Big Idea: Giving reveals the heart of the giver.

Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 9:24–27; Mark 12:41–44; Deuteronomy 14:22; 2 Corinthians 9:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2a; Matthew 6:4

Habit: Tithing / Giving

Giving is more than money — it’s about the heart we offer to God.

Deuteronomy 14:22: A tithe is 10% (one-tenth) of what we earn.

Mark 12:41–44: Jesus sees the heart, not the amount.

What Giving Looks Like

1. Decide in your heart

God wants our gifts to come from joy, not pressure. (2 Cor. 9:7)

2. Give what you value

Money, time, or talent can all be gifts to God.

3. Give regularly

Habits are built when we set aside our gifts. (1 Cor. 16:2a)

4. Give privately

Giving isn’t for attention — it’s to honor God. (Matt. 6:4)
