Why Does God Need My Money? (1 of 4)
Series: Answers For Joe

Psalm 50:7-15
OPEN: ''YouTube'' is a site where people can post videos they've either made or like, and some of those videos are grouped into ''channels'' (like a TV channel). I have my own channel where I've put songs I've sung by myself or with the SonShine Boys.
Now some of these channels are more popular than others (mine has 20 subscribers and has only had about 200 or 300 views), but one of the more popular channels that I like is called ''Answers With Joe'' hosted by Joe Scott. Joe is fun to listen to and he explains complex scientific issues that I'd like to know about, in simple terms that even I can understand. I like this guy! And I've watched as he's explained things like ''Quantum theory''; Artificial gravity; the International Space Station. And he's talked about how batteries work. And he's focused on Solar Flares, and how we have explored the Moon, and Mars and Jupiter and other celestial bodies.
What's appealing is that he's gentle, humble and he admits when he's not sure about things... and that brings us to one of his videos that we're going to use for sermons series: ''Is There A God?'' PLAY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3_0O-gpeYo - beginning at 2:05 through 4:21 timestamps (The transcript will be at the end of the sermon).
When I first watched that video, I hurt for this guy. Here was Joe Scott baring his soul to his audience and gently explaining why he's struggled with his faith. I realized that this man was asking honest questions that deserved to be answered. So, for the next 4 weeks we're going to try to give ''Answers FOR Joe'' attempting to answer the questions he posed in his YouTube video.
And we're going to start with his comment: ''If God is all-powerful and all-knowing, why does He need my help? And my money?'' Now, that's a legitimate question. Why would an all-powerful and all-knowing God need my money? And the answer to that question is ...
