1. Giving is a matter of my heart.
2. Tithing is being empowered to give 10% back to God.
3. Jesus + anything else leads to discontentment.
4. The best attitude to have is an attitude of gratitude.
Our giving is a direct indicator of our gratitude. We are motivated to give back because of God's grace upon us. Those who give are grateful.
Contentment
November 19, 2023 • Austin Seevers • 1 Timothy 6:2–10
Jesus was a giver.
Is Jesus enough?
Jesus + anything else = discontentment
* The source of contentment is Jesus.
* The practice of contentment is generosity.
We must:
* Think eternally.
* Pray continually.
Tithing
November 12, 2023 • Jay Scott • Malachi 3, Luke 12
Giving is always a matter of the heart.
Tithing is really a matter of entitlement.
How can I honor Jesus with what he has entrusted to me?
1. Start Giving.
2. Strive towards 10%.
3. Make sure you can feel it.
4. If you don’t know where to start, depending on your income start with $100 a month or more.
The love and example of Jesus leads me to radically give.
Offerings Back to God
November 5, 2023 • Jay Scott • Genesis 4
Cain brought an "I have to" offering.
Abel brought an "I want to" offering.
You see, the heart of the matter is a matter of the heart. When it comes to giving, it's always a matter of the heart.
