2.5.23 Let us be giving - Malachi 3:6-11

My giving is important because…
1.  It is an act that honors the Lord
Leviticus 27:30-32, “Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the LORD’s; it is holy to the LORD.  And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman’s staff, shall be holy to the LORD.”
2.  It provides the needs of the church
3.  It gives me ground to stand on when I pray

He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither.”
