How to make change in the offering basket!

Say What?!  Week 3: "Tithe" Talking about money in church makes many people squirm, but when rightly understood it's simply about giving back to God--cheerfully, sacrificially, and regularly. Key scripture: 2 Corinthians 8-9 Three Characteristics of Giving 1.  Cheerfully (2 Corinthians 9:7) 2.  Sacrificially (2 Corinthains 8:3-5) 3.  Regularly  (1 Corinthians 16:2) Questions for Reflection and Discussion 1. Read 2 Corinthians 8-9.  How would you explain this in your own words? 2. What gets in the way of people giving cheerfully through the church? What challenges have you had in this area?  How do Paul words encourage you? 3. Who do you know who need help right now? How can God use you to help them?
