Giving And Receiving

Contributed by Steve Woods (Pastor Woody) on Mar 18, 2019

It is important for all of us to know exactly where our gifts come from and who has given them to us.

Just a few short weeks ago, my girlfriend and I were out and about. We were on the bike and just enjoying the Florida sunshine. At one point in Boca, we pulled up to a red-light and saw an older gentleman standing there with a “Please Help” sign. Feeling moved by The Holy Spirit, I reached into my ...read more

The Grace Of Giving Series

Contributed by Donald Mcculley on Mar 20, 2019

Paul teaches us that giving in an act of grace. God’s grace motivates a heart to give.

THE GRACE OF GIVING II CORINTHIANS 8:1-24 INTRODUCTION: When it comes to giving, some people stop at nothing! Is your pocketbook converted? You can tell a lot about a person just by the way they handle their money. It is grace that births giving. How’s grace working in you? The Corinthian ...read more

Jesus And Giving Series

Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Nov 11, 2020

Today we will turn to examine what Jesus had to say about giving. And we will ask what giving looked like to Jesus. The passage in Luke 14:15-33 is considered one of the "Hard Sayings of Jesus". And indeed, it takes a bit of explanation to make sense of it.

Jesus and Giving Text: Luke 14:15-33 Luke 14:25-33 (NIV) 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my ...read more

Giving Honor Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 2, 2021

David chose to invite Mephibosheth to the king's table and took care of all his needs. Why would he do this and what can we learn from his example? Check out these thoughts from Scott Jewell, our Family Minister.

We’ve been looking at a number of “children’s stories” from the Bible this summer. I finally get a turn to share what has become one of my favorite stories because of how it’s been connected to the week of church camp at the Ark, where Jeff and I have been faculty. I’ll talk more about that ...read more

The Joy Of Giving Series

Contributed by Jason Grubbs on Feb 2, 2020

When we give, we partner with others who preach the Gospel, we plant seeds that result in blessing, and we praise God for the gift of salvation. God wants us to give because we want to, not because we have to. We should give out of the joy of our hearts for all that God has done for us.

The Joy of Giving Philippians 4:14-19 Introduction: Anytime you teach or preach on money, it can get touchy. Jesus talked about money more than any other subject, so don’t get upset with me for talking about it today. It is the next text in our series on Philippians so I am just following ...read more

Giving Generously Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 14, 2023

You cannot out give God. You will never be able to match his matchless giving. But we can respond to his perfect gift of salvation in Jesus Christ by generous giving.

How do we transform our lives in the area of prayer and spiritual awakening? Well, the answer is found from a thorough study of revival in the Bible. When you do this study, you will find a connection between spiritual awaking of God’s people and giving. I want to point to examples in the Bible ...read more

Giving Obediently Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 20, 2023

Our obedience in giving equates to our love for God. We are to acknowledge God’s ownership of everything. This requires faith because we believe that God will provide our needs. We give a tithe to God and he will supply with the remaining ninety percent.

This is a very serious look at giving since the opposite of obedience to God is disobedience. There is no neutral ground between obedience to God and disobedience to God. “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you ...read more

Giving And The Prophets Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 15, 2023

If we ask, what is the minimum standard we can give to the Lord and still be OK? then it reveals a problem in our relationship with the Lord. We find joy in giving abundantly.

In many areas of life, we find minimum standards. There are minimum daily requirements of vitamins. There are minimum speed limits on the interstate. You probably remember a time in your student life when a paper was assigned and the first question a student asked was, what is the minimum number ...read more

Never Give In

Contributed by Mike Bryant on Jan 11, 2024

Churchill famously urged, "Never give in," a vital attitude for Christians. In Phil 3:12-16, Paul gives us the key to never giving up in our pursuit of the resurrection. That key is that we properly deal with the past, the future, and the present in our lives.

I. Introduction A. It took Winston Churchill 3 years to get through 8th grade because he had trouble learning Latin and consistently finished at the very bottom of his class. Ironically, years later, in the midst of WW2, he was asked to speak at the Oxford University commencement exercises. The ...read more

Giving To Others Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 21, 2024

What would it take to convince you to make time to serve the Lord? What would it take to get you to reprioritize your goals and dreams to no longer be inwardly focused but other focused? In other words what would it take to get you to share the same comfort you have received from Christ with others?

Giving By Faith Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 8, 2023

Our giving, when in the right attitude brings us closer to God. We worship when we give our gifts to God.

God desires us to give our best. This is called giving the first fruits. This means the first agricultural produce of a season, especially when given as an offering to God. It applies to more than agriculture but giving our first and best to God. The idea that God wants us to give Him our best ...read more
