2 Corinthians 8-9: "Grace Giving - Beyond Tithing." 4
oday's message, focusing especially on chapter 9, is the conclusion of the exposition of these two chapters that reveal in detail, one of the major changes that came about as a result of Jesus' inauguration of the New Covenant - that of the stewardship of His resources allotted to us as His people. The Apostle makes it clear that GIVING under the New Covenant goes "beyond tithing" and is characterized by JOY and gracious liberality, rather than by "constraint" or pressure and a "grudgingly" attitude.
