BIBLICAL BASIS

WHY WE GIVE

At Revival House, we believe giving is an essential part of following Jesus because it is an act of worship, trust, and discipleship. Everything we have comes from God. Scripture reminds us that “The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof” (Psalm 24:1). When we give, we are not earning God’s love or paying Him back. We are responding to His grace. The Bible teaches us to give freely and joyfully, not out of pressure or guilt, because “God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7).

One of the primary ways Christians give is through the tithe. A tithe simply means “a tenth,” or 10 percent. In Scripture, the tithe is described as belonging to the Lord (Leviticus 27:30). Long before the Law was given, Abraham gave a tenth to God as an act of worship (Genesis 14:20), and Jacob committed a tenth as a response to God’s provision (Genesis 28:22). This shows us that the tithe is rooted in faith and gratitude, not legalism.

The reason the tithe is 10 percent is because God Himself established that standard. The tithe represents the first and best portion of what God provides. Proverbs 3:9 instructs us to honor the Lord with our wealth and with the firstfruits of all our increase. Giving first teaches us to trust God with the rest and reminds us that He is our source, not our income.

Scripture also teaches that giving should be based on our increase, meaning what God has provided to us. Giving from the first portion rather than leftovers trains our hearts to depend on God daily and to recognize His provision in every area of our lives.

At Revival House, we believe the tithe belongs in the local church. In Malachi 3:10, God instructed His people to bring the full tithe into the storehouse so that His work could continue. In the New Testament, the local church carries this role. The church is where believers are taught, discipled, cared for, and sent out on mission. God uses the giving of His people to support pastors, fund ministry, and advance the gospel (1 Corinthians 9:14; 1 Timothy 5:17–18).

The Bible also teaches that giving should be regular and planned. Paul instructed believers to give consistently and intentionally, saying, “On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside” (1 Corinthians 16:2). Regular giving helps us live faithfully and responsibly as stewards of what God has entrusted to us.

Most importantly, giving is not just about money, it is about the heart. Jesus taught that “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). At Revival House, we teach giving not as a burden, but as a blessing and a spiritual discipline that grows faith, brings freedom, and aligns our lives with God’s purposes.

COMMON QUESTIONS ON GIVING

Isn’t tithing an Old Testament practice?
While the tithe is mentioned in the Old Testament law, it did not begin there. Abraham and Jacob both practiced tithing before the law existed (Genesis 14:20; Genesis 28:22).

In the New Testament, Jesus affirmed the practice of tithing while emphasizing the importance of the heart (Matthew 23:23). This shows that tithing is a timeless principle rooted in worship and trust, not a temporary rule.
Does the New Testament require Christians to give 10% to the local church?
The New Testament does not restate the tithe as a command with a specific percentage. However, it consistently calls believers to generous, sacrificial, and intentional giving (2 Corinthians 8–9).

The tithe provides a biblical and practical starting point for generosity. For many believers, grace does not lead to giving less, but to giving more as God enables.
Shouldn’t we just give whatever we feel led to give?
Scripture teaches that giving should come from the heart, but it also teaches faithfulness and planning. Paul instructed believers to set aside their giving regularly and intentionally (1 Corinthians 16:2).

A consistent practice like the tithe helps guard against giving only when it feels convenient or emotional.
Why give to the local church instead of other ministries or people in need?
The local church is God’s primary means of caring for believers, advancing the gospel, and meeting needs. Scripture teaches that those who preach the gospel should be supported by the gospel (1 Corinthians 9:14).

Giving to the local church ensures that ministry, discipleship, and mission continue faithfully. Beyond the tithe, believers are encouraged to give generously to other needs and causes as God leads.
What if I’m new to faith or in a difficult financial season?
God is patient and gracious. Giving is not about perfection but direction. As you grow in faith, we encourage you to pray, seek God’s wisdom, and take steps toward trusting Him with your finances. Even small, faithful steps matter to God.

Can I give more than 10%?
Yes—absolutely. The tithe is best understood as a starting point for generosity, not a limit. In Scripture, God’s grace often leads believers to give beyond what is required.

The New Testament encourages generosity that is willing and sacrificial, reminding us that “whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully” (2 Corinthians 9:6). Offerings given above the tithe are a meaningful way to respond to God’s blessing, support special needs, and advance the mission of the church.

Giving more than ten percent is an act of worship, not obligation.
Can I divide my tithe between two churches?
Biblically, the tithe is meant to support the local church where you are spiritually planted, shepherded, and actively participating.

In Scripture, the tithe was brought into the “storehouse” so that the work of God in that community could be sustained (Malachi 3:10). In the New Testament, this principle continues through the local church, which provides teaching, care, leadership, and mission.

While it is good and biblical to give generously to other churches, missionaries, and ministries, these gifts are best understood as offerings that are above and beyond your tithes.

The tithe supports your primary spiritual home; offerings allow you to bless others beyond it.
How does Revival House use the tithe?
At Revival House, tithes are used to support the mission and ministry God has entrusted to our church. This includes caring for our pastors and leaders, funding Sunday services, Supper Clubs, Study Clubs, discipleship, outreach, missions, and meeting practical needs within our church family and community.

Scripture teaches that those who preach and lead should be supported by the church (1 Corinthians 9:14; 1 Timothy 5:17–18), and that resources are to be stewarded faithfully for the work of the gospel. We are committed to handling every gift with prayer, wisdom, integrity, and accountability so that God is honored and lives are impacted.

If Revival House is your church home and you are already faithfully tithing here, we welcome further conversations about church finances. We are committed to transparency and are glad to share financial information with those who are actively participating in regular giving and supporting the mission of this church. Email info@revivalhouse.us

Why are detailed financial conversations reserved for members who tithe at Revival House?
At Revival House, we believe that financial transparency exists within the context of relationship, trust, and shared responsibility. The Bible teaches that the local church is a spiritual family, and like any family, certain conversations are meant to happen among those who are fully committed and actively participating in its life and mission.

Scripture teaches that those who contribute to the work of the church also share in the responsibility and stewardship of that work. Paul explains that believers who support the ministry are partners in it (Philippians 1:5), and that leaders are entrusted to steward resources on behalf of the people they serve (1 Corinthians 4:1–2). Because of this, deeper financial conversations are most meaningful and appropriate with those who are invested in the vision and mission of Revival House through membership and faithful giving.

Requiring membership and consistent tithing before engaging in detailed financial discussions also protects the church from distraction, suspicion, and division. The Bible encourages leaders to guard the unity and health of the church (Titus 1:7; Hebrews 13:17). Financial information can easily be misunderstood or taken out of context when there is not a shared understanding of the church’s values, priorities, and calling.

This practice is not about secrecy or control. We are committed to integrity, accountability, and wise stewardship. Instead, it is about ensuring that financial discussions take place in an environment of mutual trust, spiritual maturity, and shared mission. Members who give faithfully are not just donors—they are partners in what God is doing through Revival House.

For anyone who is exploring Revival House or still discerning if this is their church home, we are always happy to talk about our vision, mission, theology, and values. As people become members and commit to giving, deeper transparency naturally follows as part of shared responsibility within the church family.
