What an exciting moment it is to begin the journey of giving! What begins with a basic understanding of the biblical reasons for giving often grows into a desire to tithe. But actually, this is only the first step. As you gain God’s perspective on ownership, money, and stewardship through His Word, you will learn how and why you are called to give so that you can develop your own personal passion for generosity.
