We get it, talking about money is nerve-wracking! But most church services have a dedicated time for offering because it’s a vital part of our worship.

Knowing what to say and having offering scriptures to back up your points is vital. And these biblical truths and principles about giving should put your heart at ease.

Here are five different aspects of giving to highlight in your tithes and offering time along with 15 tithing verses.

Our willingness to freely give shows our deep trust and dependence on God, acknowledging that He is the provider for all our needs.

Giving also shows that we prioritize God above all else. This frees us from the love of money, dependence on our possessions, and desire to hoard for ourselves. In other words, it helps us keep our priorities straight.

In addition, our obedience with the tithe is about giving FIRST to God. Following the biblical example of Abel, Abraham, and others, we know we’re simply returning to Him what He’s already given to us and that God blesses us in our giving.

So the next time you bring a tithe or offering, remember the true purpose behind the act and let it be a beautiful expression of worship and faith. Our willingness to give brings glory to His Name!

Furthermore, many times our concerns and troubles diminish when we shift our focus to serving others. Biblical giving not only helps meet physical needs, but these tithing verses show that it brings joy and spiritual fulfillment to both the giver and the receiver.

If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother

In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’

God doesn’t need our money or resources, so it’s not about giving a certain amount. Instead, it’s about the heart.

We’re not called to give an identical offering and shouldn’t judge others based on how much or little they’re able to give. Neither should we feel guilty or compelled to give out of obligation.

The gospels record the story of a widow who put two small copper coins in the offering box. Although Jesus and His disciples saw the rich putting in larger offerings, Jesus highlighted the poor widow’s sacrifice. She gave a perfect gift because she gave what she had, from the heart.
