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 ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
