    Is it is always right to give to those who ask without asking questions? Is there ever a time when it is right to pass by on the other side? Do we have the courage to be honest with ourselves when our beliefs and practise are in conflict with each other

    6.2.11 GOOD SAMARITAN Lk 10:25-37 INTRO Afghanistan: Recently we heard the story of how Private Martin Bell, 24, of 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, was fatally wounded as he attempted to reach a comrade who had been injured in an explosion.

    The woman with the alabaster box demonstrates a lesson in extravagant giving.

    Introduction: A Story B Matthew 26:6-16 A This account is found in 3 gospels (Matthew, Mark, & John) and from the three we see the story unfold with greater detail. 1 Jesus is in Bethany, the house of Simon the Leaper (Jn. 14.3), apparently whom Jesus had healed.

    It isn’t how much you give to the work of the church that matters. It is how much you keep for yourself that concerns God.

    Mark 12: 38 – 44 / More Than All Intro: In 1975 I assumed my duties as the pastor of Memorial Presbyterian church in South Bend, Indiana. It was a unique ethnic congregation with many customs and traditions. One such “tradition” was the publishing of the annual “Scandal Sheet of Giving.” --- A ...read more

    Ananias and Saphira were right to equate giving with spirituality, but wrong to think giving was a substitute for spirituality.

    “Truth and Consequences”(Ananius & Sapphira) Acts Rev Dr Robert G. Leroe Have you ever kept a gift that you had planned to give away? Acts 5 tells of such a gift. This incident reveals that even in the earliest days of the Church, New Testament believers were not a society of perfect people. ...read more

    This message on giving encourages believers to share, reap, and share some more because of our freedom in Christ.

    Freedom’s Harvest (Galatians 6:6-10) On the wall of President Lyndon Johnson’s White House office hung a framed letter written by General Sam Houston to Johnson’s great-grandfather, Baines, more than 100 years earlier.

     | 5,090 views

    This message looks at 3 different times that Jesus commended people for what they gave.

    Everyone enjoys being recognized for the good they have accomplished even if they do the “No really, you don’t have to” thing. They enjoy being thanked and acknowledged for what they’ve done, maybe not publically but people want to know they have made a difference in their world. The scripture ...read more

    Why was the story of the widow's lepta so very important to the early Church, and to Christ?

    32nd Sunday in Course 2012 Verbum Domini Giving All Most of the stories the Holy Spirit shares with us in the Holy Gospel are stories of what Jesus did, or what he said. Only a few, like this story of the widow’s lepta, are about what he said regarding the actions of another. The actual ...read more

    Paul quotes a proverb that is instructive for believers as they bring their gifts before the Lord.

    “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” [1] “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap ...read more

    When we hear the word giving in church, we often think, here we go again. The church or pastor only wants us to give because he gets more money or looks more successful. The reality is that God wants us to give so we dont trust in money or stuff ahead

    P90X for the Soul Giving 2 Corinthians 8:1-7 Intro Slide Well, we are continuing today in a series we have been calling P90X for your Soul, because P90X is an intense physical workout, and we are seeking to learn and implement some spiritual disciplines into our lives se we can put ourselves in a ...read more

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 8, 2021

     | 7,075 views

    So many people, including some believers are trapped in some sort of bondage. Many are in despair, because they have tried so hard, to give up and break free but are unable to do so. But there is hope for all. Most often it is only knowing the Truth that will set people free!

    Freedom from bondage Chapter 1 – Why should I be free from bondage Act 11:21: “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.” (KJV) Most of us would like to have promises from the Lord for our personal benefit – we desire that the Lord should ...read more

    Just A Little Give And Take

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Feb 29, 2004
    based on 65 ratings
     | 4,317 views

    First Sunday in Lent: Temptation is often the enticement to compromise, to engage in just a bit of ’give and take.’ Jesus would have none of it when satan tempted Him. Nothing would deter Jesus from the Cross.

    The art of the compromise – of give and take – is valued by many people. You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. Watch the consummate politician on campaign trail – they live by give and take. Whey even a good football game starts out as a battle of give and take. One team will fight and ...read more

    How to experience the grace of giving to the Lord.

    I confess that there are some pastors who are afraid to talk about money to their churches. Their motives are right. They are not just comfortable with the topic. So, they would rather invite a guest speaker to talk about giving. However, as your pastor, I believe if I can’t talk to you about ...read more
