Why Should I Put God First?

We are challenging our Abyssinian community to experience the joy and transformation that comes when we put God first. For the next 90 days, commit to tithing faithfully and watch how God works in your life. We are trusting God with our finances.

WHAT IS TITHING?

A tithe is the first 10% of a person’s income that is returned to God through the local church. Tithing is a biblical principle that invites God’s blessing on our lives and families as we put Him first in our finances.

In Malachi 3:10, God says: “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”

EASY & RISK FREE

When you take the God First: 90-Day Tithing Challenge, we offer a money-back guarantee! If you faithfully tithe to the Abyssinian Church for the full 3-month period and feel God hasn’t proven faithful to His promises, we will refund 100% of the tithes you contributed during these 90 days. No questions asked.

This challenge isn’t about testing God – it’s about giving you the opportunity to experience God’s faithfulness in a new way. We’re so confident in God’s promises that we’re willing to back this challenge with a guarantee.

Why should I tithe and put God first?

Tithing is about trust. When we tithe, we acknowledge that everything we have comes from God, and we’re putting Him first in our finances. It’s an act of faith that demonstrates our belief that God is our provider. It also supports the church’s mission and ministry in our community and beyond.

What is the difference between a tithe and an offering?

A tithe is specifically the first 10% of your income that you give to God through your local church. An offering is anything you give beyond your tithe. Both are acts of worship, but tithing is the biblical starting point for giving.

How do I participate in the God First: 90-Day Challenge?

To participate, sign up using the form below, commit to giving 10% of your income to Abyssinian Church for 90 days, attend our Wednesday night teachings, and share your testimony along the way.

How will you keep track of my tithe?

Our church provides quarterly giving statements that track your contributions. You’ll receive updates on your giving throughout the challenge. However, this challenge is between you and God – we trust that you’re honoring your commitment.

What are the benefits of tithing?

When you tithe, you can experience spiritual growth, freedom from financial anxiety, and the joy of partnering with God in His work. Many who tithe report a greater sense of peace about their finances and experience God’s provision in unexpected ways.
