GIVE OF YOUR BEST TO THE MASTER - First Fruits (a blogpost for a sermon to be preached on November 23, 2014)

My family on my mom's side are farmers.  They work hard.  They know what faith is.  They know what it means to trust in the Lord.  They have had much but often have had little.

In the Old Testament, the children of Israel were taught to give the first fruits back to God.  That wasn't the extent of their giving, but they had to give the first fruits first.  They didn't give God what was left over; they gave His part first.

Are you giving God your first fruits or third fruits?  Does your giving demonstrate faith or lack of faith?
