In our first message in the the LA Kings of the Bible sermon series, Pastor Dudley Rutherford preaches on the incident in 2 Samuel 24:1-25 when King David took a census of his soldiers. David did not trust in God for victory and immediately realized he had sinned. A plague falls on the land and in order to stop it, David offers a sacrifice on Araunah's threshing floor. We learn three important stewardship principles from this story: 1.) God's grace doesn't remove our need to give; 2.) God is honored by giving that reflects His worth; and 3.) God uses our giving to do far more than we will ever realize.
