3. Take hold of a power greater than your own

Everyone ends up SOMEWHERE, but few end up there on PURPOSE.
Today we focus on getting “Unstuck” in our FINANCES.

KEY: THE FIRST BLESSES THE REST
KEY THOUGHT – What we do FIRST releases the BLESSING of God on the REST.
God’s PRINCIPLES are not negated by our EMOTIONS or DISAPPOINTMENTS
If you’ve been blessed with SAVING GRACE, you need to grow in GIVING GRACE.

FIRSTFRUITS (tithe) are a thankful acknowledgement of God for His PROVISION.
THE FIRST BELONGS TO GOD
WE ARE ONLY RETURNING TO THE LORD WHAT IS ALREADY HIS.
The FIRST blesses the REST!

OBJECTION: We are under GRACE and isn’t the TITHE part of the OT LAW?
1. We are under GRACE because of JESUS CHRIST.
2. The principle of the TITHE predates the giving of the LAW - Abraham in Genesis 14 & 28.
3. Jesus acknowledged the TITHE in Matthew 11.
4. Grace never LOWERS God’s STANDARD; it actually ELEVATES them.

PERSPECTIVES: We come to the TITHING PRINCIPLE with so many different thoughts or from different backgrounds.
TITHING TAKES US WHEREVER WE ARE AND BRINGS US TO GOD.

TITHING PLACES GOD FIRST AND HONORS HIM.
1. When I get my finances in order, I will honor God.
SELF HELP vs. GOD’S HELP
2. But it’s all mine!
GREED vs. HUMBLE GENEROSITY
3. I make so little, I just can’t..
FEAR vs. FAITH
4. That can’t work so I won’t do it.
DOUBT vs. TRUST
5. That’s a lot of money!
PRIDE vs. HUMILITY
