Charlie’s Challenges: Extras from the sermon: Worship in Giving
Memory verse: Col 3:5
So put to death whatever is worldly in you: sexual immorality,
uncleanness, lust, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry
Before today’s sermon what did you know about the PTL scandal?
Who and what had you heard about Jim Bakker, Jesica Hahn or Bill Hybels? It is funny how people we don’t know can so shape our lives.
Since God is the one who came up with the idea of giving as a part of worship, it is wise to keep giving worshipful and not just church business. How can we do that?
We are always blessed when we give, but not always with more stuff. What are other ways we can be blessed by the act of sacrificial giving?
Trick Question: How often do you use money when compared with how often do we hear Bible teaching about giving? What should we do about this?
Now that you know that greed can be a doorway by which we allow the demonic access to our lives, what do you think you ought to do about that?
Love of stuff, desire for control, and half-hearted faith went together in Ananias’ life. What can we do to keep these out of our lives?
God doesn’t need our money, but we desperately need to give.
Learn to give generously.
Learn to give proportionately.
