Were tithes ever required by Jesus or the Apostles?

But like yourself it bothers me to see some churches doing yard sales,bake sales ect.Trying to pay the bills because the pastor is taking all the tithes for himself.I have not figured that out yet.God said to bring into the store house.Not the preachers house.With all that said, i have no problem with a pastor being paid a salary.There are not many jobs were a person is on call 24/7

My dad was a home mission pastor who had a secular job, not only did he pay tithes, he went without (along with the family) food and other things and gave more than 10%. Not every pastor is taking tithes for himself.
