In this message, Pastor Jeremiah addresses one of the most loaded topics in church life head-on — not apologetically, but with the same directness Jesus brought to it every time. Walking through Crossroads' financial accountability structures and the tangible kingdom impact of generosity, he draws from Matthew 6:19–21, Mark 12:41–44, and 2 Corinthians 9:7–8 to challenge the common assumption that giving comes last. He offers a reordered framework: give first (10%), save second (10%), spend third (80%). He reminds everyone that the tithe is not generosity, it's obedience, and a God who gave his own Son is not a God of dollar amounts, but of percentages and whole hearts.
