Offering for March 22, 2025
Michigan Advance Partners
How many of you here today are thankful for God’s blessings?
Although we don't deserve these blessings, they are generously given to us by our Father in heaven. I've discovered the Bible's teachings of God as the Owner and we as managers. God has set a divine plan reminding us of this owner-manager relationship weekly. Every seventh day of the week, the Saturday Sabbath, is God's day. This holy day is designed for us to worship Him and dedicate our time to Him, while we are entrusted with the management of the remaining six days.
Similarly, every tenth of our income or possessions, known as a tithe, is God's. However, He entrusts us with the management of the remaining 90%. We manage it according to His will and what will give Him glory. God's plan states that the tithe belongs to Him.
We worship Him by returning His share and giving our freewill offerings because of our love for Him.
However, sometimes we forget that giving is part of our worship, not simply a financial donation. The problem starts when we forget we are managers and assume the position of owner. It's easy to forget that everything ultimately belongs to the Lord, including our time…and even every breath we take is a gift from God, isn't it?
Let's worship him by returning our tithes and offerings.
