Sermon Notes: How do I Measure?
April 2, 2023 Pastor Bill Themelaras
The Bible tells us that God created the principle and system of seedtime and harvest. It influences every area of our lives. Everything is a seed—our money, our time, our possessions, our words and actions. Join Apostle Bill for this unique and important Sunday of First Fruits as he teaches on how we measure generosity according to the words of Jesus.
Ezekiel 44:30 ESV
Given at the Beginning: By first fruits offerings, we sanctify our whole life and all we love. (Rom 11:16)

It's a Pattern not Legalism: We honor the King of Kings with the first and the best. Graciously, He honors us! (Heb 11:4)
Hebrews 11:4 NASB
First Fruits is a faith raiser, not a fundraiser.
Mark 4:23-24 ESV
Proportional: The same measure we use for giving is the measure used for increase! (Luke 6:38)

Faith without works is dead.
