believe that you will continue to honor God with the tithe because you have seen Him work wonders in your life.
God is faithful to his word and his promises and you are going to experience him in a new and fresh way. We can’t wait to see how God moves in your life as you take this step.
