What We Get Out Of Giving
What do you give to? To others...the church, your friends, family? And when you do give to othrs...does it make you happy or does your heart lean to just not giving and keeping for yourself? Jesus tells us to be cheerful givers...what in the world does that mean?

What We Get Out Of Giving
Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.
2 Corinthians 9:6 NLT
What you keep is all you have. But what you sow, God multiplies.
It’s A Matter Of A Mindset When It Comes To Giving
1. It’s all ________ me and ________ me.
Then someone called from the crowd, “Teacher, please tell my brother to divide our father’s estate with me.” 14 Jesus replied, “Friend, who made me a judge over you to decide such things as that?” 15 Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.” Luke12:14-15NLT
2. The _________ and ___________ belongs to God.
Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine. Proverbs 3:9-10 NLT
3. I’m a ______________ sacrifice.
Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed? Luke 9:23-25 NLT
It’s A Choice To Be A Happy Giver
Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.
2 Corinthians9:6-8NLT
kardia: the center and seat of spiritual life; the fountain from which your thoughts, passions, desires, appetites, and affections flow; the soul
“The most important thing in your life is not what you do;
it’s who you become.” - Dallas Willard (was an American philosopher)
And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.” 2 Corinthians 9:8-9 NLT
For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. 2 Corinthians9:10 NLT
