Scripture: Genesis 14:18-24 and Various Texts
Speaker: Dr. H. Bruce Stokes

This episode traces the origin of tithes and offerings back to Genesis and explains how tithing, the second tithe (tzedakah), freewill offerings, and participation support worship and community. Drawing from Genesis, Deuteronomy, the New Testament, and early church practice, the speaker clarifies that tithing is a testimony of God’s provision, while charitable giving cares for the poor and supports ministry.
