*Why Should I Tithe?*
*Pastor Keith Hassell*
 
 
 
*1.
The tithe belongs to the Lord.

And he gave him a tithe of     all.
"/
b.         Genesis 28:20-22  /"Then Jacob made a vow, saying, 'If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on, so that I come back to my father's house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God.
And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You."// /
 
*6.
Tithing teaches us the fear of the Lord.
*
a.         Deuteronomy 14:22-23  /"You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year.
And you shall eat before the Lord your God, in the place where He chooses to make -His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always."
/
 
*7.
The tithe supports the work of God through His house.*
a.        Genesis 28:/22  "And this stone which I have set as pillar shall be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You." /
b.        Nehemiah 13:10-12  /"I also realized that the portions for the Levites had not been given them; for each of the Levites and the singers who did the work had gone back to his field.

And I gathered them together and set them in their place.
Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the storehouse.''/
c.        Malachi 3:10  /"Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house."/

The tithe frees God’s ministers to devote themselves to undistracted service to God and to His people.

/
f.          1 Timothy 5:17-18 /"Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.
For the Scripture says, 'You shall not muzzle the ox while it treads out the grain,' and, 'The laborer is worthy of his wages.'"
/
g.         Acts 6:2-4  "/Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, 'it is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables.

/
h.         1 Corinthians 9:7-11 /"Who ever goes to war at his own expense?
Who plants a vineyard and does not eat     of its fruit?
Or who tends a flock and does not drink     of the milk of the flock?
Do I say these things as a mere man?
Or does not the law say the same also?
For it is written in the law of 14oses, 'You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain." is it oxen God is concerned about?
Or does He say it altogether for our sakes?
For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope.
If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things?"
/
i.          1 Corinthians 9:13-14   /"Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of I the offerings of the altar?
Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live' from the gospel."/

.”/
