·Ecclesiastes 5:10-15
Treasure Principle Key: GIVING is the ONLY antidote to materialism.
·1 Timothy 6:17-19
“But since you excel in everything - in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you - see that you also excel in this grace of giving.” 2 Corinthians 8:7 (NIV)
4 Ways to Excel in Giving:
1. Get INSPIRED by others.
2. Pay attention to the NEEDS around you.
3. Trust in God’s PLAN and PROVISION.
Treasure Principle Key: God prospers me not to raise my standard of LIVING, but to raise my standard of GIVING.
4. Consider the GRACE of God.
“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.” 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV)
Takeaway: Discover the JOY of giving.
“For the joy set before him he endured the cross…” Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)
