    Sacrificial Giving

    Contributed by Greg Yort on Apr 23, 2018
     | 72,226 views

    When we give, not just out of our wealth, but as a sacrifice it counts as a credit with God, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God, that opens up God’s riches to meet our needs.

    Textual Idea Paul praised the Philippians for their sacrificial giving, not as something that he needed, but as a credit to their account with God, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God, that opened up the heavens to meet their needs.

     | 1,402 views

    Paul calls us to holiness and purity and explains all that. Neither are we to defraud one another. He is very direct with the Thessalonians. Sexual sin must not be entertained as it destroys sanctification.

     | 1,340 views

    Paul urges the believers to live correctly for the Lord and gives some practical points. Because a few had died, Paul comforts the church with the truth of the Rapture, a teaching sadly neglected by most. It is the glorious hope.

    MESSAGE 5 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 4 – WALK TO PLEASE GOD AND THE RAPTURE TEACHING – PART 2 We will continue in this chapter and will consider the second Part. Paul has been speaking to these believers about living in persecution and how their lives should be lived. Earlier in the book he told ...read more

    In music the discords set your teeth on edge and make you unable to enjoy the music. An orchestra in harmony is pleasing to listen to and inspiring. Marriages in discord are merely surviving and not thriving.

    Marriage: Discord or Harmony Genesis 2:18-25 “God said, it is not good for man to be alone. I will make a companion who will help him.” (18) God brought all the animals of creation before Adam, but no companion could be found among them. “So the Lord God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. ...read more

    God is infinitely wise and we are not. It pleases Him when we trust His wisdom even when we don’t understand what He is doing.

    In Genesis 37 we are introduced to a young man named Joseph. Joseph lived a charmed life. His father—who was a very rich man—loved Joseph more than any of his other sons.

    I do not believe that God is pleased with the divisions within the Body of Christ that cripple our witness. Where do we draw the line on division and acceptance with one another?

    DIVISION AND UNITY By Pastor Jim May We live in an age when there are great divisions within the church. I have no doubt that I am considered too liberal by some standards, but then there are others, even more liberal than I, who consider me to be too strict and legalistic.
