Trusting in God: The Power of Putting God First

Jan 4, 2026    Pastor Roy Hayes

What do you do when God asks you to trust Him first—especially when it feels like you don’t have enough? 

In this message, we unpack the powerful story of the woman at Zarephath and how one decision to give first shifted her future from survival to sustained provision. Learn how faith reveals itself through trust, why God multiplies what we release instead of what we store, and how tithing protects the heart from fear and the deceitfulness of riches. 

Discover how small decisions—like a dime out of a dollar—can quietly sabotage fruitfulness, and how putting God first keeps the Word from being choked and your harvest protected. 

This teaching will help you: 

Understand giving as an act of trust, not pressure 

Recognize how riches can deceive without you realizing it 

See tithing as a defense against fear and self-reliance 

Align your heart with faith so provision flows consistently 

Giving first isn’t about what leaves your hand—it’s about who you trust with your future. 

👉 Watch, reflect, and allow your faith to rise as you learn to put God first.
