About this sermon
I unpack the Shabbat principle as a weekly act of trust: I unplug once a week and declare, “God is God and I am not.” What surprised me is how clearly this connects to tithing. Both are invitations into rest, surrender, and alignment, not religious performance. If you’ve been feeling anxious, over connected, or like you have to hold everything together, this message is a reset for your soul and your stewardship. I read from Malachi 3:10 and break down what it means to “bring the whole tithe into the storehouse,” meaning the local house of God, your spiritual home. I also talk about the “food in my house” principle: spiritual nourishment in a community has real cost, and God invites us to partner with Him to provide it. Then we hit that unusual line where God says, “Test me,” and I explain why this is a covenant invitation into blessing, protection, and fruitfulness. I also share a fresh moment from my trip to **Israel where I felt God tell me to keep my phone off even after dinner ended. For 18 hours I obeyed, not happily at first, but it exposed how much I leaned on constant connection, updates, and control. I connect that experience to generosity and missions, including honoring Bishop Reed, the legacy of David Yonggi Cho, and a missions outreach connected to **CGI, with a future trip to **Jakarta, Indonesia. If you’re ready to trust God with your time, your attention, and your finances, this one is for you. 10 chapters (timecodes + title only) 00:00 - The Shabbat principle: “God is God and I am not” 03:06 - 32 years in Israel and a Shabbat dinner in the old city 05:23 - Tithing equals trust: 90% blessed goes farther 07:28 - Missions offering story: honoring friendship, legacy, and outreach 09:46 - Prayer over tithe and offering in Yeshua’s name Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertrstearns/ Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robertrstearns/ Don't forget to PUSH THE BELL to get NOTIFICATIONS of new and upcoming videos.
