“Come stay in my home” Acts 16:6-15

Lessons from Lydia God Led Persuaded Clear Need Accepted the Blessing Gave in Return Did not Take Advantage

We need VIP providers – persons who will lift up our arms financially for the ministry to which God has called us.

“At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus” Luke 16:19-31

Keep our concept of faith greater/more important than love for money.

Money is a wonderful servant, a terrible master, and an abominable God.

Keep our concern for other people

“It is very fashionable to talk about the poor… unfortunately it is not as fashionable to talk to the poor.” - Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Keep your connection to our God

There is a weakness of wealth or having wealth and there is also a strength of poverty.

The Lord is the Maker of us all
