I the Lord do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.
“But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’ “Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. “But you ask, ‘How do we rob you?’ “In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse—the whole nation of you—because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit,” says the Lord Almighty. Malachi 3:6-11

Churches you can’t afford to not be blessed by the Lord. Your church needs to be a giving force. Preach heart change!

Those that call themselves Christ-followers. You can’t afford to not be blessed by the almighty and not be giving back 10%.

Money is never our focus, BUT giving gauges the heart!

Author and church planter, Vince Antonucci is launching a new church on the strip in Las Vegas. God used Vince’s book, I Became a Christian and all I Got was a Lousy T-Shirt, in big ways in my journey in loving God and love People, as a Christ-follower should. If Jesus walked on this earth today, He would be in Vegas, not because of all the “sin” there, but because the people need Jesus’ love, His hope and His salvation.

500 people, $100, days from Brightbulb on Vimeo.

Straight from Vince’s mouth, or more like his finger tips:

We have an unbelievable opportunity to get an amazing space as the permanent, 24/7 facility that can be home to our church services, seminars, food co-op and all we’re doing for the church we’re starting here in Vegas.

So if we can get this space it would change everything for us, in an awesome way. The problem is that there are expenses to get into the building, and so we need to raise $50,000 – and the way we’ve chosen to do that is $100 at a time. To make this happen, we need 500 people who will give $100. Would you please be one of those people?

To learn more, and to give, go to www.verveventure.org.

Also, 500 is A LOT of people, so would you please let your friends know about this, put it on your blog, Facebook it, Twitter the web site, send smoke signals, whatever you can to help us get the word out.

Thank you SO MUCH for considering this – you have no idea how much it means!

So they’re going to do it $100 at a time. They’re looking for 500 people who would give $100 each. Would you consider being one of those people? Join me in giving $100 bucks. To learn more, and to give, go to www.verveventure.org.
