MESSAGE NOTES: Money Talks #2

02: WHY I TITHE

Introduction:

• We are continuing our series focused on discipleship in the area of our finances.
• Discipleship is following Jesus… what does it look like to really follow Jesus in the area of our finances? 
• In my bag is a term that refers to being “focused, diligently working on something, being in the zone” – I believe that God has some big things in store for us but part of the prep is embracing discipleship when it comes to our finances.
• We are called to be a blessing to nations.
• God is looking for people and church families to whom he can give great resources – because He trusts them to be ‘distribution centres’.
• We have to be faithful with little so we can be rulers over much (Matthew 25:21) – we need to be in our bag where we are at so we can be trusted with more.
