THIS TITHE IS ALIVE! – In God We Trust Series, Part 2 09.18.16 Mat Cotner

September 12, 2016 by Pastor David Rathel

RiverTown Family,

Has the practice of Tithing ever seemed lifeless to you? Before you start tithing, it’s hard to have the facts necessary to bring your financial faith to life. For those who have practiced tithing for many years, it can be easy to fall into a habit that feels like a dead rut. God’s wants all His children to have the electrifying experience of seeing their tithe “Come To Life” in God’s hands.

This Sunday morning, Mat Cotner’s message will help you discover the shocking truth that awakens dead tithes. My prayer is that you’ll see the miracle of tithing come to life “before your eyes.” The power of God’s Holy Spirit can touch your finances and make you say – THIS TITHE IS ALIVE!

Pastor David Rathel

About Pastor David Rathel

My wife, Melanie, and I moved back to Columbus with our two week old little girl, Hannah, after finishing Graduate School in Fort Worth, Texas in 2001. RiverTown Church was born in a movie theater on September 9th that same year with a vision to be “a church for people who don’t go to church” here in our hometown. God has blessed us since then with a great location on Schomburg Rd. near my old neighborhood and High School. New people are coming to RiverTown all the time and discovering that God can “transform their lives into the likeness of Jesus Christ” through a church family where you can Believe, Belong, and Become!

From our first prayer meetings in a living room in nearby Phenix City, to our preview services and grand opening the Hollywood Connection movie theater, and finally to our current property and buildings on Schomburg Rd. God has led us all the way.

My wife and I both grew up here, so we know the people and love it here. Melanie keeps me going! We’ve been through all the good, the bad, and the ugly of life and have found that everything is sweeter together. You’ll never find us at a church event on a Friday night. We’ve had date night on Fridays since my first day as a Pastor. We met while working together in a Franklin Graham evangelistic crusade here in Columbus in 1996. Our second child is named Graham for that very reason! Our first child, Hannah, was born in Forth Worth just before we finished Seminary in 2001. Two weeks after she was born in Fort Worth, we were on the road back to Columbus to knock on doors and start RiverTown. She and the church will always be the same age!

On this blog, you'll be the first to know what God is teaching me and teaching through me to our church family. We'll laugh together and sometimes cry together. Most of all, you'll be challenged to take your next step in following Jesus Christ.
