Tithes & Offerings
Giving is the primary, practical way we acknowledge that God is first in our lives and that everything belongs to him. We encourage those who call Seacoast home to use Malachi 3:10 as their guide for giving: “Bring the full tithe (10%) into the storehouse.” It can be scary to give away the first part of your income, but God says to test him in this—the only time in the Bible he says to test him. “…and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”
“Bring the full tithe (10%) into the storehouse, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”
Rather than a guarantee of financial success, it’s God’s call to obey and trust him in every area of our lives—even with our financial security. His blessings of obedience can take many forms as he offers us ways to simultaneously further his work in this world and become stronger in our faith.
