New Saturday Morning Bible Study: “Kingdom Stewardship & Tithing”
Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. | Led by Rev. Dr. Charles W. Wormley, Pastor | For All MZBC Members
Mount Zion Baptist Church is excited to announce a new Saturday Morning Bible Study for all members, beginning at 10:00 a.m. each Saturday. Under the prayerful leadership of Rev. Dr. Charles W. Wormley, Pastor, we will explore the timely and transformational topic: Kingdom Stewardship and Tithing.
This study will deepen our understanding of biblical stewardship—how we honor God with our time, talent, and treasure—and why tithing is both a spiritual discipline and a declaration of trust in God as our source.
Who Should Attend:
All MZBC members—whether you’re new to the faith, growing in stewardship, or seeking to refresh your understanding—are warmly invited. Bring your Bible, a notebook, and an open heart.
Why This Study Matters
Stewardship is about more than finances; it’s about living our entire lives under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Tithing is not just a transaction; it’s a testimony—an act of worship that says, “God, You come first.” Together, we’ll look at Scripture, ask questions, and learn practical ways to live faithfully and generously in our homes, our church, and our community.
A Short Story to Encourage Your Heart
“The Jar and the First Cup”
Brother James kept a simple ceramic jar on his kitchen counter—his “Blessing Jar.” Every payday, he set aside his tithe first: the first cup from the jar. At times, money felt tight, and the jar looked thin. But each month he honored God first, even when it felt risky.
One Saturday morning, Brother James came to Bible Study discouraged, unsure how he’d make it to month’s end. Sister Ruth overheard and gently advised, “You keep giving the first cup. God has a way of refilling the jar.”
That afternoon, Brother James received an unexpected refund and a call about a better-paying position. He stood in church the next day with tears in his eyes. “The jar wasn’t empty,” he testified. “God was making room for more.”
Moral: When we honor God first, He teaches us that our supply doesn’t come from the jar—it comes from His hand.
Scripture for Reflection
- Malachi 3:10 (KJV):
*“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 the…
