Summer At Connect 2017_pt8: Walking like Jesus
As we seek “the good life” or a “better life” we must not forget that our mandate is to find out what pleases the Lord.
[TODAY] - We’re going to look at an area of our life that just might make some of us uncomfortable, but that is OK!
What pleases the Lord?...
- Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Why does this please the Lord?
Because He’s a giver!
Generous = Ready to impart
[STORY] - Store clerk robbed, gives robber $40 of own money for insulin.
Walking in generosity is walking like Jesus!
Walking like Jesus
John 15
[PAYOFF] - Our lives should be full of generous giving!
3 Areas of giving: Time, Talent, Treasure
Time - Lead a connect group, serve with us at an event
Talent - God has given you a gift!
This is what you can use to most serve Him and bring glory to Him!
Treasure - Be a giver!
Meet the needs of others!
Others before you!
Don’t like money talk? - Get over it!
Giving draw us closer to God
We devote time, energy, and money to the things that are important to us.
[PAYOFF] - These things have our heart!
Giving strengthens our faith
Proverbs
Luke 6:
We put our trust in Him, honor and obey whatever He puts on our heart to do, and reap a reward!
This grows our faith – we trust, we do, we see…
[PAYOFF] - Our faith will grow as far as we are willing to give ourselves to Him.
Giving is an investment in eternity
Those in Heaven that we reached with our time, talent & treasure!
[SAY WITH ME] - It’s not about me! Live with that moto.
Giving of ourselves
1. Pray!
Prayer aligns our heart with God’s heart.
Prayer has power!
Prayer was Christ’s first response to those hurting, those lost, those in sin.
2. Go!
We are His hands and feet!
He’s put this mission/responsibility in our hands.
We must GO or the work will not be done.
Go Team!
3. Give!
There are many who struggle with giving (time, talent or money)
It’s because they don’t understand…
It’s not about getting more out of you.
[go to Take Away]
Take Away
Giving makes us like God!
Why did He give?
Because He so LOVED!
BE A GIVER!...
A GENEROUS GIVER!
