Thank you for clarity. In 2009, after losing 1/3 of my retirement, with great deliberation, I cashed out and gave the rest. My reasoning was this: Jesus is my security. Although I went through a time of struggle, I have seen God provide for me, a 62 year old single lady homemaker at the time. I wasn't trying to buy a blessing, but I saw the Gospel as the best investment. Yes, I've been criticized and at times I wondered if I missed God. I loved how this pastor made clear, that the grace for giving is the same grace for living. It's so wonderful to be able to help a family in financial hardship or send medical supplies to other countries that are in great need. Now at 76 years of age, I don't have that same opportunity, but knowing that God supplies my every need (even Balsam Hill Christmas trees from my children) is a joy indeed. The grace for giving is the same as grace for living. What a wonderful and profound testament to Jesus.
Being disabled, I struggle with this often, many times I find are difficult to buy my medicine, or to have $$$ for the offering plate! The guilt I have felt about this is huge! Thank you for this message! ❤️✝✝✝❤️
God doesn't need your money...He wants your heart n obedience and in your obedience to His will for your life will come His blessings for you.. Quit tithing and go to church to praise and worship Christ in truth n Spirit....if anyone comes to you with the phony lie about tithing move on... Jesus Christ told Peter to feed the sheep not for the sheep to feed the shepherds God bless you take care of your needs first and foremost
@@mirrorimageministries8475 yeah . . imagined for a moment that GOD who. Created all the everything, including gold , "needing" your 2 mites to get things done or it don't get done. It is about your heart and submission to HIM.
@@mirrorimageministries8475 read my post again, bro. No where there does it say to tithe. I made a comparison there between our limited financial resources and GOD. Also I said the same as you. . . HE wants our heart and life. Not money unless money is our god.
@@mikedickison5003 please forgive me... the Holy Spirit led me to teachings of it being a false doctrine. The 12 tribes were commanded by God to "tithe" from their crops and livestock to the Levites because they weren't given a land INHERITANCE tk sustain themselves because they were singled out by God to perform the priestly duties on behalf of the other tribes..
@@mirrorimageministries8475 for whatever my forgiveness affords you have it. HE gave and gives me a thousand measures of forgiveness for just yesterday and today. I need constant reminder of HIS great love..
I am amazed at how many people do not get this. So many people want to mix grace and the law and it's always detrimental to their relationship with God and people alike. This hybrid gospel has made the Church weak and powerless. I just purchased Andrew's book "God Without Religion" a few months ago, and am very glad to hear someone preaching grace as it truly is.
Every time I have mixed the law and grace, I have lived fearful and defeated, concerned about my relationship with God and then add in my battle with ocd and repetitive looping thoughts and you have a weak fearful Christian.
@@ugwui certainly not, we are called to be holy as the Lord is holy. But grace is what empowers us live a life that resists sin! When we understand the sacrifice that Jesus made in giving His life for us, it does not lead us to live a life of sin but thank Him for His love grace and mercy. When we miss the mark as Christians and we will, we thank Him for His grace because we are righteous by the blood of Christ not by our own “goodness” because we can never be good enough, it’s only by the sacrifice of our PERFECT SAVIOUR that we can be made right and reconciled to God
During this Pandemic season God is teaching me things I never learned in the traditional church building. I stumbled upon this message today and am again so thankful 🙏 to God for yet another blessing, this ministry.
I've struggled to give to the church for many years, especially well off ones I've been too,yet have always been enthusiastic about mission,both at home and worldwide. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer is a saying equally true of the church as it is of the world. There are many millions of Christians in this world who have next to no resources both physically and spiritually so need our help. Oh to be guided by compassion for the poor, needy, oppressed, orphans and widows,these are the things that get me excited about giving and burn with a vision to that end
This is the best interpretations I've ever hear, I do thank u very much for your words. I will continue listen to your messages, God bless you for.this Truth,
I’m 26 years old and this is the first time I listen to a Pastor that soundly and truthfully proclaims the truth about tithe and offerings. My God this is amazing! This is a prevalent thing in churches EVERYWHERE. I’ve been to them. Even Christians don’t want to accept God’s FULLNESS of his FREEDOM. El Hanora~ Awesome God
If there was a new testament law about tithing, it would say "It all belongs to the Lord, 100% is God's, so give what He tells you to give without expecting any return, and then thank Him for everything!"
There is a scripture that says if you give to the poor, you lend to God. There is always a return on your giving. Paul taught it in 2 Corinthians. He likened it to a farmer. There is no harvest without seed sowing. It's the notion that somehow it's wrong to expect from God, is the reason people won't trust God for their material needs. Aren't both extreme sides wrong? Whatever is not of faith is sin. So isn't no expectation sin?
Your words are AWESOME. I heard from the sweet Lord when I met him that tithing is nothing, it's just a nice place to start. Lately my little church submitted itself to be "mentored" by a large church with an incredibly hard-nosed, cram-it-down-your-throat teaching on tithing. For me it has spoiled the beautiful delicate precious presence of God in the place. They now have everyone repeated a long-winded confession after a stern message about tithing. No tithe, no ticket into the blessing, the inside of the things of God, and don't expect anything if you are robbing God ala Malachi and be faithful in the little things so you can be trusted with much, which now is defined as more money, etc. Lately they are laying into the cursed message. I actually felt cursed because I don't come into agreement with it. I am shaking myself loose. I am a giver and I love giving. Thank you for helping me get free.
Yes an old covenant principle masquerading itself as a new covenant one. I mean if they want to be scriptural about it then they need to give 30% not 10% because money was useless to the Levitical priesthood for they took their income from the surplus offerings the people brought which was the fat of the land and the best of their livestock. The reason someone had to give 30% was for an extra 20% handling tax, this was because as I had said before money was useless to them, the Levites were a tribe set aside for the service and upkeep of the temple. If modern day preachers still want to collect tithes and again be scriptural about it, receive them once a year instead of someone's weekly or monthly pay-cheque and collect 30% One day the church will wake up to the new covenant!
Dr. Farley, your words on this topic are a rare, refreshing drop of water in a parched earth. With regard to tithing, and giving, and prosperity, Malachi 3:8-12 is not the full counsel of God. It is an excerpt, quoted to the church for centuries (believe it or not), which is a misrepresentation of God's counsel regarding the topic of giving. Here are a few points. -- Who did God appoint to receive tithes? God said, "And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth [the tithe] in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation (Numbers 18:21). In this scripture, God established who receives the tithe (the Levites), and why they received it (they received no inheritance, and they served in the temple). This assignment is exclusive to Levites. A pastor cannot assume this assignment, he has never been scripturally assigned by God to collect tithes, he is not a Levite. In that same sense, only a Levite, never a pastor, could ever conduct an animal sacrifice or even work in a Jewish temple. The church has not replaced the Jewish temple, and pastors have not replaced Levites. -- People are blessed when they give, as you have affirmed, not because of Malachi 3, which is based on the Law of Moses, an Old Testament law that has been replaced by Grace under Christ, at the cross. They are blessed because Jesus said, "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you" (Luke 6:38). It is this principle of giving and receiving at work, when we give and are blessed. Not the expired law of tithing, which was required of the Jews (never Gentiles), and could only be received by Levite priests because they received no inheritance and were set apart to work fully in the Jewish temple. -- There is much more to this, such as Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek, Jacob's promise to tithe, the history of when and why the New Testament church tithes (there is actually a date!), and the biblical clarity behind this history. To be clear, every pastor has a right to collect offerings in support of the ministry; I fully agree with supporting the church financially. But our giving must be godly. It is wrong to require people to tithe, contrary to the scriptures, then say that we live according to the scriptures. If you're interested in learning more, I have researched and written about this in "Tither, You Are Free!" Blessings to you and your ministry!
Thank you Sir! I really enjoyed your teachings on the subject of tithing, I receive the freedom that Christ has allowed me to enjoy, I no longer pay tithes, and thank God for freedom from manipulation and deception!
I've seen people loose houses and not be able to pay their bills over tithing bondage. That's not God will. I'm so happy to give now where He shows me to give and how much He shows me to give. It's so Freeing. I give cheerfully now and have Peace.
I lost everything from tithing and always loathed writing out that 10% check. I was definitely not a cheerful giver. I was very blessed before being under the tithing curse, giving wherever and whenever God showed me. Then joined a tithing church and lost everything and got into debt on top of it. I'm now back to cheerfully giving, and God has been so faithful.
@@t.p.p2883 PS 147:19-20 "He showed His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His judgments unto Israel. He has not dealt so with any other nation: and as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise you the LORD. " The Law was not given to the Gentiles and therefore no Tithe.
This is a brilliant message regarding the topic. Preachers of today instill loads of fear regarding tithing and talk gloom and doom if one does not tithe. Thank you for sharing this truth🙏🙏🙏
My 2cents, if I’m going to give, it’s not because I want something back. If the lord thinks I should be bless with something just because I gave then that’s great, he is a perfect judge and loving Father but I will not give just because I get double or three times back. I’m blessed every day with a new day and with my good health. The lord has bless me already so I should help my fellow brothers and sisters that need it.
I give cheerfully when I am taught how much Abba our Father loves us. It's within the peace & rest of His love, that I give because He gave heaven best, Himself ( Jesus).
May this preaching infiltrate my homeland, Belize, In Jesus Name. AMEN... Break every chain...In Jesus Name.... ("Not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit," says the Lord Almighty)...Zechariah 4:6 NIV Thank You for sharing God's Truth... Glory to God!!! HoSanna in the Highest!!! God Bless You... Continue to Represent our Lord God, our Saviour Jesus and His Holy Spirit Exceedingly well... Because he Absolutely is (Our shield, and our exceeding great reward.) Genesis 15:1 KJV "For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice..." Hosea 6:6 ESV ".. Where there is a change of the priesthood, there must also be a change of the law." Hebrews 7:12 NIV "By calling this covenant " new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear."Hebrews 8:13 NIV " I will give them an undivided heart, and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh..." Ezekiel 11:19 NIV "Come to me , all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 12: 28-30 NIV Amen.
Right we give where needed. That we won't be in loss. Jesus will supple us as we need , not because we give, but because he has told us that he knows our needs before we ask him or before we give anything. We will not be curse for not giving, because we cannot buy our salvation for it has been paid for by Christ. We are not under the curse.
i like what you said pastor Farley about the tithing. you said Jesus thinks tithing is a light matter according to the law. but justice, mercy, faithfulness are heavier matters. great stuff.
This is the issue I've been struggling with since childhood... Coming from Africa, it's rare you see men of God preaching about tithing in this way except Dr Abel Damina who is strongly teaching about the works of grace and not the law Thanks sir
I believe It's all about trusting God. When you have faith in God, you trust Him with everything, including money so when you trust Him, you give. You give freely and cheerfully because you're happy to give because you trust Him that He is your Provider. That money is not even yours to begin with, we are stuarts not owners so we manage His money (His blessing, because all blessings comes from Him) where He wants us to sow. So it's not about MONEY, it's about TRUST! God doesn't need our money, He owns EVERYTHING! The tithing (10% or whatever....) is for you, to show to yourself that you trust God, not only with your words but with your acts as well. God bless :)
I love this.. sometimes people don't give not because they can't BUT because they are bad stewards... They spend in themselves but are cheap when it comes to giving God and because truly their ♥ is not in the kingdom of God.
The tithing is a poisonous preaching from crooked pastors who are wolves in sheeps clothing. I am glad this above person preaches the truth. Tithes was never money,, offerings are used to support the pastor, tithes are dead,
One of the worst "pastors" on the subject of tithing is Creflo Dollar. In one of his videos, he talks about how he wishes he could SHOOT and KILL non-tithers with Uzi machine guns! According to reports, this man is worth up to US$50 million. How much of that comes from the "tithes" sent to his ministry? Have a look at this clip of Creflo at work: ua-cam.com/video/zuX6Jo9VDEA/v-deo.html He tells you straight, that you you will NOT receive financial blessings from the Lord "not if you ain't sent no momey to Him". In other words, you have to give God your money FIRST, then God will bless you financially. What a despicable lie, what a twisting of scripture. It is sad.#
actually offerings are not mandated to support pastors. if you really want to understand the SCRIPTURAL teaching on tithes, offerings, alms, then download the free pdf by googlling "The Tithe That Binds" by Rory Moore
This sermon was so freeing and inspiring that I made a vid about the same topic.Andrew shd keep preaching the truth down there at texas...we watching yáll online n luvn it
Amen Amen! I have just recently felt compelled to return to worshiping God and Christ. I have been looking for a place to worship and a few years back my wife mentioned this congregation and how she was interested in checking it out. This video is the first one of yours I've watched besides the intro video on your website. I am very impressed with what you taught here. I am still looking into this church but let me say that this was very compelling for me. I like that you used scripture in a simple Straightforward way without bending things. I also like that your prayer was offered to God in the name of His Holy Son Jesus. Thank you for making this channel and posting your message and service. It is a good way for me to see what to expect when I do decide to attend your worship service. Thank you and may Almighty God bless and keep you and your ministry and flock in the name of Christ Jesus amen.
God is everything good, if it feels wrong it likely is so leave and research. I have found affirmation to why I left a worship service yesterday, not giving up finding more ways to worship just trusting Jesus. He is tithed to me with Holy Spirit I will follow Him through the Holy Spirit guidance too 🙏 praise the Lord for the protection of the Trinity in us
For the most part I have given my tithes all the time and after hearing this message along with further research I have come to this conclusion. I have seen my cup overflow with blessings because God knows my heart when I give. The true faithfulness of His promises is evident because even if someone's motivation isn't to teach the truth about tithing, He is still providing in abundance to His children that give in true faith in Him. This only opens my eyes to how important it is for us believers to spread the truth as best as we understand so that we can direct as many unbelievers as possible to Jesus with the will of God.
Thank you somuch..not many preachers will preach this..the most of them preach what they can gain. So sad the body of Christ has to suffer because of false teaching may God bless you my brother
Also Giving doesn't have to be $$$ either, it's whatever your brother(s) or sister(s) need.. If you have 2 jackets, give one to your brother as purposes in your heart. If you see the need, feed the need cause you love and honor Christ; that's what I learned from being fooled for years of tithing and got burned bad...thank u for not misalign in the bible.
pleasing God= Faith in God [Heb 11:6 KJV] 6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Wow, thank you! Had just gotten a sermon of tithing 10 percent gross based on old testament...felt really bad because i have been a single mom for several years and have struggled over this!
Thank you so much Pastor. Your teachings really open a clear path for my new relation with God . It’s really amazing to discover the truth about the Gospel. Amen.
The pastor said that Christ was the “end of the law,” but Jesus said of Himself: ““Do not presume that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.” Matthew 5:17
I asked the Lord about this Tithing one time, He said to me “ A workman is worthy of his hire”. I know give as the Lord tells me. It is not always to the Church I go to.
Thank you for this. I have been conflicted and asking God to guide me, but cannot believe that if I don't give enough I am cursed or robbing God of being allowed to bless me, as I am only giving for a reward from God and if not He can't help me because I have made it impossible for Him to help me. Amen.
See also Luke 16 and the Parable of the Unrighteous Steward. There is a lot going on in this parable but one point is at 16:10 where Jesus says "he that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much...." All along Jesus has been talking about money. Money is "the least". If you don't trust God with the least (money), you won't trust (have faith) with something bigger. It is a matter of saying thank you Father that I have anything at all...thank you for what you have given me...You are my Source and I trust you to provide for me so I am cheerfully giving this amount. Thank you Andrew for this sermon! I always appreciate your calm presentation.
sparkybalboaswing amen brother, I have tested God and found him to be true. Jesus said just believe over and over again. Yet we still refuse to believe him
Agree that 10% is not required...... The Lord is Lord of 100% of what He gives us. We are his stewards to give to whom and to where He tells us to do so.
OMG! An honest preacher? Or maybe you are a teacher and a very good one at that. Okay I admit. I knew the truth about tithing for many years now but I listened to you anyway. I think you nailed this one. May God bless you. You just earned yourself one more subscriber.
Dear brother for the first time I came across your video on tongues and I was really blessed and this is your second video I am listening and this is also according to the truth of the word of God. May God use you with His might in these last days.
Thank you for clarity. In 2009, after losing 1/3 of my retirement, with great deliberation, I cashed out and gave the rest. My reasoning was this: Jesus is my security.

" The Law was not given to the Gentiles and therefore no Tithe.
@@t.p.p2883 you did not lose everything but am Glad you Don't tithe.
Hallelujah thank you Jesus I feel so free Hallelujah thank you Jesus for my brother in Christ
Love this teaching so much!! Thank you. God bless you and your ministry.
This is a brilliant message regarding the topic. Preachers of today instill loads of fear regarding tithing and talk gloom and doom if one does not tithe. Thank you for sharing this truth🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for this bloke Lord, thank you for freeing me up from confusion and please Lord help me give what I want but to who you want me to. Amen.
Thank you my brother in Christ for your teaching on this topic. Hopefully people's eyes will be opened to the truth!!!
Such a sound message. It clears so many foggy areas about tithe and giving. Simple. Concise. Explicitly stated. More grace to you.
My brother, the simplicity and conciseness is huge.
Thank you Andrew for preaching the truth! God Bless you Brother ...
My 2cents, if I’m going to give, it’s not because I want something back. If the lord thinks I should be bless with something just because I gave then that’s great, he is a perfect judge and loving Father but I will not give just because I get double or three times back. I’m blessed every day with a new day and with my good health. The lord has bless me already so I should help my fellow brothers and sisters that need it.
True
You are a blessing a thousand is waiting for,be blessed and may the Lord keep on guiding you.
I give cheerfully when I am taught how much Abba our Father loves us. It's within the peace & rest of His love, that I give because He gave heaven best, Himself ( Jesus).
May this preaching infiltrate my homeland, Belize, In Jesus Name. AMEN...
Break every chain...In Jesus Name....

Amen.
Awesome truthful man of God! Thank you Jesus for these kind of Pastors.
Right we give where needed. That we won't be in loss. Jesus will supple us as we need , not because we give, but because he has told us that he knows our needs before we ask him or before we give anything. We will not be curse for not giving, because we cannot buy our salvation for it has been paid for by Christ. We are not under the curse.
i like what you said pastor Farley about the tithing. you said Jesus thinks tithing is a light matter according to the law. but justice, mercy, faithfulness are heavier matters. great stuff.
Its from the word in the Bible not from Pastor Farley....

God bless you, a wonderful sermon on giving. Tithing is of the law, plain and simple.
This is the issue I've been struggling with since childhood... Coming from Africa, it's rare you see men of God preaching about tithing in this way except Dr Abel Damina who is strongly teaching about the works of grace and not the law
Thanks sir
I believe It's all about trusting God. When you have faith in God, you trust Him with everything, including money so when you trust Him, you give. You give freely and cheerfully because you're happy to give because you trust Him that He is your Provider. That money is not even yours to begin with, we are stuarts not owners so we manage His money (His blessing, because all blessings comes from Him) where He wants us to sow. So it's not about MONEY, it's about TRUST! God doesn't need our money, He owns EVERYTHING! The tithing (10% or whatever....) is for you, to show to yourself that you trust God, not only with your words but with your acts as well. God bless :)
I love this.. sometimes people don't give not because they can't BUT because they are bad stewards... They spend in themselves but are cheap when it comes to giving God and because truly their ♥ is not in the kingdom of God.
Love this teaching. I have recommended it to many. God bless you guys.
Indeed it is
I enjoy your sermons on tithing you make more it clear than any other pastor I have heard on this subject
Keep preaching the good news!
Amen
Amen🙏 great teaching about tithing it's all about you and God and your heart🙏🙏
The tithing is a poisonous preaching from crooked pastors who are wolves in sheeps clothing.
I am glad this above person preaches the truth.
Tithes was never money,,
offerings are used to support the pastor,
tithes are dead,
Joe Nemesis AMEN!!
One of the worst "pastors" on the subject of tithing is Creflo Dollar. In one of his videos, he talks about how he wishes he could SHOOT and KILL non-tithers with Uzi machine guns! According to reports, this man is worth up to US$50 million. How much of that comes from the "tithes" sent to his ministry? Have a look at this clip of Creflo at work:
ua-cam.com/video/zuX6Jo9VDEA/v-deo.html
He tells you straight, that you you will NOT receive financial blessings from the Lord "not if you ain't sent no momey to Him". In other words, you have to give God your money FIRST, then God will bless you financially. What a despicable lie, what a twisting of scripture. It is sad.#
actually offerings are not mandated to support pastors. if you really want to understand the SCRIPTURAL teaching on tithes, offerings, alms, then download the free pdf by googlling "The Tithe That Binds" by Rory Moore
I dont think all the preachers do on to rob peaple. It's just that thats the way they were taught
This sermon was so freeing and inspiring that I made a vid about the same topic.Andrew shd keep preaching the truth down there at texas...we watching yáll online n luvn it
Send me the video
Amen Amen! I have just recently felt compelled to return to worshiping God and Christ. I have been looking for a place to worship and a few years back my wife mentioned this congregation and how she was interested in checking it out. This video is the first one of yours I've watched besides the intro video on your website. I am very impressed with what you taught here. I am still looking into this church but let me say that this was very compelling for me. I like that you used scripture in a simple Straightforward way without bending things. I also like that your prayer was offered to God in the name of His Holy Son Jesus. Thank you for making this channel and posting your message and service. It is a good way for me to see what to expect when I do decide to attend your worship service. Thank you and may Almighty God bless and keep you and your ministry and flock in the name of Christ Jesus amen.
This was a great illumination of the truth of the Bible vs. the misleading thoughts words and actions of man.
God is everything good, if it feels wrong it likely is so leave and research. I have found affirmation to why I left a worship service yesterday, not giving up finding more ways to worship just trusting Jesus. He is tithed to me with Holy Spirit I will follow Him through the Holy Spirit guidance too 🙏 praise the Lord for the protection of the Trinity in us
Most comprehensive teaching on this subject......💯💯💯👏👏
God said present our bodies, He desires our heart and life. Period! Much 💜 💕 believer's of the God of Heaven.
Thank you for teaching us the truth of Jesus and his grace! May God richly bless your heart.
The church should rely on faith instead like Jesus taught us. Thank you pastor!
thank you for this video
i believe that i am under grace
Refreshing message and manner of delivery. Thank you. I preach the same message and have for years.
For the most part I have given my tithes all the time and after hearing this message along with further research I have come to this conclusion. I have seen my cup overflow with blessings because God knows my heart when I give. The true faithfulness of His promises is evident because even if someone's motivation isn't to teach the truth about tithing, He is still providing in abundance to His children that give in true faith in Him. This only opens my eyes to how important it is for us believers to spread the truth as best as we understand so that we can direct as many unbelievers as possible to Jesus with the will of God.
Thank you somuch..not many preachers will preach this..the most of them preach what they can gain. So sad the body of Christ has to suffer because of false teaching may God bless you my brother
Excellent teaching.God bless you.
wow its good to know someone who have thesame revelation of us😀😀😀amen same about tithing is from old testament😀😀😀
Best I ever heard. Thank you Dr Andrew. Christ Lover. Amen.
Also Giving doesn't have to be $$$ either, it's whatever your brother(s) or sister(s) need.. If you have 2 jackets, give one to your brother as purposes in your heart. If you see the need, feed the need cause you love and honor Christ; that's what I learned from being fooled for years of tithing and got burned bad...thank u for not misalign in the bible.
Omg, this make so much since I never heard about this in my life. Thank you so so much.
Thank you God bless you Amen
Thanks God bless you for this post 🙏🙏🙏
pleasing God= Faith in God
[Heb 11:6 KJV] 6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
God bless you Pastor for the clarification about the truth of tithing and thank you
Wow, thank you! Had just gotten a sermon of tithing 10 percent gross based on old testament...felt really bad because i have been a single mom for several years and have struggled over this!
I love you Pastor Andrew!
thishas been needed to be preached for years.thank you brother
Thank you so much Pastor. Your teachings really open a clear path for my new relation with God . It’s really amazing to discover the truth about the Gospel. Amen.
I love the fact that this confirms what I've studied. Thx 👍
The pastor said that Christ was the “end of the law,” but Jesus said of Himself: ““Do not presume that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.” Matthew 5:17
And let’s start talking about giving to the poor and needy as much as we give to the church!!
Thank you for this word🙏🏽I needed this.
Thank you for this teaching
I asked the Lord about this Tithing one time, He said to me “ A workman is worthy of his hire”. I know give as the Lord tells me. It is not always to the Church I go to.
Good stuff. Thank you for explaining the truth about tithing so simplistically. Now, maybe, those who are blind will see the truth about tithing.
Thanks For that revelation we are open and received Grace giving and about tithing.
Thank you very much, this was very insightful.
A very revealing message\truth & thank you - many can be liberated
Thank you for this. I have been conflicted and asking God to guide me, but cannot believe that if I don't give enough I am cursed or robbing God of being allowed to bless me, as I am only giving for a reward from God and if not He can't help me because I have made it impossible for Him to help me. Amen.
Excellent, and sound doctrine on tithing. Thank you, MoG!
This is breath from heaven and am glad that l found this site.
Thank you pastor Farley for this sound teaching
Thank you for being clear to the word of God
be a cheerful giver or not, it's up to you, no pressure
Thank u pastor for teaching this i have been tithing by not understanding that I did not have to tithe for a blessing.
Thank you Pastor for your wonderful message, now it's clear for me about tithing, I'm really blessed your message, I'm from Philippines. God bless 🙏
As christians we must study to show ourself approved unto God.....rightly dividing the word of truth.
Finally a pastor that's not afraid of preaching the truth.
But is he working for his living like Jesus (carpenter) and Apostle Paul (tentmaker) did?
He's lazy like all pastors.
Agreed. Thank you. Free will giving offering
See also Luke 16 and the Parable of the Unrighteous Steward. There is a lot going on in this parable but one point is at 16:10 where Jesus says "he that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much...." All along Jesus has been talking about money. Money is "the least". If you don't trust God with the least (money), you won't trust (have faith) with something bigger. It is a matter of saying thank you Father that I have anything at all...thank you for what you have given me...You are my Source and I trust you to provide for me so I am cheerfully giving this amount. Thank you Andrew for this sermon! I always appreciate your calm presentation.
sparkybalboaswing amen brother, I have tested God and found him to be true. Jesus said just believe over and over again. Yet we still refuse to believe him
Finally! A minister who is telling the biblical truth about tithing. I am free now! Amen!
Thank you. God bless you
Agree that 10% is not required...... The Lord is Lord of 100% of what He gives us. We are his stewards to give to whom and to where He tells us to do so.
Nailed it. Great sermon spoken in truth.
OMG! An honest preacher? Or maybe you are a teacher and a very good one at that. Okay I admit. I knew the truth about tithing for many years now but I listened to you anyway. I think you nailed this one. May God bless you. You just earned yourself one more subscriber.
Thank you for sharing the truth ......! Wow I pray God blessings upon you & your church for boldly telling the truth. Much love katreena
Thank you, I feel free. I am a Cheerful giver, and now I know the truth.
Thank you for this!!!!
My Pastor said if I don’t give 10% of my income to church I’m cursed so I left the church.
Hebrews 7 talking about Abraham's act of giving a tenth. Abraham is way before the law yet he demonstrated this as a way to honour the high priest.
Dear brother for the first time I came across your video on tongues and I was really blessed and this is your second video I am listening and this is also according to the truth of the word of God. May God use you with His might in these last days.
so liberating ,thank you in 2020.
