An Unusual Robbery

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 3, 2025

Everything belongs to God and we are stewards of what God entrusts to us. God requires we give back to Him a tenth of all our income. God tells us that to fail to pay tithes is to rob Him of what's His. If we do tithe we receive a seventh-fold blessing.

He asked him, “Jim, if you had 100 horses, would you give 10 of them to the Lord?” The farmer answered, “Yes Pastor, I’d give 10 of them to the Lord.” ...read more

You Can’t Cheat The Harvest!

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Oct 8, 2025

There are many laws that govern our world - the law of gravity, the law of motion, the law of cause and effect. But Paul reminds us of another law, the spiritual law of sowing and reaping. It’s a principle that works silently, steadily, and surely. You can’t break it, you can only prove it true.

Contributed by Lester Potts on Nov 3, 2025

The message that God delivered to Israel through Moses in Deuteronomy 28 is just as relevant for America today.

Is Tithing A Mandate Or Human Tradition?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 10, 2025

This message takes an honest and impartial look at what the Bible says about Tithing, what it was, its biblical history, and how and why it was implemented.

Some have ...read more

Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Aug 23, 2020

In the book of Esther, a game of chess is being played, except with cosmic implications. Satan carefully moved Haman into position and gleefully hissed, “Check!” But we will see that God has his own plan and has a queen and a pawn moving in for the kill, or in chess language, “Checkmate!”
