He Is Good

In this powerful message, we're challenged to reconsider our perspective on tithing and giving. The central theme revolves around Malachi 3, where God invites us to 'test Him' in our giving. But this isn't just about money - it's about our relationship with God and our trust in His goodness. We're reminded that God's character is unchanging; He's always been a God of grace, from the Old Testament to the New. The message beautifully connects our giving to remembering God's faithfulness in our lives. Just as He delivered the Israelites from Egypt, He's delivered us from sin through Jesus, our Passover Lamb. This parallel invites us to respond with generosity, not out of obligation, but out of love and gratitude. The psychological aspect of viewing God as a 'cranky dad' versus a loving Father who wants to bless us is particularly striking. It challenges us to examine our lens through which we view God and how that impacts our willingness to trust Him with our resources. Ultimately, this message isn't about finances; it's about returning to our first love and doing the things we did at first, as mentioned in Revelation 2:4-5. It's an invitation to rekindle our passion for God and trust Him in every area of our lives.
