Outline
II Corinthians
Introduction:
Scripture has more to say about money than about heaven and hell combined.
Transition:
Look with me in Scripture at those givers who were blessed. Not every giver is blessed.
I. The Measured Giver Is Blessed (II Cor 9.7a)
II. The Cheerful Giver Is Blessed (II Cor 9.7b)
III. The Seeking Giver Is Blessed (II Cor. 9:8; Matt. 6:33)
IV. The Sacrificial Giver Is Blessed (Mk. 12:41-44; II Cor. 8:2,9)
Conclusion:
What do we discover is this battle between “giving and keeping”?
1. We reap in proportion to what we sow.
2. We are to keep our priorities in life.
3. Giving is an indicator of the heart.
4. Giving is a matter of how much we keep.
Application:
How Do You Give?
