Join us for this week's message from Pastor Marcus Mecum as we discover what it means to trust God as our source and live a life marked by generosity. Tithing is more than an act or a requirement; it's a response to who God is and what He has already done. When we recognize Him as our source, generosity becomes more than something we do. It becomes a way we live. We don't give to earn God's favor. We give because we've already received it. And when we put God's Kingdom in mind, our generosity can make an eternal impact... one seed, one life, one testimony at a time.

What does the Bible actually teach about tithing? In this message, we challenge some of the most common misconceptions about giving and trace the tithe from Abraham to the teachings of Jesus. Tithing isn't about legalism, pressure, or trying to buy God's blessing. It's about worship, trust, and what our giving reveals about our hearts. The deeper question is simple: How can grace produce less generosity than law? ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@NewTribeChurch

What does it really mean to put God first with your money? The Bible teaches that how we handle our finances reveals what we value and trust. In this message, you'll discover what the Bible says about tithing, why giving God the first matters, and how biblical principles can bring order to your finances and your life. Tithing isn't simply about giving money—it's about putting God first and allowing Him to shape your heart, priorities, and decisions. In this sermon at Impact Church, guest speaker Pastor Tauren Wells, pastor of Church of Whitestone in Austin, Texas, teaches how God's principles, patterns, and promises reveal a different way to approach our money and our lives. In this sermon, you'll learn: What the Bible really teaches about tithing Why putting God first changes the way you handle money Why the “first” matters when it comes to biblical giving How tithing moves beyond a transaction and transforms your heart What Scripture teaches about the firstborn, firstfruits, and first tenth How biblical principles can help bring order to your finances and priorities God doesn't want to simply be somewhere on your priority list—He wants to be first. When your life is reordered around Him, your money becomes more than something you manage. It becomes an act of worship. The question isn't only what you're willing to give, but who sits at the center of everything you have.

Tithing is not limited to just money. In Exodus, God fills Bezalel with skill and creativity for the building of the tabernacle. These gifts were given to him to be used in the construction of God's dwelling place with His people. Paul brings this even a step further by saying that whatever we do we are to do it with everything we have because we aren't working for just people, but we are actually working for God. This week expands the tithe beyond just finances into time, gifting, leadership, hospitality, and service. Trust that Tithes says, “My abilities are not mine to hoard but to invest for the kingdom.”

How much should a Christian actually give? It is one of the most quietly awkward questions in Christian life, and Dr. Dennis Episcopo answers it with a framework that will keep you thinking all week. There are four levels of giving in the Bible. Most Christians never make it past level one.This sermon continues an Alliance Church teaching series on money and generosity. Dr. Episcopo opens with a story from Game 7 of the 1991 World Series, when Twins manager Tom Kelly walked out to the mound and left a tired veteran in with the words, Jack, it is just a game. Then he makes the turn. What we do at church is not a game. The stakes are eternal. Made even more real by the fact that his own mother went to be with the Lord this week at 97 years old. Everything gets real at a funeral. And that changes how a person handles everything, including their wallet.Then he anchors the message in 2 Corinthians 5:16 through 20. Christians are ambassadors of reconciliation. Nothing in the life of a Christian is superficial. Everything is strategic. How you parent, how you work, how you spend your free time, and yes, how you handle your money.Then Dr. Episcopo walks through the four levels.One. Duty giving. 2 Corinthians 9:7. This is the plate passing, guilt driven, I have to put something in reflex. It is the lowest floor. It is not what God wants, because he loves a cheerful giver, not a reluctant one.Two. Thanksgiving giving. Psalm 107 and 116. Giving because you are stunned by what God has done in your life. You saw the cross. You saw the answered prayer. You cannot help but respond.Three. Tithing. Percentage giving. Ten percent off the gross, not the net. Not a law, but a biblical pattern that levels the field between the wealthy and the working class. Leviticus 27. And notably, Jesus himself endorsed it in Luke 11 when he told the Pharisees to keep tithing without neglecting justice and the love of God.Four. Sacrificial giving. Luke 21, the widow's two coins. He says this rarely happens, but when the Holy Spirit taps a believer's shoulder and says, give it all, and they obey, the whole room feels it. This is the highest level.Then Dr. Episcopo lands the whole sermon in one sentence. There are people in the world who think, I own my money. And there are people who understand, I own nothing. I am a manager. God owns it all. Which one are you?If you have ever felt guilty, confused, or numb about giving, this teaching is one of the clearest starting points you will find.

TITHING

Arena Church IlkestonSunday the 20th of September, 2026

In Part Two of our history of tithing, we examine how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has defined tithing over time –and whether the modern expectation to pay 10% of income actually matches the historical revelation given to Joseph Smith. The 1838 revelation on tithing instructed members to give a tenth of their “surplus” property and subsequently a tenth of their “interest” annually. But what did those words mean in the 19th century? Did “interest” mean all income, or did it refer to increase or profit after expenses were paid? We also examine the question of who gets to determine what constitutes “surplus” or “interest,” how tithing affects low-income members differently from wealthy members, and how the modern interpretation developed –particularly through the First Presidency's 1970 letter and subsequent Church teachings.From there, we explore the four specific purposes for which tithing was originally given, including building temples, laying the foundation of Zion, supporting the priesthood, and other charitable or religious purposes. We compare those purposes with how the Church uses tithing today and ask whether the original reasons for the law have actually been fulfilled. The discussion also looks at teachings from Brigham Young Junior, Lorenzo Snow, David A. Bendar, Russell M. Nelson, Elder Holland, Elder Packer, Elder Becerra, and others, including the increasingly strict expectation that members pay tithing even when doing so creates financial hardship or debt. This episodes asks a broader question about the relationship between scripture, revelation, historical context, and modern institutional policy: If the original revelation from the Lord says “surplus” and “interest,” when –and why –did that become a requirement to pay 10% of one's entire income to the Church? LDS Discussions examines the historical and doctrinal claims of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints using primary sources, historical documents, and critical analysis.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

Pastor Daniel Bridgman and Pastor Dan Burrell meet in the studio for round two of the discussion surrounding tithing and its Biblical roots. 

Tithing is a sticky topic often dodged by Christians, but it's important to discuss it from a Biblical angle since that is where the idea of tithing originated. Pastor Daniel Bridgman and Pastor Dan Burrell do exactly that as they tackle the topic of tithing in part one of this mini-series.

In this sermon, Pastor Jake teaches on the biblical wisdom of tithing from Proverbs 3:9–10: “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops…” Rather than asking, “Am I required to tithe?” this message reframes the question: “What is the wisest thing I can do with the money God has entrusted to me?”Rooted in Proverbs 3:1–10, this sermon explores how honoring God with the first and best of our increase is an act of trust, worship, obedience, and discipleship. Tithing is not merely a financial practice—it is a spiritual formation practice that trains our hearts to depend on God as Creator, Sustainer, and Provider.Key Scriptures:Proverbs 3:1–10 — Trusting the Lord, honoring Him with wealth, and receiving His provisionProverbs 1:7 — The fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdomProverbs 24:16 — The righteous may fall, but they rise againGenesis 1:1 — The meaning of “first” and the principle of firstfruitsDeuteronomy 28:8 — The Lord's blessing on barns and work2 Chronicles 31:5–10 — Israel bringing tithes and firstfruits to the house of the LordMalachi 3:10 — Bringing the whole tithe into the storehouse2 Corinthians 9:6 — Sowing sparingly and reaping sparingly; sowing generously and reaping generouslyPhilippians 4:17–19 — Giving as a fragrant offering and God supplying every needIn this message:Tithing is presented as wise living, not merely religious obligationProverbs 3:5–6 shows that financial obedience begins with trustFirstfruits giving teaches us to give God the first and best, not leftoversSacrificial generosity is worshipGod's commands are expressions of His love and faithfulnessThe local church is the biblical context for consistent, worshipful givingGenerosity forms us into people who trust God more deeplyThis sermon is a call to close the discipleship gap through obedience: to begin or renew the lifelong pattern of returning the first portion of our income to the Lord in faith, gratitude, and worship.

Pastor Cham Chilombo shares on the supernatural power of Tithing.

Solomon watched the wind and noticed something: it doesn't wander. It has courses. It has circuits. It returns again to its own paths. If natural wind has a course, then the wind of God has a course too. It's not blowing at random. It's mapping something. There are four points on this map, and they build on each other. One leads to the next. Mission. Assignment. Prosperity. Stewardship. M-A-P-S. The wind maps our lives. In this message we walk the whole map: 1. There is a Mission in the Wind (Acts 1:8) Mission is the "what." The wide, unchanging target God is moving all of history toward. A mission you cannot see clearly is a mission you will eventually abandon. 2. There is an Assignment in the Wind (Acts 13:2-4) Your assignment is how you personally fulfill the mission. It has a horizon. It has edges. And that's not a limitation, that's mercy. Stop comparing assignments and ask the Holy Spirit, "Where do you want me?" 3. There is Prosperity in the Wind (Deuteronomy 8:18) Prosperity is not the goal; prosperity is the tool. Money and resources chase vision. Nobody chases a hole. People chase a horizon. 4. There is Stewardship in the Wind (Luke 16:10, 12) The wind looks for a steward before it blows fresh provision. The tithe did not start with the Law and it did not end at the cross. Grace never lowered the bar on generosity. It removed the ceiling. Owners hoard. Stewards release. Mission. Assignment. Prosperity. Stewardship. The wind maps our lives. The wind is with us.

Divine wealth is achieved through prompt obedience. Reassuring believers that seeds sown in faith never diminish, this message uses Abraham's readiness to sacrifice Isaac to demonstrate how total submission unlocks God's sworn, non-diminishing covenant blessings.

What if financial transformation isn't primarily about how much money we have, but about how we think about what God has placed in our hands?In Week 7 of 50 Days of Transformation, we explore Financial Health: How to Think About Money God's Way.Through Jesus' surprising parable of the shrewd manager in Luke 16, we discover that money was never meant to master us—it's a tool we can steward with wisdom, generosity and purpose.We'll explore how:Everything ultimately belongs to GodMoney reveals what we love and trustMoney is a tool for God's purposesWe can invest what we have in things that last for eternityWe are called to faithfully steward what God places in our handsJesus reminds us: “You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.” — Luke 16:13 (NLT)Financial freedom begins when our thinking changes. Instead of loving money and using people, Jesus invites us to love people and use money—to bless others, build relationships and invest in what lasts.Sermon notes: https://www.michurch.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/50-Days-of-Transformation-Week-7-My-Financial-Life-Notes.pdfTo support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/giveMelbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

Leviticus 27:30-34, Matthew 23:23 The Rev. Dan Marrota

Why do so many preachers talk about "backsliding" Christians? A lot of my friends embrace God's grace but hesitate when it comes to freedom from tithing. What are your thoughts? How do you meditate on God's law the way that Psalm 1 encourages? And what about when you get busy?

Have you ever felt distant from God and wondered why? Or questioned whether your faith and your finances are actually connected? Malachi 3 speaks directly to both of those questions, and the answers are more personal than you might expect. God opens this passage with one of the most important statements in all of Scripture: I am the Lord, I do not change. That truth, known as God's immutability, means He has never evolved, never adapted, and never had a moment of surprise. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If you feel far from God right now, this passage makes something clear: He has not moved. But we do move. Israel had returned to the land God promised, enjoying His blessings, but they had not returned to God Himself. They were going through the motions of worship without genuine devotion. God's response was a direct and gracious invitation: return to Me, and I will return to you. When Israel asked how they were supposed to return, God pointed to something specific: their giving. He accused them of robbing Him in tithes and offerings. Not because He needed their money, but because their withholding revealed a deeper problem: a lack of trust. The tithe, one tenth of what we receive, is the biblical standard and the first portion that belongs to God. An offering is anything given beyond that. Israel had fallen short in both. God then does something remarkable. He gives His people permission to test Him. In an area where testing God is normally forbidden, He issues a direct challenge: bring the full tithe, and watch what I do. He promises to open the windows of heaven and pour out blessing until it overflows. That phrase connects directly to Genesis 7 and the flood. The last time God opened those windows, the earth was covered. Now He is saying: I have more than you can handle. Trust Me and see. This is not a prosperity gospel message. God is not promising wealth in exchange for a tithe. He is promising faithfulness. He promises to rebuke the devourer, to protect what you have, and to make His blessing visible in your life in ways you cannot manufacture on your own. Tithing is both a thermometer and a thermostat for your faith. It shows you where you are, and it shapes where you are going. Topics covered include: what the Bible says about feeling distant from God, the meaning of God's immutability, how to return to God, what tithing and offerings mean in the Bible, whether tithing applies under grace, what the windows of heaven mean in Malachi 3, how faith and finances are connected, and what it looks like to trust God with your money. If you have been drifting, this message is an invitation to come back. God has not moved. His mercies are new every morning. Return to Him, and He will return to you.

In Episode 14 of Christians Follow Torah Too, Part 7 of our Deuteronomy series, we continue our verse-by-verse study through Deuteronomy 29–32 and examine what God's covenant, commandments, and Torah teach us about faithful living. What does it mean to truly love God with all your heart? Does obedience to God's commandments still matter for followers of Jesus? And how does Deuteronomy help us understand covenant faithfulness, holiness, generosity, justice, and discipleship? In this Bible study, we explore the biblical principles shared by Christians and Torah-observant believers as we look closely at Deuteronomy and compare its teachings with the words of Yeshua and the rest of Scripture.  

Send us Fan MailYour life can be full of good things and still feel out of order. We're talking about one change that acts like a master switch: putting God first. Not as a vague intention, but as the real first priority that becomes the filter for your time, money, attention, relationships, and goals. Using Matthew 6:33 as the anchor, we explore why God isn't another item on the list. He's the foundation that makes the list make sense.We walk through what “God first” looks like in the places that matter most. In marriage, it turns winning into covenant love and replaces the pressure to be “made happy” with Christlike service and loyalty through hard seasons. In family life, it reframes parenting as stewardship and challenges the idea that the best gift to kids is more stuff, more activities, or more status. Instead, we model faith, love, and ordered priorities they can actually copy.We also get practical about fitness and finances. Health becomes stewardship instead of vanity, so exercise and nutrition support spiritual strength and real-world service. Money becomes a tool instead of a master, and we ask the heart-level question that exposes our true priorities. Tithing shows up as a lived declaration that God comes before income, and abundance is tied to freedom to do good.If you've been craving clarity, this is your reset.

In “Preach What You Practice,” Pastor Robert Madu reminds us that giving isn't a down payment on God's blessing—it's our response to it. Tithing is a practice that trains our trust: God is first, God is our source, and what we have belongs to Him. Thank you for partnering with Social Dallas!

Pastor Rodney reminded us that because we bear God's image, everything we have ultimately belongs to Him—our time, talents, relationships, influence, finances, and our very lives. Tithing is more than giving 10%; it's an act of worship, obedience, and trust that moves our mindset from “MINE” to “THE LORD'S,” declaring that God is our source and comes first in every area of our lives.

In Episode 81 of the LDS Discussions series, we take a deep dive into the history of Mormon tithing –where the concept comes from, how it appears in the Bible and Book of Mormon, how Joseph Smith and the early Latter-day Saints understood it, and how the practice evolved into the modern LDS Church's system of financial requirements. We begin with the biblical origins of tithing, examining passages from the Old and New Testament and asking whether the biblical practice of tithing actually resembles the transactional model taught by the modern Church. We then turn to the Book of Mormon and explore what it says about priestcraft, wealth, and religious leaders receiving financial support. From there, we trace the history of tithing in early Mormonism, including Joseph Smith's financial requests, the 1838 tithing revelation, how early Saints actually contributed to the Church, and the significant differences between the original language surrounding consecration and the modern requirement to pay ten percent of one's income. We also examine the controversial history surrounding Green Flake and the claim that an enslaved man was donated as tithing, the financial relationship between Brigham Young and the Church, and what the surviving historical records can –and cannot –tell us about the practice of tithing and labor tithes in early Utah. Finally, we look at the development of modern LDS tithing requirements, including when tithing became a requirement for temple recommends, the distinction between tithing and fast offerings, teachings about self-reliance, changes to tithing slips, and the Church's long-standing lack of financial transparency to its membership. If you value episodes like this one, we ask that you show your support by donating to Mormon Stories Podcast! ___________________Show NotesYouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

In Episode 81 of the LDS Discussions series, we take a deep dive into the history of Mormon tithing –where the concept comes from, how it appears in the Bible and Book of Mormon, how Joseph Smith and the early Latter-day Saints understood it, and how the practice evolved into the modern LDS Church's system of financial requirements. We begin with the biblical origins of tithing, examining passages from the Old and New Testament and asking whether the biblical practice of tithing actually resembles the transactional model taught by the modern Church. We then turn to the Book of Mormon and explore what it says about priestcraft, wealth, and religious leaders receiving financial support. From there, we trace the history of tithing in early Mormonism, including Joseph Smith's financial requests, the 1838 tithing revelation, how early Saints actually contributed to the Church, and the significant differences between the original language surrounding consecration and the modern requirement to pay ten percent of one's income. We also examine the controversial history surrounding Green Flake and the claim that an enslaved man was donated as tithing, the financial relationship between Brigham Young and the Church, and what the surviving historical records can –and cannot –tell us about the practice of tithing and labor tithes in early Utah. Finally, we look at the development of modern LDS tithing requirements, including when tithing became a requirement for temple recommends, the distinction between tithing and fast offerings, teachings about self-reliance, changes to tithing slips, and the Church's long-standing lack of financial transparency to its membership. If you value episodes like this one, we ask that you show your support by donating to Mormon Stories Podcast! Show NotesYouTubeMormon Stories Thanks Our Generous Donors!Help us continue to deliver quality content by becoming a donor today:One-time or recurring donation through DonorboxSupport us on PatreonPayPalVenmoOur Platforms:YouTubePatreonSpotifyApple PodcastsContact us:MormonStories@gmail.comPO Box 171085, Salt Lake City, UT 84117Social Media:Insta: @mormstoriesTikTok: @mormonstoriespodcastJoin the Discord

By Kirk Kester - Tithing is an intensely personal matter between you and God, as you'll see in this message. It's a faithful way of honoring God for all He does for you. In giving back to God a 10th, we enter a special relationship with our Creator. We dedicate ourselves to serving Him and financially supporting

What about fasting? Why did people fast and is it required for believers today? I forgave a debt but still hope it's paid in the future. Is that okay? Are we robbing God if we don't tithe 10%? What does New Testament giving look like?
