The Truth About Tithing Part 3

Summary

Elder Keith Elm concludes a three-part series on tithing, emphasizing that giving to the church is a privilege and responsibility but not a strict legal obligation. He stresses that pastors should not be hired for salary but supported as the church is able, and giving should be motivated by love and mercy rather than obligation or expectation of reward. Tithing is presented as an Old Testament practice not binding on New Testament believers, who are encouraged to give cheerfully and according to their purpose. The sermon also warns against turning the church into a social club focused on money rather than the gospel of Jesus Christ.
