6/4/23 Pastor Dave - My Storehouse -
Pray to God.
Is jealous for me. Love's like a tree.
All of a sudden. I am on the way with these afflictions Eclipse are you are and how great your sections are for me.
Jealous for me. Looks like I am.
Ben 10, pictures.
All of a sudden. I am on the way with these apprehensions eclipse and I realized just how beautiful you are and how great your section are for me.
Here's our prize water retention by the grace, in his eyes and the phrase.
Don't have time to maintain these repressed. Can I play the ball?
Always, thank you for your love this morning. God, we thank you for each and every day that you bring us into your presence. God asked you to touch Pastor Dale this morning, and what word he has from you, God Only You. We thank you. And give you praise in the name of Jesus. Amen. Praise you. God.
Yeah. Mary Mary Beth Mary has to turn her hearing aid up so she can hear me Frank has to turn his down cuz I speak too loud for him at
That's good.
That's good. I'm glad you can't marry.
Very knife banter back and forth. So
just don't tell my wife about my wife, my beautiful wife in case you, you didn't see it. In case you didn't know, or if you did, we thank you for your congratulations. But last this past week, on Monday, the 29th, we celebrated, 30 years of happy marriage, most of the time,
Most of the time like with every marriage. If you've ever been married is a happy time and sometime soon as you really have some intense Fellowship It keeps case. You don't know what that is. Ask her after church, but we, we had a great time and we went out to dinner. If you're looking for a nice place to take your spouse for him, or just a couple of ladies together, the Bethlehem, Diner, Bethlehem restaurant hotel in Bethlehem Pennsylvania downtown to the historic district. And you want to give you want the room with the windows. It's beautiful up there. What's that called? Me about The Tap Room? Taproom The Tap Room. The Hotel Bethlehem, right downtown, and it's beautiful. Spend some time walking around the food is excellent. And I think we had a good time. She had a couple smiles on her face that night and so and if she's happy, if Mom is Happy. Come on, man. Everybody's happy. Revali.
Well, we have missed you the past two weeks. We it it seems strange not to get up early in the morning to you to be here and talk with you at the Greek with you and hug you and shake hands. But two weeks ago, we had our daughter. She thought it said a lot to heading to Uganda. Next Sunday, they're heading to Uganda. They will be spending two weeks over there and so we would ask that you would be praying for them because some areas are not too nice over there. They going over with a lady who's been doing missions all of her life. She's from New Zealand as her church. They, they met her and that she's been going to the church on a yearly, sometimes more often basis, but every once in a while she tries to get people to go with her on a missions trip. And these two decided that they wanted to go and I'm happy for them, but also, like, even when I go, it's you pray, you have to pray a lot. So we would welcome your prayer for Tammy and Nelson as they head over to Uganda. They going to be arriving there around 11:00 at night, in the missionary that they're going over there, going to meet her over there, she's arriving there about 2 in the afternoon from Kenya, so she's already going to be over in Africa for a week or two before. And then she's going to go to Uganda on the day that they arrived, but 2 in the afternoon and she wants to drive. I bought a five hour drive 5 hour drive after they arrived in. You got to get to the point where they're going to be Ministry and I suggested that they do not drive that time because nighttime is when The belt not-so-nice people around. and not just in Africa, but it almost every country included, the United States Leo, but the guy
The bad guys come out at night, if they see a vehicle that has white people in it or non African or not, whatever country that you're in, they usually try to solve the problem and sometimes kidnapped. So I don't want to say that so that my wife, he is at. I don't want her to get nervous, but too late. What's today's message?
Ash, it's a lot different it. I was up quite a bit during the night, actually, yesterday afternoon, as I was pretty some final touches to it. My body really starts to hurt my hands. My feet my back. I believe it was an attack by the enemy because he doesn't want the message given and But it's something that I felt the Holy Spirit saying ask you, since the last week that I needed to give him this message today. And so it's the name of it is Storehouse who what? Or where is my storehouse? Where is your store house? Where they, where do you put your Treasures where your treasure is built up in? And wait to see this out of Malachi 3:10. Malachi 3, verse 10. By the way, thank you for this day that you could give it to us. We thank you for bringing us back safely and we thank you for the people that are here today. Lord, father. I thank you for those that are online listening to this message. Would that father that you would bless them? That father, that they would be touched in a special way? Boy, in Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Help me not to spill any more water on my shirt, too.
Malachi 3:10 Reed's. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse that there may be food in my house and try me now in this.
Says the Lord. Not be saying, voices, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open for you, the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessings. That will not that there will not be room enough to receive it. And otherwise, you said, I want to feel you. I will bless you all weren't above anything that you can imagine. And it's not always with money. People think that if I give money, it's going to, let me say what I get twice as much. How many times do we hear? Evangelist on television? I asked you this morning.
about 5:30 I was watching, I usually put a music channel channel, want to listen to music, but as I was going through there, there was one that says receive your blessings and I stopped there for a minute and the guys Perfect timing. All right, there is 30 people out there, 30 people that today, you need to give $1,000. Hey, you're going to get back 10 times that much from the Lord. So I quickly at turn the channel. Because that's not how the Wii. The Lord works. But your blessings will come in many different ways. One of the reasons were the main reason that I'm preaching on this today and trying to teach this, not so much preaching. But teach the principle behind giving is that when we weren't here last week, there were 40 people in the church and with the 40 people that we're here. We receive an offering of $500.
That's not much money. And when you have a building as big as this and do the repairs, and the upkeep just too, and I'm not sure if everybody knows this, but our gas bill this past winter doubled, in price, we had a bunch of 1883 dollars a month and went up to almost $4,000 a month. That's a lot of money for heat. And the electricity. I don't have the air conditioning on, but I do have the fan on. And we're going to try to cut back on every area that we can turn off the lights when we're not. And it's not in. Use the temperatures turn down as low as we can possibly do it without freezing pipes, and we don't want to be wasting the money. But we need to receive some money to be able to keep the church going.
Who do you call? When your children. Some questions for you. Who do you call when your children or grandchildren need prayer? Maybe something has happened to them and they're sick or they've got injured, who do you call? Who do you call? When you are struggling struggling with an emotional problem, right now, my I received the message this morning after I got here from my son down in Georgia and he's going through them an issue right now and emotional issue is just he hasn't been able to sleep and eat every time he eats, he he wants to get you want some vomit because there's so much stress on his mind. So who do you call? Who do you call? When you, when you need spiritual encouragement or Enlightenment, who do you call when friends or family need prayer for salvation? Who is that person or that Ministry that you call?
For those needs. Because that person of that Ministry that you call is your Storehouse that it talks about in Malachi The storehouse is the place where you are fed, spiritually. 1st Corinthians chapter chapter 2. Where is the first two chapters 16 Ruiz on the first day of the week. That each one of you lay something aside, nothing storing up as much as he may. Sorry play something is side storing up as he may Prosper that they would be no collections when I come
Be faithful folks. Be faithful to the ministry of that God has placed you in a place, where God has put you in your here today because you, I want to be here. But God has placed you here know that the Pottsville Foursquare Church and our leaders are council members. Our elders are our deacons and deaconesses. We are faithful to pray for you. Pastor Mary Beth and I we are faithful to pray for you. Each and every day. and we love you, we love you very much if you but
if you do not trust your past with your money,
Leave the church. That you were 10.
I do receive Presley, 27 churches between Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
I hear for the pastor's that people say they love the pastors preaching. But they don't like the way that the money is spent, so they don't give to the church.
Maybe some sit think that here, maybe they think that were spending too much for spending money on a 2005, Toyota Camry. You want, we should be driving something less expensive than that off. And I hear people say that they don't give to the church because they don't trust that. The money is being spent. They don't like the fact that the path to drive a new car or a dependable car. They don't like the fact that maybe the clothes that he wears or she wears Yet they continue to go to the church for whatever reason they, they like the way that preaches that he preaches or she preaches. They like the things that they say that they, that teaches that they get, yo, like from Pastor Rob, the other teaching said that him and then give on Wednesdays. They just don't give to it. Here is some of the thoughts or so my thoughts for you about these people. If you don't trust your pastor, With your money, you should leave the church immediately. Why would I say that? Because if you don't trust him with your money, that's not really a reason. because trusting him with your trusting, with him, something even more important than your money, you're trusting him with your Eternal Soul as and if your pastor can't be trustworthy with the money that he's received from you to manage the church, It's a guide, the direction that the church needs to be going in, he's not responsible enough to be able to guide you in the relationship with Christ. How do you say get out of there? Find a church that you think will use your money properly and we'll teach you God's word correctly. And if you can't find any of those churches or church the match that then it's likely the real reason that you
That you lack. The trust is a fact that you're just stingy. If you don't want to give up your money, it's belongs to you. You work hard for it. You're trying to keep the money for yourself, the church can manage on my 5 or $10.
1st Corinthians 9:6, it reads. But this I say to say to you, he who sow sparingly will also reap sparingly and he who solves a lot will also reap bought it or you'll get back greater things. So let each one of you give as he purposes in his high. Not begrudgingly or out of necessity for God, loves a cheerful Giver.
A cheerful Giver. Are you a cheerful giver? When when you give to you give cheerfully. We had a gentleman and pasta Mary Beth. Can I test for this church that we were at before we came here and he wanted to control the church. He owns some businesses construction, business, and ice cream has several rental businesses storefronts and buildings, housing buildings, and one Sunday. As I walked into the church and he's standing up in the back pasture. Frankish like he's usually standing up the back and I stood up and stood next to him waiting for worship to finish and he took out of his pocket and he's waving this piece of paper in front of me. And I know some of you have heard this before but the piece of paper was a check for $1,000. He said, if I stop giving this check this church will close. I took the check. I look at it. I was impressed. You tell me you wouldn't be impressed if somebody was give you $1,000 or give it $1,000 to the church and I looked at it in pieces and he was shocked, he was actually angry. He said, what are you doing? And I use a couple of the words I said, God wants a cheerful Giver. He doesn't want some of this trying to bribe to control. If you can't give cheerfully that don't bother giving it all. And I mean that today, if you can't give cheerfully that don't bother giving it all. I know the house is going to be yelling at me after church for saying that, but that's what we need to do. God wants a cheerful Giver. He wants to bless you. He wants to bless you, you wants to bless you at home, but you have to do a cheerful, he's not a controlling issue of giving.
10 reasons why I should give why I should tie according to Hebrews 11:6, God says, without faith. It is impossible to please him. Meaning God. for he who comes to God must
Must believe that he is and that and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. So are you diligently seeking God? Are you trying to seek God, for everything that he can give to you? Are you trying to get the best for you and for your family?
I don't know. When you tie to God, you are, you are truly walking by faith and not by sight. When you give to God your tithes, most of us normally don't have any money to spare. I do. I actually, I've got a lot of money right now. I think my pocket. I don't, I do have some change in my pocket, Mary Beth found some money in my shorts. I order these pants from last week and it was it was a lot of money was $3 there. Yeah, I was going to take her out then I was going to take her out to eat after church but I couldn't do that because even McDonald's, I can't find McDonald's for $3.
So most of us don't normally have spare money to save or take it to give so when we tied, we're putting God to the test. We're saying we are saying yes, what I believe that you are the god of your word and I am giving in faith. When we give in faith, we are trusting God to provide Mary Beth. And I since October, I I think I've received one paycheck and she's receive three paychecks. Since October. I don't know how many of you can live on that much. We do have a retirement for small Social Security retirement, and we tied on that every week. Because we're trusting in God, provide.
If you'd like to see are offering which we can call it up on the computer and show you our offerings for the last year. So how much money that we should have been making? But we don't because why we pay all our bills first,
At the church and we tie the church ties. We tithe God says, I will provide you have to use your faith to please. God, as you step out in faith to return your tithes and you're offering, you are showing God that you believe in him and great shall be your reward.
Eventually great, as you don't expect out to you immediately, sometimes it does.
When I think it was when I first started here, I I told it I was speaking one time on tithing
and one of the principals are really got to me when I did this back, when I first got saved, it was a Sunday night service. I was working. High tide at a hospital as a nurse. Actually AdCare Hospital in Worcester Mass for alcoholics and drug addicts. and, I get paid on Friday and it was a small amount of still had to pay my rent and everything else was the first of the month. So I had to pay everything. I had $20 left in my pocket. The last me until the following Friday when I get paid and that was to drive 20 miles each way to go. Visit my wife, she wasn't my wife at that time. She was a girl that I was dating.
We had a missionary in and I felt the Lord saying gift cuz they were taking an offering for him. And I reached into my pocket, I'm looking in all, it was a $20 bill.
And I will listen to what you going to have to help me. I got to find some way to break this money. He's a give it all trust me.
But but I kept saying to myself, but if I give this that, I don't have the money to go. Visit my wife to see her, I don't want her the money to get gas.
Trust me. So when the plague came around I gave the last I had not another dollar, didn't even have changed my pocket. I gave that night with church ended up as we're leaving the church at I have the the honor of walking up the church at the end of the night and and the foyer there was a couple couples standing around ya talkin and one of them came over to be in today. I wasn't a pastor at that time. It's a date. Can we talk to you? I said sure. And they took me off to the side and the husband was there and the wife was started to cry. She said we are sorry. I used to do photography before and I had that the wedding photography for that family. and I, Did the order gave it to them? They said they would pay. They never paid.
I didn't go after we got at that time, we just go well Wrote it off as wash money.
And they took out of their pocket. Over and above the amount that they owed me and they gave it to me and it was all in cash.
Excuse me. I thank them for the gift and I said you didn't have to do what they said we did. Because we saw you giving.
And I thank them again and we hugged and braised and they left is still waiting for the people to leave. So I can go and tell Mary Beth won the joy that I had some money now in my pocket and be able to go to see her. Another couple came up to me. I had done the photograph for photography, with his son's High School, senior pictures and they had ordered several pictures and they owed me money.
This was a couple years before I went to the church. but they recognized me and they gave me the money that the old
I walked out of that church that I put over $600 in my pocket. I gave 20.
I immediately went to the pastor and counted out 20%.
Cuz I felt that's what I was supposed to do. So it was a tide on the money, but it also was at offering to give The Lord has blessed be. And he will bless you. You need to trust in him and when you trust in him, you will see that he does so much for more more for you. What is tithing? Tithing means, 10% or 1/10. One tenth of a dollar ten cents on the dollar $10 on $100.
$100 + $1,000. 1/10. God's word tells us that the first 10% of everything that we earned or receive belongs to him. They hide is not paid or given in return. It is returned. It's not paid to God. It's not paid for the church. It's return to God that first 10% for longs to him. So therefore you cannot pay or give something that does not belong to you in the first place. Do you realize that you can't pay something that you don't own? That 10% Is Not Yours. Its God, God says in Malachi 3:8. If you don't return the tithe and offering to him, you are you are a thief. In Versailles. He says that we bring lots of problems on ourselves. If we don't type, sometimes we wonder why all things are going wrong in our life. Why our bills aren't being met, why we can't do this on that? Maybe we need to take a look at our giving.
I know there's a lot of people, there's going to be angry at me today for giving this message, but it's what I felt a God. And I said, I just, I wasn't even able to sleep last night, I started to share it with Pastor Mary Beth yesterday. She said, don't share any more of it. I want to hear it fresh. I sent it to Pastor Frank last night to have you look at it over, he said it needs to be set.
The only way God works will be. Done on this Earth is if God's people gives give of their finances, certainly the world isn't going to get finances in the end in the end time Harvest. No, it's, it's responsibility of the, it's the responsibility of the church in God's people to give we can expect to get money from the, for the world. People say, I'll give you this granting, this money for this, this company, everything is the church's responsibility to give What time it is. Tithing is not 5% 2%. 15% 20% or 30%? It's 10%. Tithing is not just for the for the week that you happen to go to church.
Tithing is 10% of the total that God is giving you for income.
If you miss a week.
If you miss a week of attendance at the church, you should make up your tie the following week. If you are absent from church for number week, some people go away for three or four five weeks. You should mail you a weekly tied into your church office. Hi, this is not what you give to a needy family. A charity or other Mission Ministry, other than your local church. Your tide is not the church building fun. It's not the benevolence fund or any other fun that we may have out there. The window, find the roof on that. We, we need to save for the the money we need to save for the put a new furnace into this building, which could save us a lot of money, but we need a lot of money to put a new furnace in.
We have cut back on her light. If we switch to all LED lighting in the building, to save us money and it has cut back on our electric bill.
Your tithe is not again. Not the building fight. Your tide is not designated if you designated, it's not a tide.
All this dispatch, this money needs to go to dressing up. The ladies room. We need to make that more beautiful in there. That money needs to be. If if if you wrote that on your tie check or are your giving check on the envelope that money has to go for that. Do you know that by law by federal law. The money has to be given to what its designated for.
So if you say it needs to be used for the beautification of the ladies room. And needs to be used for the beautification of the ladies room.
It is to be used by you. Tied is to be used by the church for the church to find every day. Every week expenses. What's the difference between tithe and offering? The tide is the first 10% of everything that you receive financially. Yes, and we tied on our total income. And offering is the amount that you would give Above The Tide. The Tide The Tide. Rebukes The Devourer What the offering is Multiplied. Back many times over. So will you give over over the 10%? God returns back more and more.
Well, I thought Heidi was Old Testament. Jewish luck. It's not for today. No, that's not true. According to Galatians chapter 3 verse 17. The law came through 430 years after God is two to the promise of tithing to Abraham. If tithing was under the Jewish law, why did Abraham 430 years before the law was given? Why did he type? According to Genesis 14:24, him tied. He tied it to the priest mikyska pathetic, from the very beginning.
Hundreds of years before the law was even written by the Jewish people. I can't view. How many of you has said it? Don't raise your hand. How many of you have said it? I can't afford to tithe. You can't afford, not to type. If you are a disciple of Jesus Christ, you can't afford, not to type. You need God Supernatural help. If you're ever going to get out of debt, if you want if you want your ship to come in before you tithe,
You may be waiting a long time.
But as you tide, you can expect blessings from God. Put your faith into action today by returning to him, the first 10% of everything that you earn or receive and watch how he helps you get out of debt. I would encourage you to teach your children and your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren to tithe from a very early age and they will be blessed all the days of their life. A personal story. I got some very best. Got a big grin on her face. Is our granddaughter. One of our granddaughter, Hannah. I daughter and son-in-law Todd Hanna and Aaron to tie for their from Young. When they if they receive money for the birthday, they had a tide on it.
And Hannah. I just want to use this envelope.
She would take her money out of her pocket. Go to church.
Smells so good. The cheapest rabbit item wolf in sheep's put in and she would write her name on a printer, naked shooting right at that time and she put her name on it. What was for Ed before? She would put it into a plate.
It smells so good. God, I'm giving you something that smells so good to me and she put it in a plate every time that she gave and she still she just graduated from college and she still giving God has provided her with blessings. That is beyond anything that we have even anticipated. She is going to school and she wants to be a designer. She's going to Albright. Albright. She's still deciding Albright, but she's went through L Tri-C. It Allentown. Just what? She got some very Beth used to say oh she she struggles with authority. She got high honors. She went to lccc. For free. She had to keep her grades up. Chica 4.0 average I guess that's kind of kind of decent grade to get in college, right? They pay for it and now she's he I believe she's getting some other money down at Albright but also it doesn't matter about that. She got a job modeling. As she has traveled across the country modeling, making thousands of dollars. For a couple hours work. She's getting blessed and you know what? She tides on every bit of it so the blessings Are there. God wants to bless you. 10 reasons why we should tithe.
Like a man said, he Malachi 3:10. God's is breathing to bring the whole tide. It's at the storehouse, the storehouse refers to the place, where you worship the place where you, where you are fed, the tide is to be returned to your home church and place the place where you are spiritually fed, where you give to support Charities and other Ministries. You should be giving out of the offering. The overabundance above the tides, the whole tide belongs to your local church. Are you hearing me at home? Listening to this tithing proves God's word is true. Point number two, God says if you will put him to the test in tithes and offerings eventually you will see great blessings over take your life even to the point that you will see God, open Windows above us to supply you and your family. I kind of want those blessings to come upon my family and God will rebuke the Devourer according to Malachi 3:11. You have an enemy that will steal all your finances but where you bring God the whole tithe and the offerings as he leads you God will rebuke the enemy. When you become a follower of Jesus Christ, the enemy gets kissed on and he starts taking aim at you. He wants to destroy you. He wants to destroy your faith in your belief.
And how does he do that? He did text your finances when your when your finances are attacked.
Do you start to worry about what's going to happen? How am I going to pay the light bill to the heating bill? The gas for the oil, Bill to call Bill. How am I going to pay for the repairs in my vehicle? How am I going to do this and you still worrying about those friend? Finances and you can go online and YouTube, search YouTube search you have Facebook and you will see testimonies of people who were hurting for financial reasons. And they started time when they when they could not afford to tide. So they thought it's God's either for blessings upon them almost nightly. We watch that one. Go to bed. And almost nightly, they have testimonies about people who have given
And it's not just a change that they have in their pocket. You need God's help. If you're going to make it financially in today's world and the tough times that we're going to have and that we live in. God Ashley challenges, every believer to put him to the test and they're giving it to watch what he does in their life. It's time to put God to the test and watch the blessings flow. I flow towards you. And so not doing it today. I never went past or Marcus Who? Here remembers Pastor Marcus. Couple of us. Do you remember the Sunday that he preached on tithing? Because he, he put out a rhetorical. Question is where it says that you are you stealing from God? If you don't tithe, he says, how many out there were stealing from God? And he's is George Raft. because he said, Cassie. Can't believe how many people raise their head because they weren't hiding.
I asked you. Are you stealing from God? Do not restrain that cuz I don't want to see it.
Hiding teaches me to put God first. According to Deuteronomy 14:23, the purpose of tithing for us to do it around me 1423. The purpose of tithing is to teach you to always put God first in your life. If God has our finances, then we know that he has our hearts. If we refuse to tithe, we prove that he really doesn't have first place in our hearts. You're in our lives.
The fifth Point, Jesus recognizes tithing, Matthew 23:23 Jesus recognize the, or commanded or commended the Pharisees for tithing hiding. Was the only thing that the Pharisees did, right? He was commanding there for tithing hear the Pharisees. Where is? Controllers.
And he didn't commit them for anything else that I can read. But he commended it because they tied it, they gave their 10% tithing point, six, tithing is essential. To the spiritual growth. God tells us in Luke 16, 11 there for a few have not been faithful in the use of money. How you can, how can you expect to wintrust, Greater riches to you? How can you expect greater blessings upon you? Don't you want greater blessings on your life? I know this principle may seem high to people to accept, but I've it's not me that sing, it's God's word that say. So if you have a problem with giving take it up and
I just sharing what he is given to me to say,
Many Christians, don't grow spiritually and remain spiritual babies because they are not faithful to obey God in the tide and in the offering .7 tithing proves that you love the Lord. In 2nd Corinthians 8, 8 God says that you're giving test the sincerity of your love. You say you love the Lord but you prove your love to him. When you give talk is cheap actions speak louder than words. Point eight tithing is an investment for eternity. Matthew 6:19, Matthew 6:19 Jesus told us to store up Treasures. In Heaven, when you return, your tithes and offering to the Lord's work, you are investing your money in the souls for the kingdom of God and helping to get people to heaven.
If you don't have somebody to do the work, are you going to go out and do the work? Are you going to get the phone calls in the middle of the night to talk with people to do is cry? Cry with him to go to the hospital to visit a dying to hold a dying relative hand? To go out to eat when a child is injured or the daughters injured in a vehicle accident or some other type of accident. Are you going to run out and leave what you're doing?
When somebody is dying and you have a birthday party that you're planning. The family never say. So until his dying day that they give them maybe an hour or two. Espouse. Hi.
Right. How many are willing to do that?
