Maybe your church has some members that might be willing to share a testimony of how God has worked in their lives when they have been obedient to God in how they handle their finances.
At one church, after their pastor preached several sermons on what stewardship/firstfruits is all about, one couple shared their conviction to tithe when they were first married. They revealed details of financial hardships they had endured through the years, but reported that they were diligent to tithe anyway. Sometimes they wondered how God was honoring their obedience. Recently they received a windfall of money, several times the amount they had tithed, and knew that it was a gift from God.
Another couple (both recently became Christians) shared how their love of money and acquisition of worldly goods was unfulfilling. Now that they've devoted their lives to Christ, they have a new focus in life and look forward to tithing a portion of their earnings. With the change in the stock market, this couple has lost much of their wealth, but it doesn't matter to them. They are cutting back and trusting that God will provide.
