St. Joseph Missionary Baptist Church encourages you to sow a seed into our ministry and our mission.

 

Scriptural giving is one of the fundamentals of the Faith.

2 Corinthians 8:7 says, “Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.”

​

1 Corinthians 16:2 says, “Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.”

​

Under Grace we give, and do not pay, the tithe – “Abraham GAVE the tenth of the spoils,” - Hebrews 7:2,4 – and this was four hundred years before the law, and is confirmed in the New Testament; Jesus said concerning the tithe, “these ought ye to have done”, Matthew 23:23.

 

We are commanded to bring the tithe into the common treasury of the church.

 

Leviticus 27:30 says, “The tithe ... is the Lord's.”

 

Malachi 3:10 says, “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.” In the New Testament it was the common treasury of the church
