Great Message
Deeeeeeeeep Revelation
Brought me to tears…God is our Redeemer despite what our past looks like. I was reminded of where I came from and it made me so incredibly grateful to be a child of God. Thank you!
Heard this when pastor visited our church amd on line as well. Now i heard it again. I can never overdose myself with His Word. There is always a new revelation and therefore my faith is buolt up. Thank you God for your Word! I love it!
I'm really really blessed by your teachings P.Robert, I'm grateful for you , you're a gift for the body of Christ , may God bless you and keep you in Jesus name
Awesome Message Pastor!
Wow! The Lord used Robert to deliver a wonderful message there. Thank you Adonai!
I felt like this message was planned and intended because maybe they’re not receiving enough money. Or they just want more. I’m not against giving at all. You should give what you feel God wants you to give. Not once in the Bible when it speaks of tithing does it talk about giving “money” to the church. Giving is great, but not when it’s given out of pressure. I think pastor Craig brought this guy in to talk about this intentionally. In our Stillwater location the offering was taken after the message whereas it is usually taken before the message. Kind of a coincidence today. I hope I’m wrong about what I thought today. The church has used tithing of money for years to try and pressure people to give money. I don’t think God is pleased with that.
This is a fine preach. Love it.
Wow, incredible. Best sermon I've ever heard on tithing. Every Christian needs to hear this sermon!
This “pastor” has a new Range Rover Velar, a new Tesla, and a new mansion in Colleyville (a rich neighborhood in Dallas). They are using the Lord’s name in vain by making money in “JESUS” name.
2 Peter 2:3 “In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction will not be delayed”
I’ve followed his teaching for so many years and tithed for many years. I can tell you one thing, God has been faithful
Amen
Is the second part of this mini series on YouTube as well?
that's a lie,,…….jesus did not say to tithe and neither did he tithe now did any of the apostles……..tithing was never money but always food to eat only…tithing was only done by farmers and herdsman and never any other people………there were three tithes that total 23.5%…not 10%……..jesus said we can have ALL things freely and tithing means God owes you something……..the NT in timothy states that we are to give after all our needs taken care of and then according to our ability as we desire from the heart….not some predetermined number or %……..galatians 3;10 says if you keep even one law you must keep all the others and if not then your CURSED not blessed……go figure that one …….
Amen Pastor Robert, thank you such good practical teaching on tithing, it as sure enriched my life and been a huge blessing to me. Thank you!
The bible doesn't present the option of monetizing the tithe. Tithing during the time of Jesus could only be received as produce or livestock from within the Holy Land. It is this that Jesus acknowledged when he specifically cited "mint, dill, and cumin" in Mathew 23:23. Nowhere in the bible were tithe items ever amended nor was there any instruction for anyone to tithe after Jesus' resurrection. Also, there were 3 tithes that collectively accounted for about 23%. None of them were received as money although there's ample evidence money was readily available during those times. This "Principle of the First" isn't based on sound biblical doctrine.
I am really blessed by this. Thank you P. Robert. God bless you
This is a godly man. I'm a staunch Seventh Day Adventist and I haven't heard a sermon like this since I first listened to it a few years ago.
