This Sunday, the twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost, we will continue our sermon series on the Book of Deuteronomy. The series is entitled Words for People on the Border.
The text we will explore is Deuteronomy 14:22-29; a passage that begins a much larger section on Sabbath regulations and social legislation. The text we will be considering deals with the command to tithe a tenth of the annual harvest by bringing it to the centralized place of worship where YWHW dwells.
For what has become a rather routine practice or a life-long struggle, Deuteronomy offers a fresh perspective on the purpose and meaning of the tithe. How can this rather ancient statute written for a completely different political and economic context inform our giving today?
