In 2016, the Seventh-day Adventist Church surpassed $1 billion in tithe collected. It's an amazing amount when we ponder from where we came and how the concept of tithing began and evolved within the Church.

So, with episode 45, we begin a series of episodes on tithing within our denomination. It's our hope you will not only find them informative, but you will be inspired and amazed how God has worked through the faithfulness of His people to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ in fulfilling the mission given to us to let the world know Jesus is coming soon.
