The Affirmation of Faith (The Apostles Creed):

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen

Why Should I Tithe?

Reason 7: Tithing Is An Investment For Eternity. Jesus told us in Matthew 6:20, “But lay up for yourself treasures in heaven…” When you give your tithes and offerings to the Lord’s work, you are investing your money in souls for the Kingdom. What an honor to give to God and see people’s lives changed for eternity.

Look for Reason 8 next week.
