❤ Thank you for this teaching of the Word of God. It is very important to know the Word of tithing in our lives. God is very faithful if you acknowledge the Word of God in our lives😊
I do believe if you go to a place where you are feed the word of God you should support them. You teach 10 persent when really it should be at less 35 persent.notice the tithing was food. And when it say God will open the windows he was not talking money God was talking Rain. The people stop bring there tithes because the priest was doing wrong when it came to offering to God. Listen I love this pastor b
@MikeoParedes You are absolutely correct on your points. Why doesn't the Pastor bring this out and give his argument? They won't His arguments have been made and are no different any others. He doesn't bring out the full context and by doing this he embellished his own reasoning
@@mikeeagan1307 why are you so against people bringing their tithes and offering to the House of God. I know my Pastor serves us up some Filet Mignon and all the fixings, when he gets to the pulpit and preaches..not to mention teachings and treaching. He wants all his flock to make it to heaven and see JESUS. we don't want to go and be a bunch of freeloaders, we have nice cool air conditioning. I don't expect our Pastor to go out and get a job and try and pay everything himself. GOD CALLED HIM TO PREACH!!! ANOINTED HIM TO PULL SOULS OUT OF THE PIT OF HELL... We want him to pray, fast,, study,, spend time with JESUS, finding HIS WILL for HIS CHURCH.. May the LORD JESUS CHRIST give you understanding 🙏 4 u.
@viksal7947 Why am I against it??? Why was this lesson taught incorrectly? This Pastor knows he did not read the text fully, he left off many times right where he needed to make his point. Otherwise, he would have had to do a lot of explaining why they didn'tpay tithe with money. You either teach this subject correctly or it's best to leave it alone. Can you give Biblical answers to the questions I asked or are you going to just blow me off like I'm a heretic? And to make this clear, I never said not to give nor did I imply that a Pastor is not worthy of his worth. You, as an assembly, need a building, then it needs to be paid for and maintained by its members... Give by all means, but don't incorrectly teach the Word according to the way it was written.
1 question please. According to the bible there were several problems in the church we know from all the letters written. Even the Lord speaking in revelations to the 7 churches. My questions is why is there no issues with tithing. I guess a second question must be answered too. We are taught how to follow Christ and the disciples live a separate holy life. Why do they not teach tithing? Thank you for any answers. I appreciate it and the teaching here
@@scottwichmann618 so if that your ffthoughts. Here's one for the books.the devil doesn't care how many hours or how many days you go to CHURCH as long as when you leave CHURCH there's NO Change. So if you think the devil cares about money he will give all the riches you need for a price.whats you?
@@scottwichmann618 Thank you. Would you like to explain what Matthew 23 caught your attention and feel that it reminded of me. Just wanted to see how you see Matthew ch 23. Thanks again.Gbyou.
@scottwichman618 Because people are getting tired of being misled. This subject is explainable easily if read all the Scriptures that pertain to Tithe and not be selective in bringing out parts and then embellish on those as this Pastor did with many stories. If we would continue reading the texts, he would not have been able to teach what he did. Teach it correctly
@@mikeeagan1307 Gen. 14:20 Abraham gave tithes of "ALL" . Abraham was before the Law was given to Moses.I am pretty sure bro. Cunningham, touched on that....and Luke 18:12 even the proud Pharisee said, he gave tithes of "ALL" ..Deut 14:28; 2Chron 31:5,6&12; Neh 10:38, 13:12, Mal 3:10. But you know what? 2 Tim chapter 2:14 thru 23-26 and Proverbs 3:30 teaches us not to argue with unbelievers, you don't believe... so guess what? Some of us believe and will KEEP GIVING TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD!! Everything belongs to the LORD. God bless you and hope you can find it in your heart to further the KINGDOM OF GOD.
@@viksal7947 Gen. 14:20, the word; ALL is fully explained in Heb. 7:4..."Abraham gave a tenth of the Spoils"(Spoils of the battle because of Lot) You never read again of Abraham paying a tithe ... "Abraham, Before the Law?" So was Circumcision and that became part of the Law and we all know what happened after Jesus was seen of the Father (Gai.2) Deut. 14:28??? Throw in Lev.27:30-32; Num.18:21-30, and I can put other texts here from these Books, but if you will read the context, it only had to do with Crops and animals of the Land of Israel and nothing to do with Monetary items. God only wanted what could be Eaten. Mal.3? Knowing now that God didnt want Monetary items, Guess What???? Now Mal. makes more sense doesnt it? Are you going to say this is wrong and still stand on ALL Your possessions as how it was brought out Please read and reconsider. STRIVING Really? You need to continue in 2Tim2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, for workman needeth. Not To Be Ashamed. Say to me that I am incorrect about what the tithe was and Offerings according to Gods Law Show me where God changed the Tithe from Food sources to Money if you are going to insist on making Money a payment source of Tithing..... Teach it Correctly. Giving, now there is what its all about. I never said or did I imply not to Give. The teachings of Christ and the Epistles teach Giving. 2 Cor. 8&9 and 1 Cor.16 Bring out Giving in a big way. I Give not because I am Required to, but because I am Inspired to. I don't Give so that God has to Give back so that my Barns are over flowing (that was the Law)
Yes, you are correct, but notice each time they were told to BRING and GIVE you are forgetting the WHAT. What? What were they told to do? I dont read of any Monetary items. Notice that?
Just as the Pastor said about reading for yourself in the Bible of what someone is telling you what Jesus says... But that should go with any scripture that is mentioned. Preachers take their liberty in explanations
He is telling who to bring tithes. Yes old testament. Ne ew testament giving. After Calvary who pay tithes to whom,where and who preach it. Thats it Iam done.I,ll wait to hear from you. Iam bless and I do give because God Already bless me.I dont give to recive I give because God Already bless me. The reason they wont stop because as a business it works.Gbyou
Give The Lord 10%, and watch what happens. Why would you not give to the work of The Lord regularly at the place you regularly go to to worship? Sometimes all these debates are unnecessary. Just give God 10%, even it be spending 10% on food. Read Malachi 3:10.
@@LETSGETUTILIZED316for years I have watched believers pay and I know many and they still live paycheck to paycheck and sometimes go without inorder to pay their Tithe and nothing really has changed. Those that well off in church are still well off and those who aren't still aren't. I know that there are exceptions but if you are going to stand on Mal.3 well it's not happening the way you teach it
@@mikeeagan1307 so you are saying that you audited them giving a full 10%? You knew what they got paid and made sure they gave 10%, even all of them for years? You're really watching all these people's money like that for years?
@@LETSGETUTILIZED316 Are you saying these saints are deceiving God in their tithes? Are you saying the reason that they dont have any room to store their wealth is that they are cheating God? Is this your answer for those that dont have wealth? WOW.
Jesus preached tithing in the New Testament?? Really?? I thought the New Testament didn’t start until jesus died?? According to upci . The thief on the cross didn’t need baptism because it was before the DEATH BURIAL AND RESURRECTION, before the New Testament. Tithing was taught before the law?? By who ?? Show me who taught tithing before the law.
Can someone prove threw the bible that Jacob ever paid tithe and He told God that if you bless me. And Abraham did pay tithes from what he had he tithe on the things that his nephew had lost because they stole from him. And that record is the only one. Show verse.
Genesis 28:22 King James Version 22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
Ask God whether or not he wants you to tithe. Some people dont want to ask Him that because they might not want to hear what He has to say. I started tithing 40 years ago, and Never did I give to get, I did it because I wanted to. I tithed for about a year back then and around that time I wasnt fully surrendered to God and I got mixed up with the wrong person, I let him talk me out of tithing and everything went wrong, and I mean everything. Before I met that person God poured out blessings to me non-stop, but after I got with that persons and stopped tithing everything went wrong. A few years later when I left that person, and I had grounds btw. I moved to another city and started going to a Pentecostal church and having bible studies every Sunday. The subject of tithing came up. One of the persons giving the bible study asked me if I considered tithing, I told him I cant afford to tithe. He said You cant afford not to, right then and there I decided to start tithing again, the very next day I had $200 stolen from me, out of my house. I still gave what I had left. I struggled for awhile, but I said all that to say this is, God still took care of me during that time, and I will continue to pay my tithes. Thank you Lord Jesus.
@@susanspatz9501 you gave your testimony but it doesn't answer the Bible questions. Don't get me wrong when you really think about it He gives and Gives and the more He gives the more I do to show Him my thankfulness. But I understand what your saying and if that makes you feel all is good glory to GOD. There are questions I ask because as of now no one would bring the answer. They say don't be foolish you can't pay bills with veggie . I've heard it all . I can't teach it the same way most pastor teach it, and I can teach it the way I am asking for someone to step up to the plate and show where in the Bible,or who , where after Calvary that preach,taught it. Remember Jesus was under the Law when He spoke on it but after Calvary who taught it. Look His a Warning if you want to get throw out of what they call church. Trust me the best way is to go along with it my thing is this. If you have a church that is a blessing and your family living for GOD. Pay it just think of it as a membership and enjoy the fellowship.with GOD people. Before you get into Mal chapter 3 look at chapter 2 and see who and what was going on. Gbyou.
Where in new testament where someone paid tithes after Christ and who preach it and command it.also what was the tithies. Food not money.but prove it.the teachies giving. 300 time on tithes bible verse and more than than 1000 time on giving. And we all know that was dealing with the people of people of god The old testament. Also show where who ever new testament paid to who and what temple receive it. It has become a business.
Stop being foolish. Go pay your power bill with food. Go pay your car note with food. It is amazing how simple minded some of you people can be. Did they have banks back then? No they did not. Do you own a farm ? And if you do does every one own a farm? The world we live in now does not work like that. In the 1700,s people did not really need money They cut their own trees and built their own log cabins They hunted their food and raised crops. They also made their clothing from deer skins etc. They did not need power companies because they built their own fires. They did not need gas because they rode horses. In native American society money was not present yet your status and riches were determined by your horses. In a society like this of course the tithes and offerings would be food and animals. But even in Pauls day the Romans and Greeks functioned off a money system and because the Romans ruled most of the then known world money would become more popular. God is wise enough to know that. The question is why are nt men
Do you know that they had money back there in time.They were told sell and rebuy again. When I hear I say why don't you just say we need to pay Rent,PGE,preacher,etc Where I come from you go to hell if you don't pay. I been raised in this all my life. UPC. There are many who just go with the program. One of the biggest problems is this do you claim tax return of you tithes. sure you do. Your not tithing you are loaning money.pay tithes put in the offering and forget GIVE IT. But the pastor is Great preacher,teacher one of the most sermon I listen to. He doesn't hate but He does it with Love.God has bless Him.
@@MichaelHines-sl3tx Excuse me, but they had Money. Money is in Genesis, 26 times Exodus, 10 times, Lev. 6 times, Num.5 times... Abraham bought, Sarahs tomb for 400 shekels and God commanded Israel in Ex. 30:13 for every man of 20 and above to pay a Shekel to the Temple. They had money and plenty of it, the LORD didnt want their money to paid to the Levites just Food sources that came from the land of Israel. This means that only those that owned land paid this Tithe, read it it is there, if you were a carpenter, a fisherman, a merchant of wares you didnt pay a tithe according to Gods Law. If you were poor, you were given a portion of the tithe every so many years by the Levites, not in churches today they are expected to pay a tithe. Since this was never brought about what Tithing was in Israel during the time of the Priesthood, Temple, and the LAW you wouldn't know these important facts, which means you cant give an honest study on this subject. If one did you would have a clear understanding of what Tithing was and its meaning for then and even today. Nope all that is taught today is; Pay your tithe with cherry picked scriptures to prove the point. Those scriptures are there, yes indeed, but the context and its full meaning is left out.
@@MichaelHines-sl3tx Its apparent that you are misinformed about the momentary system they had then and you said all that you did just to prove your point. Read the Books (Bible) of Tithing and what was required by God for the children of Israel. And then read Christ teachings and the Epistles and you will see what God wants of His Church today (and you wont find any required amount of Money to be paid). Teach it Correctly
Around 18:35 is clearly spiritual abuse. “When your car breaks down, when your house burns down…” people should have got up and left at that point. The reason the text of the Bible he is referring to isn’t quoted is because it doesn’t support his interpretation. For example in Genesis 14:18-20 Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer. How do we know this? Look up Hebrews 7:4! A one time tithing from the spoils of a slaughter. I guess if you find yourself in that situation you can give someone a tenth? And someone else already pointed out that Jacob didn’t seem to make good on his promise. So much for pre-law tithing. As far as the Law of Moses goes, where is the tithing specifically on wages? Both Dueteronomy and Leviticus mention paying wages the day of work but never an instruction to tithe on said wages. The tithe in those contexts is always the livestock or produce. Why? Because the Levites had no land. And similar to today, wealth was measured in ownership. Owning land and livestock was wealth and those who did supported the non-land owning Levites. We find in the history of the early church there was also no tithing on wages. 1 Tim. 5:18 doesn’t say the laborer deserves 90% of his wages. He deserves all of his wages. We see no practice of monetary tithing in the Bible. It was several centuries before Christianity adapted tithing to support the priests. While building up this pyramid scheme, I wonder if he considered the writings of the Apostle Paul in 1 Cor. 9? If the right to support a preacher leads to financial rewards and not giving tithes leads to car crashes and house fires, why did Paul boast about refusing any due support? And why didn’t Paul call it tithing? And why did Paul think that asking for such support could hinder preaching the gospel? I get that these things might make a few people upset. But you should be more upset that this guy is treating God like a mafia boss and that if you don’t give him money, he is going to maybe make some bad things happen to you. Don’t give your money to this man. Take your family on that vacation. Buy something nice for you or a loved one. Donate to a meaningful charity.
Ah so he ignored Paul’s statement in 1 Cor 9:15-18. Not surprising. Jesus speaking to Jewish people in the second temple period before Christianity started is also not a proof that Christians in the First Century tithed. In fact, if we believe that narrative in Acts 2 they couldn’t have tithed because they sold everything and had all things in common. In fact, in the narrative of Acts there doesn’t seem to be any tithing and when the question comes up as to what Laws the gentiles should follow Tithing isn’t mentioned (Acts 15:19-20).
The Pastor is very misleading in his reading of the Word. Please read for yourself. The "tithing of all' that he brings out is not accurate. God is wanting tithing of their harvest of the land (Crops and Fruits) and of their cattle. God never wanted their Money. If you are going to read it read it correctly and then explain it correctly!!! ... Offerings was never money either in what God was talking about in Mal.3. The Hebrews had only 5 Offerings that they had to observe and none of them had anything to do with Money... so why does this Pastor bring it out this way? When did God change the rules from things that He wanted them to pay were from items they raised from the Land, to Money?
I like Pastor Cunningham but he is off here. This is the traditional teaching of the church unfortunately…sometimes I wish the 501c3 would be taken away from the church. We would see how many Pastors stay in the ministry.
@tobyburke8620 so the "teachings of the Church" permit them to teach the Word incorrectly? ... I'm just saying not debating 🙂 It should not be allowed, and it should be called out
Preach it Brother, I love it. I believe all the Word of God.

In a society like this of course the tithes and offerings would be food and animals. But even in Pauls day the Romans and Greeks functioned off a money system and because the Romans ruled most of the then known world money would become more popular.
God is wise enough to know that. The question is why are nt men
Do you know that they had money back there in time.They were told sell and rebuy again. When I hear I say why don't you just say we need to pay Rent,PGE,preacher,etc
Where I come from you go to hell if you don't pay. I been raised in this all my life. UPC. There are many who just go with the program. One of the biggest problems is this do you claim tax return of you tithes. sure you do. Your not tithing you are loaning money.pay tithes put in the offering and forget GIVE IT. But the pastor is Great preacher,teacher one of the most sermon I listen to. He doesn't hate but He does it with Love.God has bless Him.
@@MichaelHines-sl3tx Excuse me, but they had Money. Money is in Genesis, 26 times Exodus, 10 times, Lev. 6 times, Num.5 times... Abraham bought, Sarahs tomb for 400 shekels and God commanded Israel in Ex. 30:13 for every man of 20 and above to pay a Shekel to the Temple. They had money and plenty of it, the LORD didnt want their money to paid to the Levites just Food sources that came from the land of Israel. This means that only those that owned land paid this Tithe, read it it is there, if you were a carpenter, a fisherman, a merchant of wares you didnt pay a tithe according to Gods Law. If you were poor, you were given a portion of the tithe every so many years by the Levites, not in churches today they are expected to pay a tithe. Since this was never brought about what Tithing was in Israel during the time of the Priesthood, Temple, and the LAW you wouldn't know these important facts, which means you cant give an honest study on this subject. If one did you would have a clear understanding of what Tithing was and its meaning for then and even today. Nope all that is taught today is; Pay your tithe with cherry picked scriptures to prove the point. Those scriptures are there, yes indeed, but the context and its full meaning is left out.
@@MichaelHines-sl3tx Its apparent that you are misinformed about the momentary system they had then and you said all that you did just to prove your point. Read the Books (Bible) of Tithing and what was required by God for the children of Israel. And then read Christ teachings and the Epistles and you will see what God wants of His Church today (and you wont find any required amount of Money to be paid). Teach it Correctly
Around 18:35 is clearly spiritual abuse. “When your car breaks down, when your house burns down…” people should have got up and left at that point.
The reason the text of the Bible he is referring to isn’t quoted is because it doesn’t support his interpretation. For example in Genesis 14:18-20 Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer. How do we know this? Look up Hebrews 7:4!
A one time tithing from the spoils of a slaughter. I guess if you find yourself in that situation you can give someone a tenth?
And someone else already pointed out that Jacob didn’t seem to make good on his promise.
So much for pre-law tithing. As far as the Law of Moses goes, where is the tithing specifically on wages? Both Dueteronomy and Leviticus mention paying wages the day of work but never an instruction to tithe on said wages.
The tithe in those contexts is always the livestock or produce. Why? Because the Levites had no land. And similar to today, wealth was measured in ownership. Owning land and livestock was wealth and those who did supported the non-land owning Levites.
We find in the history of the early church there was also no tithing on wages. 1 Tim. 5:18 doesn’t say the laborer deserves 90% of his wages. He deserves all of his wages.
We see no practice of monetary tithing in the Bible. It was several centuries before Christianity adapted tithing to support the priests.
While building up this pyramid scheme, I wonder if he considered the writings of the Apostle Paul in 1 Cor. 9? If the right to support a preacher leads to financial rewards and not giving tithes leads to car crashes and house fires, why did Paul boast about refusing any due support?
And why didn’t Paul call it tithing?
And why did Paul think that asking for such support could hinder preaching the gospel?
I get that these things might make a few people upset. But you should be more upset that this guy is treating God like a mafia boss and that if you don’t give him money, he is going to maybe make some bad things happen to you.
Don’t give your money to this man. Take your family on that vacation. Buy something nice for you or a loved one. Donate to a meaningful charity.
Ah so he ignored Paul’s statement in 1 Cor 9:15-18. Not surprising.
Jesus speaking to Jewish people in the second temple period before Christianity started is also not a proof that Christians in the First Century tithed. In fact, if we believe that narrative in Acts 2 they couldn’t have tithed because they sold everything and had all things in common.
In fact, in the narrative of Acts there doesn’t seem to be any tithing and when the question comes up as to what Laws the gentiles should follow Tithing isn’t mentioned (Acts 15:19-20).
The Pastor is very misleading in his reading of the Word. Please read for yourself. The "tithing of all' that he brings out is not accurate. God is wanting tithing of their harvest of the land (Crops and Fruits) and of their cattle. God never wanted their Money. If you are going to read it read it correctly and then explain it correctly!!! ... Offerings was never money either in what God was talking about in Mal.3. The Hebrews had only 5 Offerings that they had to observe and none of them had anything to do with Money... so why does this Pastor bring it out this way? When did God change the rules from things that He wanted them to pay were from items they raised from the Land, to Money?
Amen!!!!!!
I like Pastor Cunningham but he is off here. This is the traditional teaching of the church unfortunately…sometimes I wish the 501c3 would be taken away from the church. We would see how many Pastors stay in the ministry.
@tobyburke8620 so the "teachings of the Church" permit them to teach the Word incorrectly? ... I'm just saying not debating 🙂 It should not be allowed, and it should be called out
