Scripture and questions for study and reflection:

1. Read Malachi 3:6-11. How does this passage speak to you? Or does
it? Should it? Discuss your thoughts with others.

2. What does it mean to you that God is unchanging and quick to
extend mercy? What does God want you to do? (v. 7)

3. God says, \\u201cYou are under a curse...your whole nation...because you
are robbing me.\\u201d How do you interpret this statement?

4. God says that we \\u201crob Him.\\u201d Have you ever asked yourself, \\u201dHow
am I robbing God?\\u201d If so, how have you robbed God? What is your
understanding on how to rectify this problem? (v. 9)

5. In most situations God warns us not to test him. Why do you think
He invites us to test him in this passage?

6. What is the significance of the tithe being \\u201cbrought\\u201d versus \\u201cgiven\\u201d?
Read Proverbs 3:9-10 and Exodus 23:19. What are the first fruits?

7. If you\\u2019re not currently tithing, are you willing to take the tithing
challenge? Are you willing to trust Jesus with your finances?

Prayer for the Week:

Dear Lord, Your Word tells me that it is more blessed to give than to
receive. Please make me a faithful steward of the gifts You have given
me, and let me share those gifts generously with others, today and
every day that I live. Help me Lord to fully understand that tithing is a
privilege and a way that I can honor and love you. Thank you, Lord for
all things. Amen.
