My beloved Pastor you are in heaven now ❤️ and I am still blessed by your WORD BASED preaching ✝️🙏

Wow, this is preached in America and no one is listening in government... Incredible. The Word of the Lord is a light my path of my feet 100%....Jesus is High Priest, Prophet and King... Lord God

So glad he covered this subject!

I never thought that tithe the principle of the New testament. But this teaching has given a substance that it is the expectation of God for us to tithe and it has given me solid ground for answering any argument that arises from my inside or outside! God be you abundantly! The word of God cleanses...and more I have learned to give also a ministry... Yes I have eaten the revelation of God from this man. When it comes to tithes, I humbly learn... for I had a view of MYSELF...and God bless him where he is, delivered me the challenge of the word...I surrender to the truth...

Straight from the written word!! Love it

Funny how people are willing to pay for Netflix, internet, gym etcetera, but when it comes to the upkeep of the church, they have all kinds of excuses. If you are a Christian, pay your dues. God first. Preachers and churches will be held accountable by God, pay what you owe.

Sound doctine,100% true.

I always understood this parable to be about something more valuable than money.

So important

The 10 percent belongs to God what we give over that is our offerings we do not even own that 10 percent it belongs to God period nuff said 👍😀🇱🇷

The Book of Malachi was talking to the (priests), not the common people... If we go by the Book of Acts, Ananias and Sophira could have given whatever they wanted to give, but instead they lied and said they gave all... They didn't have to do that...

That weld is Sweet!

Under grace, we have a much better covenant. So after researching this and finding plenty of Scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments, I've learned that the principle of giving of the tithe was well established long before the Law of Moses. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob tithed. We can't nitpick the Scriptures to rob God. Tithing is solid and well-established. In the NT, Jesus does not tell His disciples not to tithe, nor does He abolish it at any time. On the contrary, He taught to "give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." (Luke 20:25). Yes, the Levitical and temple sacrificial systems are gone. Under the New Covenant, we as God's people are being built up into the temple. So to give to the kingdom of Heaven one should give to the church, to missions, and to solid Bible-teaching ministries because it helps pay for the practical costs of sharing the Gospel. This is the kind of giving Paul was always raising funds for, missionary journeys and contributions between the churches to help those in need, in addition to helping widows and orphans. Many ministries today do considerable humanitarian aid which is vital if one is to reach the unreached with the Gospel, especially in the world's darkest places. It's disgraceful how so many Western believers will gladly give what they don't have to prosperity preachers and false prophets if there's a promise of prosperity for them and a big ROI, yet when it comes to paying the most basic 10% to true ministries, they make all sorts of absurd excuses. We are called to be content and if we adjust our spending, we can all definitely afford to tithe. The Lord sees the heart and knows a cheerful giver.

RC Sproul in my experience usually nails it. This is one of those rare occasions I belive he's got it all wrong. We give cheerfully, not on a mandatory basis. I have never come across any place in the New Testament with a prescription for mandatory giving. If anyone knows of such a passage please educate me.

Sproul appears to present a false teaching and legalism.(edit: Because of your comments below which I am very appreciative of, I listened to the talk again and I misheard what RC was saying. I was wrong. RC actually acknowledged my point which continues after this edit. I'm not deleting any of my comment. I'm inserting my correction. Thank you again for your corrective comments) The OT tithe was the inheritance for the tribe of Levi.... for the nation of Israel .... under a covenant with the nation of Israel. The NT model of giving is to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and give accordingly which should actually be more than 10%. The new model is giving out of love instead of law.

i have to start tithing

👍👍👍😊

2005 is Not 6 years ago? And... Pretty certain This is about spreading the Gospel, not money 😇

I was surprised he started passionately affirming tithing haha... I still need to study the issue

"...Hands of Jesus... Kingdom of God" ? Please explain.

God does NOT need your money. Give of YOURSELF by loving others. Giving money CAN be helpful, but I know a lot of broken people, and the LAST thing they need is a handout. They need someone to listen to them and someone who CARES.

Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

So are we required to be wealthy and successful

Expected of Jesus's to have chosen Matthew as a Taxman for Romans, if tidbits in Financial Engineering not if had Iscariot written on Philanthropy likely handled by so erudite Reviews lest stingy as profligate Moneybags will receive Rewards from the Lord's.

That who doesn’t tithe it’s maybe the people who reads the bible and understand the real meaning of it.

R.C. Sproul is dead wrong on Biblical OT Tithing being applicable to the NT Christians and calling those who don't pay tithes ROBBERS. If robbers then they cannot enter heaven if they die and thus it implies that paying tithes is a necessary means to salvation (salvation by tithes). Thus, RCS elevated this issue on tithes to a doctrine and not a minor issue. If he is proven wrong then he is teaching heresy. The Council of Jerusalem settled this issue once and for all. They ruled that Gentile Converts to Christianity need not be circumcised as a sign that they shall obey all the law of Moses which includes tithing a major requirement of the Mosaic Law. They decided that they should not BURDEN the Gentiles with following the Mosaic Law which they admitted they were not able to bear or fulfill. The death of Christ fulfilled the Mosaic Law rendering it obsolete by his death and resurrection from the dead. He nailed the law on the cross. Tithes are meant to support the priesthood which administers animal sacrifices for the remission of sin. But with the finished work of Christ the Levitical priesthood and animal sacrifices were abolished to make way for the priesthood and sanctification of all Christian believers. Moreover, The Jewish Temple was destroyed by the Roman Invaders and all the Levitical priests were killed by General Titus and his soldiers. Thus, there is no justification to revive tithing as pastors are not the descendant of Levi nor are they Levitical priests dedicated to temple service. Christians need not be like dogs who eat their own vomit. Tithing is the tax system that supports the Levites which had no inheritance because they were dedicated to the service of the Lord (temple servants, priest and public administrator). Tithing in the NT takes the form of taxes paid to the government which is an institution established by God according to Paul, very much like the Levites. Biblical/OT Tithes are never money but rather the produce of the land and trees and increase in livestock and herd, a work performed by God. Tithes are not money nor are they the product of man's labor. Further, not all animals are classified as tithes like fishes - they are not acceptable tithes. Tithes are mandatory just like taxes are mandatory obligation of citizens with a source of income. Not to pay it is a crime. Obviously, free will giving by Christians is not mandatory. Christ's salvation through the shedding of his blood, death and salvation is a FREE GIFT of God with NO STRINGS ATTACHED. In like manner, Christian giving to support the Church is a FREE WILL GIVING. The Church cannot demand from their believers payment for the free gift of salvation earned by Christ for us through his sacrifice, suffering, the shedding of his blood and death on the cross. Otherwise it is hypocrisy to preach the free gift of salvation if there are strings attached to it just like advertising the sales of cars without down payment but with monthly amortization payment. Unlike holiness and the fruits of the Holy Spirit and works of mercy the payment of tithes is not listed as one of the fruits or effects of salvation. Only the landowners and the owners of herds and livestock pay the biblical tithes. Carpenters and fishermen do not. In the NT, the apostles laid a heavy burden on the rich to support the poor. They did not levy any burden to the poor who need the money given by believers. The Levites and the poor are the recipients of tithes and not the payors. In the same manner not all Christian believers can freely give money to the church. Nor are they obligated by God. The jobless, the children, those in debt, the homeless, and the poor cannot be expected and required to give but in fact they are the legitimate recipients of the believers giving just like the poor in Jerusalem who received the voluntary contributions collected by Paul from the Gentile believers. There are no biblical verses that show the Apostles commanded Jewish or Non-Jewish Believers to pay tithes to the Church or that any believers paid tithes. It's always free giving resulting from the grace provided by God. Although NT Believers are not required to pay the biblical tithes nor any man-made tithes, giving support to Church's work is mandated but always through free will giving: proportionate to the believer's means, his willingness and his situation. The rich believers have the heavy burden in supporting the Church and its poor. More is given, more is required,

Not my favorite Sproul sermon to be honest. He advocates stewardship capitalism without defining capitalism in the first place. Scripture supports private property which is one feature of capitalism but it’’s equally or moreso a feature of Catholic distributism. He should’ve considered the matter of usury, which the OT Jews were forbidden to charge one another but allowed to use as an ethnic weapon against Gentiles. Then there’s covetous consumerism & advertising, financial speculation & gambling, failure to pay a family wage, etc.

what constitutes "giving to God" according to the Gospel of Jesus? this topic always exposes christian leaders as business men - "peddlers of the Gospel" - rather than servants or "slaves to all". the level of expectation put upon others by christian leaders makes them sound like propagators of an industry. if christian leaders want to invigorate their ministries they should get a job and quit being a burden to the church of God and an hindrance to those outside. let every man consider in his own heart what he should lay aside . . . so that "no" collection be taken when I come. please repent, those who would set upon others their own lack of faith toward the Father.
