What is a tithe?
Scripture encourages giving to God a "first fruits" offering – in an agricultural world, this meant taking the first 10 percent of your crop or yield and offering it to God. The people gave God their first harvest, trusting God would provide what they needed as the season went on. Giving God a percentage of our income is a way we begin to trust and rely on God more deeply.
Getting started with tithing
Step One
Pick a percentage of your income God is inviting you to give. Start at a percentage that feels like a stretch. Use the tithe step chart below to visualize what giving a tithe would look like relative to your weekly household income.
