Podcasts about Tithing

This week, Pastor Tony talks about how motivations about money must be managed in our inner man covering topics like Stewardship, Budgeting, Saving, Debt and Tithing.

In today's Grateful Rebels message, Pastor Ken Senchal takes us deep into one of the most misunderstood — and most life-changing — principles in Scripture: the biblical tithe. Long before there was a law… long before Israel… long before the church… God was teaching His people to honor Him with their first and best. Abel brought God the firstborn from his flock. Abram brought a tenth to Melchizedek out of honor and gratitude. Jacob declared that everything God gave him, he would return a tenth to the Lord. Tithing wasn't born from rules — it was born from relationship. In this message you'll learn: • Why God uses the tithe to reshape our heart, not deplete our wallet • Why the early church continued the principle of "firstfruits" even after the law • Why Jesus corrected the Pharisees on tithing — not to stop it, but to reset it • How tithing breaks the power of greed, fear, comparison, and self-entitlement • How generosity positions your life under God's blessing • And why the tithe is still divinely blessed today This message isn't about what God wants from you — it's about what God wants for you. Experience the freedom that comes from trusting God first.

This episode features Dr. Samuel Young, former General Superintendent of the Church of the Nazarene, on the fundamental issues of stewardship and faithful giving. Dr. Young asserts that the prime motivation for stewardship is Calvary, arguing that because of God's sacrifice in Jesus Christ, anything He asks is reasonable. He clarifies that the tithe is a method to be given, not a legalism to be taught. The discussion emphasizes that stewardship must have its roots in spiritual commitment and a pure heart. Dr. Young advises that pastors should speak definitely on giving once a year and encourages a generous spirit. Ultimately, faithful stewardship rests on recognizing that God is our Creator and the true owner.   To purchase Hope of All the Earth by David Gilmour, click here.   Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning.

Tithing functions as a spiritual discipline that shapes our priorities, reveals our trust in God, and sustains the local church that nourishes us. Pastor Jason emphasizes that giving our first and best is not a legal requirement but a grace-filled response to God's goodness! By making God first in our finances, we invite order, transformation, and the overflowing blessing God promises in Malachi.

This message invites us to see stewardship in a different light, not just as a financial duty but as a spiritual opportunity. In Luke 12:15, we're reminded that life isn't about possessions but about purpose. The "dinosaur" symbolizes anything we cling to out of fear, pride, or the illusion of control, things we think we need to survive but that actually hold us back from living freely in God's purpose. Everything we have, our money, time, relationships, and abilities, is a gift from God, and we are called to steward it, not hoard it. This sermon challenges us to release what weighs us down and trust that God can do more with our surrender than we could ever do with our grip. It's not just about giving to a church; it's about becoming a church that reflects Jesus, boldly loving, freely giving, and fully trusting the One who gave everything for us.

Tithing reveals our trust and opens the door for God's generous provision. When God called his people to return to Him, He didn't ask for rituals or sacrifice; He asked for trust expressed through the tithe. The tithe is not so much about money as it is about stewardship. Everything we have belongs to God, and we are simply managers of what He's entrusted to us. When we tithe, we declare God (not wealth) is our source. Under the New Covenant, we're not bound by law but empowered by grace to live generously. The tithe is the baseline for biblical generosity, and the fruit of a heart fully surrendered to God.Russell TolentinoSunday, November 16, 2025 Live at 6:00PM

In this enlightening episode, John Paledino takes us on a historical journey, exploring a remarkable experiment in faith and agriculture called "Tithes and Offers." The episode centers on Perry Hayden's 1940s experiment with tithing—a venture so extraordinary that it captured the interest of prominent figures like Henry Ford and had a ripple effect among farmers and businessmen. Paledino artfully unpacks this experiment, which was inspired by Hayden's pastor's sermon on Malachi 3:10, and examines its outcomes and lasting impacts.Throughout the episode, listeners will delve into the intricacies of Perry Hayden's experiment, initially begun with a mere cubic inch of wheat. With a commitment to tithe 10% of his harvest for six years, Hayden witnessed his endeavor grow exponentially, transforming 360 kernels into a stunning 55 billion by the end of the experiment. The account not only illustrates the concept of tithing but also emphasizes the intersection of faith and practical action in realizing divine blessings. Paledino emphasizes quotes and lessons from this narrative, offering listeners a valuable lens through which to view stewardship and faithfulness in their own lives.Key Takeaways:Perry Hayden's unique experiment in tithing started with planting a cubic inch of wheat, which resulted in a massive harvest over six years, multiplying from 360 kernels to 55 billion.The experiment drew the interest of famed industrialist Henry Ford and demonstrated the extraordinary power and potential of tithing.The project expanded significantly, requiring collaboration with hundreds of farmers and businessmen, demonstrating community engagement in faith.Perry Hayden's journey underscores the biblical principle of Malachi 3:10, testing the promise and witnessing the blessings.John Paledino highlights practical and spiritual aspects of tithing, encouraging listeners to discern faith's role in various facets of life.Notable Quotes:"But listen, Perry Hayden heard his pastor preach a message about tithing. And, you know, the scripture Malachi 3:10—bring all the tithe or bring the whole tithe into the storehouse.""He decided to try an experiment to see how much harvest a seed would produce.""Perry Hayden made 288,000 in six years compared to the other farmers who only made an average of 21,000.""The experiment worked. God can bless your harvest when you tithe.""By the sixth year, it took over 2,600 acres to sow 5,000 bushels."Resources:Malachi 3:10 - A critical biblical passage referenced in the discussion.Kenneth Copeland's Podcast - Where John Paledino heard in-depth discussions about the experiment.Perry Hayden's Tithing Experim

Pastor Scotty continues his series, First Things First, with a message called, "The Test of Tithing."

This conversation peels back the glossy veneer on modern church culture and asks what Jesus actually had in mind. We talk megachurch money, the “business model” of religion, and whether tithing-as-law was ever the point. Amy unpacks the influencer pastor era, the pressure-cooker system that breeds burnout, and why Acts-style fellowship (shared tables, rotating teachers, real accountability) still works. We compare Sunday stage shows to small, Spirit-led communities and ask if the apostles would even recognize our churches. From Laodicea warnings to Watchman Nee–style generosity, we press into discipleship over attendance.

The leader in your life is to be honored, not worshiped. Pastor Victoria Powell takes us on a deep and dynamic exploration of spiritual leadership, drawing from the biblical story of Melchizedek and his encounter with Abram. As Pastor Victoria unpacks the symbolism and significance of Melchizedek—a priest and king who serves as a "type and shadow" of Christ—she challenges listeners to reflect on the roles of modern spiritual leaders, the importance of submitting to divine authority, and what it truly means to honor and help build within a faith community.Support the showText encounteratl to 94000 to stay up-to-date on all things Encounter.Worship with EncounterSundays at 9 AM ET | Wednesdays at 7:30 PM ETSupport EncounterText egive to 77977 Connect with EncounterFacebook | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | WebsiteConnect with Dr. GabeInstagram | YouTube | Website

You Sure About That? Pt. 1 In this message, Pastor Jason Daughdrill from Gateway Church (TN) dives deep into one of the most misunderstood topics in Christianity — tithing. Jesus said, “You cannot serve God and Mammon” (Matthew 6:24). This message isn't about money — it's about masters.Discover how tithing tears down the idol of Mammon, transforms your heart, and realigns your trust in Heaven's economy.

In this powerful kickoff to our brand new series Kingdom Impact, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a raw, personal, and deeply challenging message about surrender, sacrifice, and putting God first. From a teenage dream of playing in the Arizona All-Star Game to choosing a missions trip instead, Pastor Travis shares how giving up what mattered most opened the door to a purpose he never imagined—ultimately becoming the chaplain for the Phoenix Suns for over two decades. But this message isn't just about his story—it's about your story. It's about that thing in your life that's fighting for first place. It's about burying the seed of selfish ambition so God can raise a harvest of Kingdom impact. Rooted in Luke 9:23–24 and John 12:24, “Give It UP” challenges us to examine what's really #1 in our lives. Are we holding back something God is asking us to surrender? Are we making excuses that sound valid but keep us from obeying His voice? This sermon will stir your soul to stop negotiating with God and start honoring Him with your firstfruits—your time, your talents, your treasure, your heart. Because when we give God the first and best, He blesses the rest. This isn't just about money—it's about mastery. Who's really Lord of your life? Join us as we begin a journey toward radical obedience, sacrificial generosity, and eternal significance. Because what you give up in faith, God uses to impact the Kingdom.

“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven's Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!”- ‭‭Malachi‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Tithing is a subject that makes some people uncomfortable. Understandably so- there are a lot of people who have done a poor job explaining what tithing is and the way it can change your life. However, Pastor Mark tackles the subject in a way that is digestible, while also detailing the importance of living a sacrificial life. "The Office"**********

In this episode of Relish, hosts Roe Miller and Don Patterson tackle practical questions about prayer, money, and Scripture that many believers face. A young questioner, Rowan, prompts a wide-ranging discussion about prayer's role in major life decisions like choosing a college and seeking God's calling, and how prayer brings peace and clarity during uncertain seasons. The conversation moves into ethics and stewardship: should Mennonites and advocates of nonviolence invest in defense companies? Don urges listeners to “put your money where your mouth is,” reflecting on how investments reveal the priorities of our hearts. They then unpack tithe and giving—what 10% means, the difference between tithes, gifts, and offerings, and the danger of turning generosity into legalism. Scripture (including Malachi 3 and Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6) is used to highlight generosity as a joyful, heart-driven response rather than a checkbox. Don also addresses theological questions about what we've truly earned versus what God has given, emphasizing that all good gifts come from God and we remain indebted to grace. The hosts consider whether it's possible to out-give God and reject keeping a ledger mentality in favor of relationship-based giving. Finally, the episode raises concerns about Bible literacy and access to Scripture: they warn against letting the Bible sit on a shelf or only relying on apps, and encourage embedding Scripture into daily life so it can serve as a lamp in dark or difficult times. Practical references include traditional Sunday school resources and the reality that digital access can fail, underscoring the value of internalized Scripture. Throughout, Roe and Don offer pastoral, down-to-earth guidance—balancing doctrine, personal experience, and Scripture—and invite listeners to send questions, share the podcast, and join the conversation as they seek to grow deeper in faith and faithful living.

Theme: Obedience, Trust, and Consecration — Lessons from Jericho and Ai Pastor Matthew continued his teaching series in the Book of Joshua, focusing on chapters 6 and 7—the fall of Jericho and the sin of Achan. The message contrasts the victory that comes through obedience with the defeat that follows disobedience. The Battle of Jericho — Obedience Brings Victory Text: Joshua 6 God commanded Joshua and the Israelites to march around Jericho once a day for six days and seven times on the seventh day, with seven priests blowing seven rams' horns before the Ark of the Covenant. Though God could have destroyed Jericho instantly, He required faithful obedience—teaching Israel to trust His word above their understanding. The people were instructed to remain completely silent until the final trumpet blast—a picture of disciplined obedience and dependence on God's timing. On the seventh day, after the final trumpet blast, the people shouted, and the walls of Jericho collapsed—a miraculous victory marking the Israelites' first conquest in the Promised Land. Key Lesson: Faith requires obedience even when instructions make no sense. The Israelites' victory came not by strength but by submission to God's word. The Principle of First fruits — The Tithe of Jericho Jericho represented the first fruits of the Promised Land; all spoils from the city were devoted to God as holy and untouchable. Joshua reminded the people that everything belongs to God, and the first portion of increase is His (Proverbs 3:9–10). This first conquest was to be fully dedicated to the Lord, symbolizing that everything that follows is blessed when the first portion is consecrated. God instructed that silver, gold, and bronze be placed in His treasury—no individual was to take from it. Application: The first belongs to God—whether it's time, talent, or treasure. Giving back to Him is not about pressure, but about trust and honor. The Fall at Ai — Disobedience Brings Defeat Text: Joshua 7 A man named Achan from the tribe of Judah secretly took a Babylonian garment, silver, and gold from Jericho, violating God's command. Because of this hidden sin, Israel was defeated at Ai, losing 36 men. Joshua fell before God in despair, questioning why the defeat happened, but God told him plainly: “Get up! Israel has sinned... They have stolen, deceived, and put it among their own stuff.” The nation's defeat was not due to lack of skill but due to sin in the camp. Until the accursed thing was removed, they could not stand before their enemies. Key Principle: Even private disobedience can bring corporate consequence. God's presence and power dwell with purity and obedience. The Judgment of Achan Achan confessed that he coveted and stole the forbidden items. He and his household were brought to the Valley of Achor (“trouble”) and were executed—serving as a solemn reminder that sin contaminates the whole body. The judgment restored Israel's standing before God and removed the curse from the camp. Spiritual Lesson: We must remove the “accursed things”—anything that dishonors God or competes with Him for first place in our lives. The Call to Generosity and Trust Pastor Matthew used the story of Achan to teach about honoring God with our resources: Tithing and giving predate the Law—first modeled by Abraham and Melchizedek (Genesis 14:18–20). Malachi 3:8–10 calls believers to “bring all the tithes into the storehouse” and test God's promise to open the windows of heaven. Luke 11:42 shows Jesus affirmed tithing while calling believers to practice it with justice and love. Hebrews 7:5–9 demonstrates that giving honors God across generations, as Levi was blessed through Abraham's obedience. He emphasized that giving is not about compulsion, but about faith and partnership with God's purpose. “You'll trust Him with your eternal salvation—why not trust Him with your finances?” Illustration: He shared a testimony of a man who began tithing in hardship and later prospered abundantly, learning firsthand that God honors faithfulness. Spiritual and National Lessons The defeat at Ai mirrors spiritual decline in modern times—a warning for America: great power and knowledge cannot replace obedience to God. Pastor urged believers to sanctify themselves and remove what is cursed—anything that keeps them from God's favor. He reminded that sin, disobedience, or misplaced loyalty (even cultural compromise) brings spiritual defeat, but repentance restores God's presence. Closing Application Check with God in everything—even after victory. Success can easily lead to complacency. Consecrate your life—make sure God is first in your time, finances, priorities, and heart. Trust God's Word, not your feelings. Faith grows when obedience is consistent. Remember that obedience brings blessing, while disobedience brings loss and distance from God. Core Takeaway Faith obeys when it doesn't understand. Victory requires consecration. Disobedience endangers everyone. God's power flows through purity, obedience, and trust.

If God tells me to tithe and He'll bless me, why am I still broke? Is the Holy Spirit really in the Old Testament?

When we try to motivate people to do something, we can either use a carrot or a stick. In other words, we can motivate a person with a bribe or by frightening them. Some people think using fear or bribery motivates people to tithe, but God does not raise us to tithe with these techniques. God motivates His people entirely differently. He places His Holy Spirit inside us, and He changes our desires from the inside. And He becomes our Heavenly Father who commits Himself to our development. So our attitudes, how we treat each other, and even how we use our finances are changed because God is in the process of training us. He has a completely different perspective.  To receive a free copy of Dr. Steve Schell's newest book Study Verse by Verse: Revelation, email us at info@lifelessonspublishing.com and ask for your copy at no charge!  Also check out our website at lifelessonspublishing.com for additional resources for pastors and leaders.
