The difference between a casual, non-God-honoring Christian and a devoted follower of Jesus Christ is summed up in this one word: Commitment .

You will honor God through this genuine act of service and generosity because of your commitment to spread the Good News of Christ … ( 2 Cor 9:13, GW ).

What is " Storehouse Tithing ?"

God said, Bring the full tithe, the whole tithe, into the storehouse . Why? So that there will be ample provisions, resources, supply, in my House. God's House is the home church that houses multiple ministries and missions. Bible scholars call this "Storehouse Tithing."

It is the giving the firstfruits of ten percent of our income to God's House of many ministries and missions, so that there are financial resources to extend the Gospel in your assembly home and through ministries and missions here and around the world. South Hills Assembly qualifies for being God's House where you release the Lord's tithe, the whole tithe.

And God said it's this kind of giving that He will bless. God said, Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.

There are good reasons to give the whole tithe in the South Hills Assembly Storehouse, God's House, of many ministries and missions:

1. It is effective giving. Tithes feed the roots and the trunk of the tree of South Hills Assembly.

2. It's practical giving. There's bills, materials, compensations of a whole staff for the ministries and staff enjoyed in community.

3. It is accountable giving. Sound financial policies and procedures are used and being further developed to provide great trust in your giving.

There are personal reasons to tithe:

1. It demonstrates that God has first place in our lives.

2. It's an opportunity to show gratitude to God for the life and eternity He has for us.

3. It's an opportunity to experience joy. Spiritually and physically, giving does us good.

4. It's an opportunity to be blest by God.

5. It's an opportunity to store up treasures in heaven. God takes note of everything we do in fasting, praying, serving and giving. Jesus receives the tithes.

6. It's the opportunity to be a good steward for God.
