Transformation Church
Pastor Charles Metcalf preached the fourth installment in the “Mo’ Money, Mo’Problems” series at Transformation Church. Pastor Charles spoke on living large from a life and financial stand point. He explained that giving first requires compassion and knowing your source, God.
As always watch the sermon for yourself and see what stand out to you. Sermon notes are below.
Notes
- The need for control always makes you settle for something smaller
- The need for control always kills compassion
- To live large, you have to give large
- Tithing releases God’s unseen protection
- Offerings is anything given to God, to someone in need, above your tithe
- Offerings release God’s unlimited provision
- Sacrificial offerings release God’s unexpected promises
- Your world gets larger at every level
Scripture
Proverbs 11:23-28 The desire of the righteous ends only in good, but the hope of the wicked only in wrath. One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. People curse the one who hoards grain, but they pray God’s blessing on the one who is willing to sell. Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it. Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.
Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and the one who is wise saves lives
Luke chapter 10:30-37 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii[e] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him. ”Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
Isaiah 55:9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Leviticus 27:30 A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord.
