Ep.96 - Is Tithing Only an Old Testament Law? What the Bible Really Says
Published 4 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
Is tithing simply an Old Testament requirement that disappeared when Jesus fulfilled the law?
It’s one of the most common arguments against tithing, but the biblical story of giving begins long before Moses and continues well into the New Testament.
In this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair examines tithing throughout Scripture, beginning with Abraham and Jacob giving a tenth before the Mosaic law was ever established. He then turns to the early church, Paul’s teaching on cheerful generosity, and Jesus’ own words about tithing, justice, mercy, and the condition of our hearts.
You’ll discover why the New Testament doesn’t lower the standard of generosity, but in many ways raises it—and why Christian giving should flow from gratitude, worship, and a transformed relationship with God rather than obligation alone.
In this episode:
• Did tithing exist before the Old Testament law?
• What Abraham and Jacob teach us about giving
• What Jesus actually said about tithing
• Why the early church practiced radical generosity
• Paul’s teaching on cheerful, voluntary giving
• The difference between giving from obligation and giving from gratitude
• Why generosity can become part of your Christian testimony
• What your relationship with money may reveal about your heart
