A Generous Heart God’s Whose is it?Whose is it?

A Generous Heart Psalm 50:8-13

A Generous Heart I don't find fault with your acts of worship, the frequent burnt sacrifices you offer. But why should I want your blue-ribbon bull, or more and more goats from your herds? Every creature in the forest is mine, the wild animals on all the mountains. I know every mountain bird by name; the scampering field mice are my friends. If I get hungry, do you think I'd tell you? All creation and its bounty are mine.

A Generous Heart

I want each of you to take plenty of time to think it over and make up your mind what you will give. 2 Corinthians 9:7

A Generous Heart 1.Not a regulated activity 2.Emerges from intimacy not law 3.I love You, thank You 4.I want to give You something before I steward the rest

A Generous Heart Giving Is not about how Is not about how much

A Generous Heart It is not about how much Jesus sat down to watch the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. Jesus said, “This poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.” Mark 12:41-44

A Generous Heart Giving Is not about how Is not about how much Is not about the need

A Generous Heart Giving Is not about how Is not about how much Is not about the need Is not about reward Is not even about God But it is All about you

A Generous Heart Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart is also.” Matthew 6: 19-21
