Tithing to the Eternal Priest
Oct 20, 2024 • The Rev. Charlie Holt
Melchizedek, the mysterious priest-king who blessed Abraham with bread and wine, stands at the center of this stewardship sermon from Hebrews 7. Because Jesus is a priest who lives forever, a tithe is given to a who, not a what: an offering to the living Christ rather than a payment to an institution. A hard $1,000 check written in seminary illustrates giving as sacrifice, and Genesis 12 reminds the church it is blessed to be a blessing.
