The Generous Life (1 of 3)
Series: Generous Life
Jordan Easley
Matthew 6:19-34
This morning, we're kicking off a brand new series called, ''The Generous Life'' and over these next few weeks, we're going to be talking about money. Now-I want you to take a deep breath... and relax... look at your neighbor and tell them... ''It's going to be okay!''
For some reason, Giving has always been one of those sermon topics that make people clinch their fists, shift in their seats and begin checking their watches-some of you are already thinking... ''How can I get out of here?!?''
But my prayer for us, as we navigate through this series, is that we would be open to hearing from the Lord as we dive in and take a hard look at what the Bible teaches us about generosity.
Nobody in their right mind wants to be second... or third... or fourth...
Everyone wants to be #1.
2019-2020 College Football Top 20
1. LSU 6. Oregon 11. Utah 16. Iowa
2. Ohio State 7. Baylor 12. Auburn 17. Memphis
3. Clemson 8. Wisconsin 13. Alabama 18. Minnesota
4. Oklahoma 9. Florida 14. Michigan 19. Boise St.
5. Georgia 10. Penn State 15. Notre Dame 20. App St.
This year, we watched the reigning champs-Clemson get knocked off-do you think Dabo Swinney was content with being one of the best teams this year? NO! He wants to be #1.
Do you think Nick Saban started this year and told his Alabama team, ''Alright boys, this year, we want to be the 13th best team in the country!?!'' Absolutely not! He said, like he says every year, ''Our goal is to be #1.''
You never celebrate being in the top 10. You want to be in first!
It's just like Ricky Bobby's Daddy said, ''If you ain't first... you're last!''
That's some good theology right there!
Listen... Jesus came to be first in your life. Period. He didn't die on a cross so that he could make the top 10 in your life. He came to be your #1! He came to be the LORD of your life.
And let me just tell you, like one preacher said...
