Pastor Steve Gaines challenges the church to put God to the test by tithing as he teaches out of Malachi 3:6–12. The one place in Scripture where God invites us to test Him is in this Old Testament prophecy from a man named Malachi. If we are unwilling to surrender a portion of what God has given us back to Him and we choose to disobey the laws He has given us, how can we say we are the people of God? God blesses those who obey His commands, but He puts a curse upon those who will not carry out His instructions.
