Don't ever apologize for preaching the Gospel.  Generosity … Robert Morris

 

 

 

1.  don't apologize for preaching God's word about money. Matthew 16

 

·      If we don't tell God's people about money, who will?

·      Preach about it and people will give.

·      3 times the word MAMMON is in this passage

·      all money has a spirit on it.  Cursed or consecrated.

·      There are consequences for not serving God.  God is waiting to bless us.  Consequences to obedience are blessing.  Consequences to disobedience is cursing.

·      Mammon promises everything that God can give.  If you had more money, you'd be ….

·      Jesus never told anyone that the answer to their problem is more money.

·      Mammon tries to replace God.

·      Spirit of anit-Christ is the spirit of mammon.

 

2. don't apologize for preaching God's word about tithing.

 

·      We are still tied to the law yet under grace. 

·      Tithing is about your heart.  Exodus 23:19, Proverbs 3:9-10, Exodus 3:1-13

·      Jesus was God's tithe.

·      God will not accept any offering that is first.  He cannot be anything other than 1st.

·      God cannot change because he cannot get better. He's already perfect.

·      Nothing has ever just occurred to God.

·      Galatians 4:3-5.  Cain's offering was not the first fruits.  Abel's offering was of the first part of his things.

·      In your heart is where it matters.  The first place it goes is who you honor.

·      You bring the tithe.  You don't give your tithe. 

·      The tithe is to go to the storehouse, the local church.  Tithing is returning to God.  It is not giving.  You also can't designate your tithe because it is not yours.

 

3. don't apologize for preaching God's word about giving.

 

·      Tithing is returning to God what is his.

·      Tithing is the starting place that teaches giving.  Luke 6:37, Matthew 7:1

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
