#“Counter Culture Generosity” (Part 1)
Psalm 50:14
Luke 12:15-21
#1. Preparation “Offer to God…”
PRE is the key.
Lack of preparation will cause you to miss the point.
Consumer Christians miss out on the joy of contribution.
{note}
Three principles of preparation (Luke 12:13-21):
A. Perspective (Luke 12:15)
Until Jesus is enough, no person or thing will ever be.
B. Planning (Luke 12:16-19)
Isaiah 32:8 NLT
C. Purpose (Luke 12:20-21)
{note}
#2. Praise “…a sacrifice of thanksgiving…”
Psalm 118:1 NIV
Gratitude is the gateway to generosity.
PRAISE ANYWAY
Philippians 4:11 ESV – “…I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.”
{note}
In what areas have I already prepared to be generous this year?
How can I prepare to praise God through my gratitude and generosity?
