Monday: Where Is the Storehouse?
Read Malachi 3:10. What can we learn from this verse about where our tithe should go?
Though specific directions are not given in the text, it is nevertheless evident that God’s people knew what He meant by the word “storehouse.” God does include in His directions, “that there may be food in My house” (NKJV). His people understood that God’s house initially was the sanctuary — the elaborate tent that was built by specific directions given to Moses at Mount Sinai. Later when Israel lived in the Promised Land, the central location was first in Shiloh and then more permanently at the temple in Jerusalem.
Read Deuteronomy 12:5-14. These verses do not indicate that God’s children could use their own discretion as to where their tithe was deposited. What principles can we take from these verses for ourselves today?

As members of God’s family, we want to understand and practice His will regarding what to do with our tithe. In the biblical narrative, we learn that three times in each year — Passover, Pentecost, and Feast of Tabernacles (Exodus 23:14-17) — God’s people were to travel to Jerusalem to bring their tithes and offerings personally and to praise and to worship God. Then the Levites distributed the tithe to their brethren all over the land of Israel (see 2 Chronicles 31:11-21, Nehemiah 12:44-47, Nehemiah 13:8-14). In harmony with this biblical central storehouse principle, the Seventh-day Adventist Church has designated the local conferences, missions, and unions of churches as storehouses on behalf of the world church, and from which the ministry is paid.
For the convenience of church members, the tithe is brought to the local church, where, as part of their worship experience, members bring their tithes and offerings, though some use online giving. The local treasurers then forward the tithe to the conference storehouse. This system of tithe management, outlined and ordained by God, has enabled the Seventh-day Adventist Church to have a worldwide and growing impact in the world.
| Imagine if everyone decided to give their tithe to whomever they wanted to, at the expense of the Adventist church itself. What would happen to our church? Why is that practice, then, such a bad idea and contrary to Scripture? |
Amen!

A Deeper Worship Experience #sermon #shorts
Worship is an important part of our experience with God. It’s how we express gratitude to God and learn more about Him. But, how can we prepare ourselves to get the most out of any worship experience? The most important thing you can do when preparing for a worship experience, either by leading or participating, is to pray. Pray that God would prepare your heart as you come into His presence. This #short clip from the Global #Campmeeting sermon, “Four Practical Ways to Deepen Your Worship Experience Through Music” with Ryan Day and Tim Parton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyIit3qqREE&list=PL-k2Gb-DBYo9tb9fHW_AxGxJ1R8MpNnpa&index=41 delves into the importance of prayer as we prepare to be in the presence of the Lord. Watch the video to hear more about deepening your worship experience through prayer. ————————————————————————————

Diving Into the Scriptures #TedWilson #shorts
The Bible is God’s message; it is His word given to humanity in our language through men who were inspired and “moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:21). As Seventh-day Adventists, the Scriptures are the very foundation upon which we base all of our beliefs. Hence, the very first fundamental belief of the Church pertains to our belief in the truth and inspiration of the Holy Scriptures. Listen to Pastor Ted Wilson’s message as he shows how Jesus is woven throughout the entire Bible because the Scriptures are a perfect representation of Him and His gospel plan of salvation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJeAv9lKHNc&list=PL-k2Gb-DBYo_ANrUJhHN2_4bSlMDTjuqQ&index=96 ———————————————————————————— The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been an established denomination since 1863.

No coercion but wonderful recommendation…
Memory Text: Malachi 3:10 – Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.
