Tithing Short & Sweet with a Treat Lesson 19
Opening Song: Children’s Songbook pg 150 “I Want to Give the Lord My Tenth”
Opening Prayer: Tyra
Scripture: Malachi 3:10-11 “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.”
Lesson: What is tithing? Tithing is one tenth of the money that we receive. The simple fact that Kyle has a job, and that he makes money is a blessing given by our Heavenly Father, and all he asks in return is that we give back one tenth.
Elder Dallin H Oaks (Quorum of the 12 Apostles) said that his mother, a widow, paid her tithing even on a schoolteacher’s small income. She told him that they could not get along without paying tithing. She explained that she could not raise her children as a single parent without the blessings of the Lord she received by paying an honest tithe. The Lord has promised to bless us when we pay our tithing (see “Tithing”, Ensign, May 1994).
