Losing My Religion Religion Needs No God

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices- mint, dill and cumin

But you have neglected the more important matters of the law- justice, mercy and faithfulness

You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel" - Matt. 23

God…does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything…

…since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything - Acts 17:24-25

But you have neglected the more important matters of the law- justice, mercy and faithfulness

Justice- oppressed, poor, in need Mercy- compassion for others Faithfulness- committed to God

He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God - Micah 6:8 (LG/LP)

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor

He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed

…to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor” - Jesus, Luke 4

James, Cephas and John, those esteemed as pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me

They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised

All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along - Galatians 2

You give a tenth of your spices- mint, dill and cumin You should have done the former God doesn't need anything

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also… No one can serve two masters - Jesus, Matthew 6

"God richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment "God richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment

...do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share" - 1 Timothy 6

Generosity: Time and Love Prayer and Concern Help and unseen Selflessness Truth and owning choices

Generosity: Money ceases to be security

Generosity: As I manage what God owns God promises to meet My daily needs

Generosity: I own my choices instead of Complaining about not Having anything (God provides)

Generosity: I get to see God use me As a conduit to help others Without worrying about me

Religion: Just tell how much to give The Faith: Spirit-led relationship Leading to life of generosity

God wants more for you Than you want for yourself Begins with letting go Only open hands receive

What do my use of time, attention Money, material possessions Concern for others Say about my heart? What does Christ need to change?

As a church We will make a difference Around the world And in our Valley for Jesus By giving away what Belongs to Jesus
