About this listen

 The early church did not operate on a mandated percentage. They met in homes. They shared what they had. Money moved when someone had need—not to sustain structures. In this episode, Phil Robertson walks through Acts and Stephen’s sermon to clarify what the first believers actually practiced. The Law of Moses required ten percent. The church is not under the Law of Moses. Acts describes generosity under grace, not obligation under law. Stephen declared that the Most High does not live in houses made by men. The household of God is the people themselves. The church is a spiritual house—not a financial system built around structures. This episode addresses the tension between generosity and extraction, hospitality and infrastructure, and what happens when that distinction is blurred. In this episode: Acts 2, Acts 7 verses 44–50 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
