Main Idea

Pastor Bryan's main idea in his sermon 'Choice' was that our financial freedom and spiritual well-being are deeply connected to the choices we make regarding our finances. He taught us that by choosing to honor God with our firstfruits, we make a significant decision that affects the direction of our lives. He stressed that tithing is a command from God, not a suggestion, and that it's a matter of obedience that reflects our trust in God's provision. By bringing our full tithe to the local church, we demonstrate a heart free from the love of money and open ourselves up to the blessings and protection that God promises to those who are faithful in their giving.

Scripture References

Malachi 3:6-12, Romans 8:32

Why is tithing the only commandment where God invites us to test Him, and what does that signify?

When we withhold our tithes, we're not just keeping money from the church; we're robbing God Himself.

What does the use of the word 'bring' instead of 'give' imply about our approach to tithing?

Discussion Questions:

How do you personally define 'increase' in the context of tithing, and what does it include?

Have you ever tried to limit what counts as 'increase' for tithing purposes, and what does that say about your heart?

Is there a difference between a 'partial' tithe and no tithe at all in God's eyes, and why?

God doesn't need our leftovers; He deserves our first and best, just as He gave us His best in Jesus Christ.

Summary

In the sermon 'Choice' from the series 'ABC = Free' at Reverb Church, Pastor Bryan emphasized the importance of making daily choices that honor God, particularly in the area of finances. He highlighted the principle of the firstfruits, urging us to bring our full tithe to our local church as a sign of obedience and trust in God. He explained that tithing is not about the amount but the heart behind it, and that it's a choice that leads to financial freedom and a life free from the idolatry of money. Pastor Bryan also reminded us that anything less than complete obedience in tithing is considered robbing God, and he encouraged us to start tithing fully and consistently to experience God's blessings and protection over our finances.

Call to Action

Some next steps to take this week:

Start tithing today, as delayed obedience is still disobedience.

Bring the whole tithe into your local church's storehouse, as partial obedience is also disobedience.
