In this dynamic sermon series, Dr. Watley convincingly shows the biblical foundation for tithing. Speaking from his own life and ministry, he testifies to the transformation that results when people offer their full tithes to God. Readers will see that churches can begin to fulfill their potential when members respond to God s goodness by returning to God a tenth of their time and income.

Addresses many questions including:
What does the Bible say about tithing?
Does tithing mean you will prosper and be free of debt?
What do you mean that I don t own what I earn?
Do you give out of a sense of duty or love?
How can I give when I have so little?
Is tithing possible only for perfect Christians?

Inspiring, challenging, and Bible-centered, these sermons fully explore the concept of tithing. Drawing lessons from the experiences of such biblical personalities as Jacob and Esau, Abram and Lot, Cain and Abel, and Paul, and exploring the teachings of Jesus, Dr. Watley calls Christians to remember the greatest gift of all—God s own Son—and to respond in love and gratitude.
