UP NEXT: Tithes and Offerings (for more info, tap expand)

Giving is our expression of trust as followers of the Word of God. We give our tithe (Hebrew for 10%) saying "God, we trust that you are our provider" and He seemingly always provides! We understand this may be new to some, but we encourage you to start wherever you can. <br>-If you have never given, trust God with something--some percentage.<br>-If you have trusted God with something, trust him with the 10%.<br>-If you have trusted God with the 10%, lets trust him with more. <br>Generosity starts after the tithe and God has called us to be generous just like him.

You Can Give Online Here

If you have never given before, it takes about 90 seconds to complete this process. If you have signed up before, giving takes less than 20 seconds! You also have the ability to give in service.

Big Idea/Concept: Pretense kills family life.
There are elephants in families that have been around so long they’ve become the family pet.

II Samuel 12:1-7

Pretense = problems we don’t own
Problems we don't own become elephants that own us
The longer elephants hang around, the more they stink!
Family elephants lose their power when they're uncovered.
The difference between healthy families and dysfunctional ones is the willingness to acknowledge and deal with difficulty.
An elephant free family is not a problem free family.
Action Steps: What can you do this week to confront the elephants in your life?

Proverbs 28:13

Big Idea: Pretense kills family life. Pretense Kills church life.
