Above and Beyond

Last week we learned that the tithe belongs to God and establishes order in our lives and in the Church. This week, we’re looking at what Exodus 35 calls “freewill offerings” that go beyond the tithe. At Cedar Valley, we call this “Kingdom Builders,” an offering given freely, above and beyond your tithe. As we’ll see in Exodus 35, these offerings aren’t about pressure, guilt, or manipulation, but about worship, willing hearts, and responding to God’s vision. The whole church is called to pray, plan, and dream about what God might do—locally and globally—through our Kingdom Builders offerings. . We don’t just give to keep the lights on; we give to send the light out.
