THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE ARE THE GIVERS NOT THE RECEIVERS. 🙏❤

3 great pillars. Integrity, humility and generosity.

Amazing sermon, very convicting !

Amazing sermon on generosity. Broadly Scriptural and down to earth. God bless you more Ptr. Rick.

Being a giver, not a taker has so many proven benefits​-physical, mental, and emotional-​that everyone should make it part of their daily life. The Bible says "There is more happiness in giving than in receiving". Acts 20:35

I just can't get enough of Rick. He is bringing me to the Lord

Also there is inner happiness when giving out of heart

im unemployed and have been for a bit (im living w/ my parents atm) but God has put on my heart to be a blessing to the homeless. one of the things i like to do is to make a mini blessing bag for them. my current summer list is 1. a water bottle, bandages, hygiene products for women and others, sunscreen, etc. even tho i dont have incoming money, i still do have things i can use so im working with that. trusting that the Lord will bring resources to help me make these bags more quicker and more people to help. keep these bags in ur car, labeled and ready to give away. I dont tell them anything about myself other than 'God has blessed me and I would love to bless you' or 'God bless' and such things. basically anything that glorifes God and puts Him in a good light :)

I feel so good when I give, can’t explain why.

Rick Warren Rocks man ……..! Very Plain and simple

This video I will watch over and over. Giving is the cure for materialism and the way to financial peace. The devil tries to make me forget about this when I’m stressed about money. It’s all Gods. Not mine. So why not trust Him and test Him (Malachi 3:10)

Generosity is love in action. Jn 3:16

Powerful truth I learned for my own life . Thank you Jesus for this message.and for your minister of your words.

I’m here in 2020. Idc I’ll still give during tough times. Amen pastor Rick! Great job

Those who are separated from their children by Caesar are poorer than those who have less materially but are not abused in this way.

So much blessed of hearing this.. Thank You God! God bless

A good theme in order to be truly human... "To give and to be generous are attributes of Mine; well is it with him that adorneth himself with My virtues.” ~ Baha'u'llah

Love the fries story starting at 8:00

Have a look at Colgate company, KFC , choloate, how they started n how they start giving out their goodness n what God has done in their lives in honour of God through Jesus Christ

I hate to say it but that is need not enjoyment the word was replaced by enjoyment it was actually need God didn't make things for our enjoyment he gives us what we need

Wonderful message. Really blessed. By the way is it applicable to the non Christians regarding generousity apart from tithing? Is it possible to receive all the promises, if a non Christians follow what the Bible says regarding generousity apart from tithing? To some it might sound silly. Waiting for the reply from Nagaland, India.

Why isn't God generous?

I don't know about that generosity could be a bad and a good thing I don't believe just because you're not generous does it mean you don't love your kids and wife that's not a good State and it actually sometimes of not being generous is actually better than being generous some people take advantage of generous people but just because you're not generous does not mean you don't have any love in your heart for your fellow people

Post more videos!

Here is something practical for those who want a fresh view on giving to the church. #1 - The curse of the tithe is Old Testament and it is highly questionable whether New Testament giving "as you have been prospered" is the same as tithing. #2 - EVEN IF tithing is New Testament, MOST translations before the 1900's don't describe the tithe as an "INCOME" tithe but on something else - so read on… To be perfectly honest, churches can't survive with people throwing a few dollars in the offering plate, so, if you don't want to give a substantial, set amount, then you need to be going to a house church and there is nothing wrong with that (if you can keep it going). But, as far as tithing goes, there is a little known fact that some pastors don't want brought up and it is this, most of the respected translations before 1900 translated Luke 18:12 as "I give tithes of all I POSSESS", not "I give tithes of all I EARN." There is a subtle but important difference here for people struggling with their finances. When someone struggling financially tithes off actual possessions (described in the PowerPoint and calculated in the spreadsheet below), their tithed contribution is often anywhere from a fifth to a quarter of what the 'income' tithe expects. This is an important mission for me because many Christians are dutifully paying their tithes and not being able to pay off their debts - neither are they saving for the future. They need to know that - if they insist on tithing - that the possession tithe is a completely scriptural way to calculate what to give. Another reason this is important to me is that it undercuts those preachers who are greedy and are taking advantage of either soaking the poor in their congregation or so shaming them with this "robbing God" business that they leave the church. It is widely known that many pastors will do this purposefully to get rid of the freeloaders in their congregation. What we need are pastors who, for all of our sakes - and especially the kingdom's, focus more on us being good stewards of what God has given us and less on how much of our income they can rake into 'their' kingdom. For goodness sakes, why would a pastor who is wedded to the 'income' tithe but who claims to support family, ever suggest that women stay home to educate their children under God's authority, when it could cripple his church financially? Have you read the statistics on young adults maintaining their faith when home schooled vs institution schooled? Maybe you should. Please see the files below. Even if you don't believe in tithing, perhaps you can help those who do to be able to better care for their families and pay their bills while still satisfying God's commands.

Thank you for this blessed message. Forget about tithe. I want to sell my house & my family to slavery and give all my money to you. Amen.

Actually I'm not rich I don't have money so that does not make me Rich half of the time I'm struggling just to eat so how can you say I'm rich being spiritually Rich doesn't help me in this world

Gee and here I thought it was John 3:16 was the key.........

Where is tithing taught in the New Testament? There is no scripture whatsoever in the New Testament asking Christians to tithe. When Jesus once referred to the practice, he was talking about Pharisees who were still under the Law of Moses and not about New Testament believers.

Most of the people below here are takers. You watch the video for free... and you spat on the taste... Don't leave a comment

The storehouse was never where they worshipped..it was a separate building where the goods were stored…preach the truth and the power of Gods spirit will show up in big ways so much..so much deception in this teaching…tithes is of the law Mathew 23:23 and we know that all who try and be right by the law are under a curse Galatians 3:10-13

Do you have time to lose weight?

Really? If I do not tithe I am going to miss heaven??? Really Rick???? How is Chrislam working out for ya?

New Testament mentions nothing on Christians having to pay tithes. Jesus and His disciples never paid tithes neither did they instruct anyone to do so. Where is tithing taught in the New Testament? There is no scripture whatsoever in the New Testament asking Christians to tithe. When Jesus once referred to the practice, he was talking about Pharisees who were still under the Law of Moses and not about New Testament believers. Christians ARE NOT under Mosaic law and that includes TITHING So stealing from people through the LIE of Tithing IS NOT OK. Pastors that tell you to TITHE are liars thieves and charlatans If Jesus and the apostles did not TITHE what would make you think we as Christians SHOULD have to TITHE. JESUS never gave a percent. GIVE WHAT YOU WANT JESUS SAID GIVE FREELY NOT UNDER PRESSURE 7 Reasons Christians Are Not Required to Tithe 1. Believers are no longer under the Mosaic covenant (Rom. 6:14-15; 7:5-6; Gal. 3:15-4:7; 2 Cor. 3:4-18). 2. The examples of Abraham and Jacob are not normative patterns. 3. Tithes were given to the Levites and priests, but there are no Levites and priests in the new covenant. 4. The tithe is tied to the land Israel received under the old covenant. 5. When Jesus affirmed the tithe, it was before the dawn of the new covenant. 6. Nowhere is tithing mentioned when commands to give generously are found in the New Testament. 7. Give Generously NOT A PERCENTAGE NOT UNDER PRESSURE. 2 Corinthians 9 7 Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. He who oppresses the poor to make more for himself Or who gives to the rich, will only come to poverty. Do not rob the poor because he is poor, Or crush the afflicted at the gate; For the Lord will plead their case And take the life of those who rob them. However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, “He who practices them shall live by them.” Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us-for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree

So many red flags and holes in this message. One is why have an entire sermon on tithing what is this notion of being more like God? And if I give money that does not gain anyone access into heaven. Only the blood of CHRIST does that.
