Starter Kit (1 of 5)
by Miles McPherson
When Pastor Miles was a child, his mother used to take him and his siblings to church each Sunday. Each child was given an envelope with a coin to put in the offering. This was simply a starter kit to tithing, as she was teaching her children to give. In this series, we have learned that God is the source of all good gifts and that He gives to us that we may be a source of blessing to someone else. He does intend for us to enjoy what He gives us, but not all of it is for us to keep for ourselves.God actually wants you to acknowledge that all you have is because of His goodness. He wants your whole life and your whole heart, just as...
Stewardship and Our Steadfastness (5 of 9)
by Daniel Rodgers
Paul is writing to the Church at Colosse. Some of the believers there had fallen into heresy--the worshipping of angels, observing dietary laws, circumcision, etc. They were once again placing themselves under the Old Testament Law and the Sabbath. That's why he admonishes them in (2:16), "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days." In (vs.1), he makes reference to the Church at Laodicea: Laodicea was located a few miles northwest of Colosse. It was a wealthy center of trade and commerce. Later, Jesus would criticize the believers at...
God's Stewardship Program (5 of 5)
by Jim Henry
Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, they will pour into your lap. For whatever measure you deal out to others, it will be dealt to you in return.I want to let it be clearly understood that I don't preach on stewardship every Sunday. But I do believe that stewardship is as much a part of God's Word as prayer, salvation, discipleship, faith, love and all these things that we preach. Therefore, without apology, I simply want to state that I'm bringing a very important part of God's Word to God's people. If you are not a Christian, this may not mean much to you, and I understand...
Faith for Your Finances (9 of 13)
by Stan Coffey
Well this morning we're going to be talking about faith for your finances. I know if you never have any financial problems then maybe you can listen to this message and help someone else out. But if you have financial problems, if you ever have financial need I think this message will be a blessing for you.The greatest manual for life is the word of God. Amen? The Bible is written not only for Sunday, it's written for the rest of the week as well. And God speaks to us about the whole of life. And we're going to read Philippians 4:19. Then we'll go to several other scriptures. Most of these are on your outline and you'll be able to read them...
Tithes and Stewardship: Conduits of God's Grace
by Eddie Snipes
Stewardship through tithing did not begin with the Mosaic Law, but as a part of Abraham's faithfulness to God. Abraham was well before the law. Abraham was the picture of justification by faith that points directly to our faith in Christ. Abraham was not justified by the law, but by trusting God. It is through Abraham's faith that the first tithe was given. The principle of giving was not the tithe. Giving to God's work was the tithe, but the principle of giving is stewardship - all things belong to God and entrusted to our care. Abraham testified to this in Genesis 14:22-23. After giving a tenth to the Priest of God, Abraham then declared...
Get Fit in Your Finances (5 of 6)
by Jeff Ginn
In a recent 20/20 broadcast (May 4, 2000), Diane Sawyer interviewed a young, freewheeling, self made billionaire named Mark Cuban. Cuban made his fortune in computer and Internet businesses. Nothing remarkable about that. But it is remarkable that he appears to have had such fun in his line of work. Mark Cuban is a man who is vibrantly alive and enjoying what he does. He also enjoys spending his money on some lavish toys like a towering mansion, a Gulfstream Jet, and the Dallas Mavericks basketball team. But even those acquisitions represent fun to Cuban. When confronted by Sawyer's question, ''Do you...
Church Membership 101 - Giving (3 of 5)
by Steve Jones
Introduction Alternative: Three boys in the schoolyard were bragging about who had the better father. The first boy says, "My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, and they give him $100." The second boy says, "That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, and they give him $1000." The third boy says, "My Dad is even better than that. He scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, calls it a sermon, and it takes six men just to collect all the money!" I'm in a sermon series entitled Church Membership 101. We're talking about what it means to be a member...

The Simple Truth About Giving (4 of 15)
by Richard Bradley
As with salvation and forgiveness there is nothing complex about biblical giving. The only thing that is complex about giving is trying to understand why more believers aren't doing it. Where biblical giving is concerned there should be expectations on both sides. According to today's text God expects His people to be faithful in giving and we should expect Him to being faithful in blessing us. Biblical giving takes at least two forms. There are both tithes and offerings. The tithe is 10% of our income. Any offering should be above that tithe. For instance, when we give to one of our missions offerings that offering should be above the 10%...

Grace Giving at Corinth (8 of 13)
by Donald Cantrell
The disease cirrhosis of the giver was discovered in A.D. 34 by the husband-wife team of Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-11). It is an acute condition that renders the patient's hands immobile when he is called on to move them in the direction of his wallet or her purse, and from thence to the offering plate. This strange malady is clinically unobservable in such surroundings as the golf club, supermarket, clothing store, or restaurant. Some try to use a fake remedy, pointing out to the patients that income tax deductions can be claimed for giving. The best therapy for Cirrhosis of the Giver and that which leads to a sure and lasting cure...
Life-Giving Speech (4 of 6)
by Dave Gustavsen
We're taking a few weeks to walk through the book of James. And we've been saying every week that James gives us a vision, or a picture, of what life could look like if we lived out our faith. So in chapter one he talked about how faith can affect the way we handle sort of the dark times of life. In chapter two he talked about how faith can change our tendency to show favoritism to certain people, and snub other people. And then also in chapter two, he kind of defines what he means by ''faith.'' He says if we just have good intentions, or if we just agree to certain facts about God, that's not actual faith. So the kind of faith the Bible talks...
Results of Faithful Giving (15 of 16)
by Jim Perdue
*Our study in the book of Philippians reminds me of an Olympic runner. We are rounding the corner, coming down the homestretch! What I mean is, we're almost done with Philippians! Just two sermons left.*Any pastor approaches the topic of giving with some fear and trepidation. Honestly, you really can't win when you preach on this topic. Some people will get mad because you're stepping on their toes and they'll say, ''take it easy preacher!'' Others will get mad because you're not hard enough and they'll say, ''hit 'em harder preacher!'' My hope tonight is to show you from the book of Philippians, what the Bible has to say about the...
Biblical Guidelines for Giving (3 of 5)
by Bob Ingle
Let's open God's Word together to 1 Chronicles 29. I was having a really nice conversation with a young man in our church a couple months ago, and he said one of the most refreshing things I've heard in a while. It was refreshing because it was raw, real, and it's something rarely ever spoken. Without any hint of pride or arrogance, he said this: ''Pastor Bob, God has really blessed me. I have MORE money than I know what to do with.'' Isn't that awesome?! When's the last time you heard someone say that and mean it? Like never, right? People share their struggles with me all the time, but that's about the best problem I've ever heard...
Giving Life Eternal Significance (3 of 11)
by Stan Coffey
What's in it for me? That is what everybody wants to know today about everything. You want to know when you come to town what the best schools are and what the best church is, what's in it for me? What is it going to benefit me? We have been thinking about that and so did the disciples. Peter asked, "Lord, we have left everything to serve you, houses and lands, our boats and nets, what will we have therefore?" What is in it for me? Does it really pay to serve Jesus Christ? So today we are talking about "Giving Life Eternal Significance". In Mark 14 beginning in verse 3, this is the study of Mary and Martha. This is the...
Giving Your Way To Blessings (2 of 3)
by Jerry Vines
We have no record of these words in the four gospels which we have in our Bible, yet we are told here, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, that Jesus Christ said, ''It is more blessed to give than to receive.'' Some have referred to it as the neglected beatitude. The beatitude which Jesus gives concerning the matter of giving—it is more blessed to give than to receive. Out of ever tragedy there seems to be a way of God bringing some good. In the tragedy we have experienced in our nation—terror in America—and all of the heartache and all of the grief, in the midst of all of that, there has been a tremendous spirit among the American people...
How to Put Joy in Our of Giving (2 of 4)
by Ernest Easley
We are discovering these days GOD'S WAY TO FINANCIAL FREEDOM. And you need to know that the secret to financial freedom is found right here in the Word of God! There is more said in the New Testament about money management than about Heaven and Hell combined! There are 500 + verses that speak to us about prayer and faith and over 2000 verses that deal with your money and possessions. The Bible is the greatest resource we have to guide us when it comes to our money! Now I can hear somebody say, ''So why does God say so much about money? Is He broke?'' God is not broke. In fact .. you need to...
Are You Giving the Devil an Advantage? (5 of 31)
by Jeff Schreve
If you have your Bible, please turn to 2nd Corinthians chapter 2. I want to talk to you tonight about this question: Are you giving the devil an advantage? When my kids were little, my youngest two, we used to like to play basketball. That was always my sport, basketball, and Amy and Sarah liked basketball. Jill, my oldest, never really liked it, so she didn't really want to play. But Amy and Sarah wanted to play. So we would go out and play and they were little, I think fifth grade and seventh grade, and they couldn't do a whole lot. And so we would sometimes play two on one, and then sometimes play horse. And so when I played...
Giving What We Have (6 of 34)
by Robert Dawson
I want to remind you of a quote from John Wesley I shared a couple of weeks ago. John Wesley said, ''Get on fire for God and people will come to see you burn.'' When something is on fire it is not hard to tell. It gives off light. It gives off heat. It also ignites other combustible/flammable material around it. Fire spreads and consumes what it comes into contact with. A fire that does not spread, or cannot spread, no matter how large, will not survive. It will eventually go out. The same is true of a movement. It is true in some ways of our faith and of a church or ministry. If you know what was happening in the first 2 chapters of Acts then you know...
