Great message. I remember when I first got saved, what my pastor whos long since been dead, told me; pay your tithes. Don't rob God. I can say honestly, that God has always taken care of me! Always.
Wonderful walk on the verge on the seam of his waters, whilst the sands have left that impression of his truth on your breath good fisher of man. Thank you.
He is no fool Who gives What he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose Eternity is worth the choice Choose the narrow path that leads to life eternal
REFORMED TRINITOLOGY: I'm going to chime in right here and say that the lack of tithing among today's believers has less to do with breaking the 10th commandment and more to do with ignorant stewardship practices and chronic consumerism! 🙏😓
You are right. I was certainly guilty of that when I was young. A lot of things I thought were needs were not even just wants, they were frivolous indulgences. I admire young people who are wise. For me it took a big chunk of my lifetime to see how selfish and materialistic I have been.
There is a sense in which it is more difficult to live the Christian life now than it’s ever been because of our relative wealth because, like RC states, we all live better than the vast majority of our ancestors throughout the history of the world, and that means even people who live on public assistance with two, large-screen TVs, a car, cell phones and who knows what else.
I can tell you from working in the construction industry for the last 10 years that if you tear down a smaller building like a warehouse before you start building the newer and bigger one, all your goods are going to get awfully wet whenever it rains sitting outside And likely stolen even before that. Then again, I guess that’s not really the point of the parable.
No new covenant Scripture says we must tithe - not even one. free-will or love offering is what's condoned. I love this preacher and his messages but I think he made an error here. A lot of false teachers have used tithing as a way to make themselves very wealthy - that is never spoken against - why ?
I don't tithe because my church doesn't do anything with the money. I rather give to the homeless than give to my church. We both are guided my the holy ghost so why should they know better than me. Is their holy ghost more holy? Please explain to me if we are all led by the spirit. I have much reverence for the Lord but I struggle with this. Maybe I should find a different church but the problem may be with me. Idk
Why tithe to preachers who only enrich themselves by it? My offering goes to the congregation, but my resources above my offering go to proclaiming the gospel via mailings, handouts, and charity.
I’d like to hear a biblical case for a implied or required New Testament “tithe”. And yes I mean the meaning of the word. One tenth. Where is this teaching? I love listening to Sproul but I can’t get behind the teaching that a Christian “has” to give 1/10th. Can someone offer up a case for it?
Im not sure what is calvanism is about. But i follow the bible, so far i can not disagree with this man. But if anyone is welling could u tell me what is calvanism different from the bible.
👍How many parables Jesus gave us? 50-60? Could there be someone bigger than Jesus? Another Holy Man from Israel gave us more than 200 parables. My favorite is called 'The poor farmer and the precious wine' 🙏
This parable has nothing to do with tithing, even the Apostle Paul taught about generous giving, and not one mention on tithing. It feels like the flock is being fleeced.
"The Parables of Jesus" Yes kind Sir..."Parables" then; are "Examples" today... And Jesus used them in untold ways. Of course He did that; because in those days; MOST people could not read nor write, Sad. And as satan would have it; they were "scared of their own shadows"; and all myriad of superstitions; throughout the then world. etc! So Jesus used them; hoping they would understand the truths of His Gospel; rather than satan's lies; which has never stopped to this very day. Thus today, we have over 3,000+ different religious "Doctrines" all over the world. And growing every day... Worse: They ALL say, "We are right and you are wrong!" And even worse they ALL say, "We get ours from the bible!" How sad. May Jesus have mercy on them. End of Story... ...In any case kind Sir, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!
YAHAWAHSHI Is The True Name Of Jesus And Not Any Other False Names. By The Mightiest Name Of True GOD YAHAWAHSHI I Pray Amen. Please Send Angels To Wage Curses To All Devils And Their Worshippers. Thank You ❤
The name Jesus is the transliteration (the closest corresponding letters of a different alphabet) of the Hebrew term Yehoshua/Jehoshua which is contracted to "Joshua.” All of these names are the same and they all mean “Yahweh saves" (or "Yahweh is salvation").
Christianity had a crucial difference with Marxism. It recognises the right to choose. Marxism says the State can enforce equality on people. It forces good virtuous behaviours down peoples throats!!

Great message.
GLORY BE TO GOD HALELIYA IN JESUS HOLY NAME,MAN OF GOD, BE BLESSED FOR THE GOOD MESSAGE
Great message. I remember when I first got saved, what my pastor whos long since been dead, told me; pay your tithes. Don't rob God. I can say honestly, that God has always taken care of me! Always.
Wonderful walk on the verge on the seam of his waters, whilst the sands have left that impression of his truth on your breath good fisher of man. Thank you.
Such a good sermon.
JESUS CHRIST IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR,……….THE ONLY DOOR TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER,……………AMEN
Absolutely fantastic sermon may we all take heed .
He is no fool
Who gives What he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
Eternity is worth the choice
Choose the narrow path that leads to life eternal
I love hearing the big picture no matter how hard the truth. I don't honour God for who & what He is, and I am ungrateful in most of everything. Amen.
Soli Deo Gloria.
We must not take advantage of our blessings. And I do believe in tithing. That of which I MUST focus on.
God should triple my income. I should become all that I am perfect for, which would make me great. Amen.

I think you’re right! Worded very eloquently!
You are right. I was certainly guilty of that when I was young. A lot of things I thought were needs were not even just wants, they were frivolous indulgences. I admire young people who are wise. For me it took a big chunk of my lifetime to see how selfish and materialistic I have been.
This message is tight slap on the Prosperity Gospel.
Many modern preachers do not preach this kind of message anymore
MIss RC soo much

The issue of tithes...on what grounds to we tithe in the NT though?
Why tithe to preachers who only enrich themselves by it? My offering goes to the congregation, but my resources above my offering go to proclaiming the gospel via mailings, handouts, and charity.

I wonder what Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett and others like them would have to say about a sermon like this and what it’s based on.
But why did god take his soul..i think he is hardworkin men ..
YOU FOOL
What does it profit a man to gain the world and lose your soul
What can you give in exchange for your soul
Basically described what Marxism is.
