Does the Church Need My Money?

Noah Herrin preaches about money as a matter of discipleship and worship, arguing that the church's problem is bad branding around money, not the biblical teaching itself. He lays out seven biblical money principles: we are stewards, money won't follow us to heaven, God wants idols out of our hearts not our money, we are called to tithe, we give because God is good, we grow where we sow, and our money can advance the gospel in ways only God gets credit for. Herrin defends tithing (the first 10%) from both Old and New Testament passages, encourages giving to the local 'storehouse,' and emphasizes accountability and transparency in church finances. He closes by inviting the congregation to participate in a year-end 'Only God' offering to fund mission work and gospel advancement.

“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so that there will be enough food in my temple.”15:21 · Noah Herrin

Take it with you

Practical steps: begin by giving the first 10% of your income to the local church (the 'storehouse') as an act of trust and worship. Give the first (not the last) portion to grow dependence on God, and then consider additional sacrificial giving to mission efforts like the church's Only God offering. Serve where you invest - where your money goes, your attention and commitment often follow. Expect accountability and transparency from the church's financial practices.
