Summary

Money can be a pretty sensitive topic for pastors to address, so there’s often a temptation to avoid the subject altogether. However, the needs of a church must be clearly communicated to its congregants.So, what principles should be followed? How much should members give—a tithe? What if someone is unemployed, or going through financial difficulty? Can the financial offering be replaced with service to the church?The team may not have all the answers, but today’s discussion offers some general guiding principles with a good dose of sanctified wisdom!We’re giving away copies of Randy Alcorn’s book, Money, Possessions, and Eternity. Register now and you might be one of the winners. This book is a generous gift of Tyndale House Publishers.
