Taxes and Tithing | October 22, 2023 | Kyle Riley

Kyle Riley, our member in discernment, delivers a message reflecting on Matthew 22: 15-22, titled “Taxes and Tithing" on the Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost.

 

A brief synopsis:

This sermon emphasizes the profound connection between faith and finances, using the biblical story of paying taxes to Caesar as a starting point. It reflects on the power of money and challenges the notion that faith and finances should remain separate. Tithing invites people to surrender control of their finances to God, and even in a world marked by systemic injustices, giving is seen as an act of solidarity with the oppressed.
