Do you believe in 'tithing' or giving a percentage of your income to church? Do you believe it's even worth giving to the church?
In this 4th sermon in our EasterTide series, Sarah Ngu explains how technically, tithing -- giving a percentage of your income to the church -- is an outdated concept rooted in a time when Israel was a sovereign nation where people had to give taxes, or tithes, to their priests. We don't live in such a context- so why give? When we give, we remember that our lives themselves are a gift, we are simply repaying our Creator and acknowledge our dependence on all that is. Giving is a liturgical act that shapes our hearts towards gratitude.
