Intro:
What is 5 + 2?
See we are operating on God’s math here!
God takes what we willingly give and multiples it out more than we can possibly imagine.
It’s no miracle, its the Church’s standard operating procedures and the basis for this comes from Scripture in 2 Cor 9:6
We are continuing on our series in 2 Cor 9 as we talk about generous giving.
As you all have been faithful, I will now ask, have you been generous?
Are we being generous from our abundance and overflow or are we being generously sacrificial, stepping out on faith in our giving?
These are tough questions because everyone’s situation is different and we have to challenge ourselves in this area because it is one area, where we as the Church, don’t hold you accountable, its always between you and God.
But he is pretty clear in 2 Cor 9:6 when he says:
From What God Gives
A. God’s Gives Generously

b.

B. Sow and reap in faith

2. Sow generously - faith is great that the Lord will provide
a. Woman who gave two mites
b.
Her trust was in God alone
c. Can I live like that?
Came here on faith, as most pastors do.
Something most people don’t take into account - we leave all we know and go to what is unknown.
We try to live out on faith.
Now flesh gets a hold of me too, but we must repent and be ready to be generous.

Close:
But it takes faith.
This comes at a time when Israel had robbed God of the tithes and offerings.
He is calling for repentance, so that the people can see what God will do.
I am calling for a steadfast and even an elevated giving.
It doesn’t take make to make a big difference, it just takes faith.
Next week we are going to talk about goals and the budget that we have finished up.
God has been good to us through your faithful giving and I am excited to see what the next year holds.
God Bless and let us continue in faith!
