10. As We Prosper
1Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also. 2On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come. (I Corinthians 16:1-2)

11. Seek To Excel
But just as you abound in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the love we inspired in you, see that you abound in this gracious work also. (II Corinthians 8:7)

12. Not really all that difficult
Sow Bountifully
Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. (II Corinthians 9:6)
Not really all that difficult

20. DON’T TOUCH MY FRIES

21. What He Realized… He was the source/supplier of the french fries.
He gave his son more than he was expecting.
He was powerful enough to take every fry away if he wanted to.

22. He could go back to the counter and bring enough fries to cover him in fries.
He didn’t need his fries. He could go get as many fries as he wanted.
He didn’t need a couple of fries, he wanted his son to be willing to share the very blessings he had provided.

23. God gives us all these french fries and we sit around saying,

24. those are mine!

26. If you really think something belongs to you, die and try to keep someone else from taking it!

27. In the Old Testament God asked His people to give a tithe and He would bless them for it.

28. A tithe is nothing more than a penny out of a dime, or a dime out of a dollar.

29. If God sat you at a table and gave you 10 dimes what would cause you to say no if God asked for one back?

31. MINE, MINE!

32. Either…

33. Either…
things or
God!

34. (Luke 16:13b)

35. Would you pass the fries please?
