Four Ingredients to Financial Freedom | Ps Mark Collard | God, Money & Me Series - 15th March 2026

In this message, Ps Mark Collard continues a series on financial freedom, unpacking the first and most foundational ingredient: stewardship through tithing.

Drawing from Malachi 3, Proverbs 3, Matthew 23, and the story of Abraham, Ps Mark teaches that tithing is not an obligation or a law principle, it is a covenant principle that runs from Genesis to Revelation, affirmed by Jesus himself.

This is a message for anyone who wants to stop struggling financially and start living under the blessing and protection of God, handled on God's terms, not the world's.

Key themes covered:

The four ingredients to financial freedom: stewardship, sowing/seeding, savings, and spending

Why tithing establishes God's sovereignty over your finances

The difference between paying, giving, and returning the tithe

Why the tithe is gross, first, and belongs to the storehouse (your local church)

The promise of Malachi 3 — open floodgates and a rebuked devourer

Why tithing is not generosity — it is returning what already belongs to God

How God does more with your 90% than you can do with 100%

Key Scriptures:

2 Corinthians 9

Proverbs 3:9

Matthew 23:23
