HOUSE OF DAVID 3 – GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF, 8-2-26, Lead Pastor Jeff Aenk, New Hope Christian Church

Hebrews 10:24-25 - 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Yet you rob me. “But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’ “In tithes (10%) and offerings (Anything Beyond 10%). 9 You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe (1st & Best 10%) into the storehouse (Jesus Church), that there may be food (Provision for My Work) in my house (My Church). 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 there will not be room enough to store it.
