The Best God Has
John 3:16 Monte T. Brown
November 16, 2008 Sunday Morning
Heart O the Hills
Introduction
God owns the cattle on a thousand hills; he owns the gold and silver of the world.
The collections of his precious stones are as the sands of the seas.
His home has streets of gold and walls of jasper!
The universe is as his command.
The beast of the field’s lye down at his feet!
The winds stop at the sound of his voice.
The raging waves of the sea lick his feet.
So with all this, what is “The Best That God Has”?
He has created all things and nothing is over him!
Yet in all his glory and all his greatness he took time to create mankind.
• A creation above all his creations!
• A creation he loves best!
• A creation he made in his own likeness!
• A creation that has a free will!
Of all the things that God has and will ever create, nothing does he love more.
Why? God so loves mankind that he gave his only begotten Son.
What greater gift could have been given?
What greater love, could have been shown?
Yet the The Best That God Has does not give back the best it has!
It seems that “The Best That God Has” gives to God out of their surplus!
We serve him from leftovers.
• If I have time leftover in the morning, I’ll study God’s Word!
• If I have time leftover at the end of the day I’ll pray!
• If I have time leftover this week I’ll visit for God!
• If I have time leftover this weekend, I’ll go to church!
Yes we truly serve God with leftovers.
We feed our physical bodies three hot meals a day and our spiritual bodies one meal a week.
The Best That God Has is what we give back to him.
THE BEST THAT GOD HAS IS WHAT WE GIVE BACK TO HIM!
• In Our Lives
• In Our Praises
• In Our Prayers
• In Our Tithes
• In Our Giving
• In Our Souls
