At the core of any healthy challenge, there is an intended outcome and permanent lifestyle change that drives discipline and commitment. Generosity and Legacy are lifestyles that God directly calls us to, but every journey has a starting point, and we cannot realize that lifestyle without successive development and refinement from Christ.  This journey of tithing must begin with a foundational understanding of the biblical principle of first fruits and the scriptural call to express trust in God by giving our first and best.

After watching the video, spend some time over the next few days answering these questions:  What is the biblical principle of first fruits?
