Today’s message is the third and final in the Financial Breakthrough series. In last week’s message, PK discussed one of the Ten Commandments, “Thou shall not covet.” He challenged us to take the steps necessary to move from coveting to contentment. This week’s message was PK’s annual, candid conversation about tithing. How, you might ask, does tithing—giving away more money—lead to a financial breakthrough? PK answers the “how” and the “why” in a very honest, thought provoking way. We might refer to this lesson as the “Skittles” lesson.
Q: Why do I faithfully RETURN the whole tithe to the storehouse?
#1) Because the Tithe Belongs to God.

He encouraged that God has a recipe for winning with money that is both biblical and universal. To teach that recipe, PK invited financial “Chef” Dave Ramsey (via video) to teach about 5 Basics of Biblical Finance.
