Change! Series 5

GENEROUS HEART Reading MAT 6:19-24

Another Way of Saying... Change Your Heart!

According to Jesus: Treasure is... A Banking Problem: v.19 A Security Problem: v.20 A Heart Problem: v.21 An Eye Problem: v22-23 A Lordship Problem: v.24

We need G-Heart Surgery! Greed Grace Generosity

Greed > > Mat 23:25 “.. hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. Luk 12:15.."Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.“

Greed > > Eph 5:3 But among you there must not be even a hint of.. any kind of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Col 3:5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.

Grace > > 2Co 8:1 And now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. 2 Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. 2Co 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.

Generosity > > 2Co 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2Co 9:11 You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

Zaccheus Got it! Luk 19:8-9 But Zacchaeus ..said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.“ 9 Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house..

Generosity.. God Gave First.. He counted us worthy! God empowers us: “…remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’ (Act 20:35)

He gave His life, what more could He give? It’s our turn.
