The "Us" In Generous
Pastor: Jonathan Glisson Series: Generous Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:17–19
Introduction: How much money do you need to be Rich? How much money do you need to be Generous? A life marked by Generosity is not just for “Them”, it’s for “Us”.
Steps toward Generosity
01. Embrace that You are Rich (I Timothy 6:17a)
02. Eliminate your Liabilities (I Timothy 6:17b)
- The Pride of Prosperity: “I am a self-made person”
- The Peril of Misplaced Faith: Is your hope in your provision or in your Provider?
- The Principle of the “Upgrade”: The more you Have, the more you Want
03. Embezzle from Your Impermanent Wealth (I Timothy 6:18, Mark 12:41-44)
- Priority: Giving God what is already His
- Percentage: In God’s Economy, % > $
- Progressive: The more God Gives, the more He Expects
04. Endorse in God’s Investment Opportunity (I Timothy 6:19)
We don’t get credit for what we Leave, because everybody leaves the same- Everything. We get credit for what we Give.
Application: What do I currently give?- Is it a priority? What’s the percentage? Is it progressive? Where is my investment secured?
