A sermon on the attitude, motive and discipline of giving for the glory of God. The sermon covers three truths: to show gratitude to God, to support the church, and to be disciplined in giving. It also provides illustrations and biblical references for each truth. This is the mystery and the miracle of the breakthrough power and presence of God when we worship! When we worship, we affirm the truth of God's Word, and it is being rooted deep in our hearts. When I was 11 years old, the Jesus Movement was taking hold in my hometown of El Paso, Texas. The church I attended began to be filled with long Commentary Make sacrifices that please God. In this passage, we see four sacrifices that you can make in response to Jesus' sacrifice for you:. 1. Sacrifice of your lips. The writer of Hebrews says, 'Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise - the fruit of lips that confess his name… for with such sacrifices God is pleased' (Hebrews 13:15-16). Testifying Power. Verse 24: "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner." In other words, "Join us in blasphemy, or we'll excommunicate you out of the synagogue." That's what I'm praying he'll do to you in the next five minutes of this sermon. He is after you. He is going to find you. That's why you're here THE POWER BEHIND GIVING AND TITHING—OUTLINE by Daniel A. Brown, PhD One of the lessons we have to keep learning is that God's ways and thoughts are not like ours. Our natural tendencies incline us to act and to think opposite from how God does. The Courage to Sacrifice (Phil. 1:18-30): Through Jesus, we can have "great hearts" with courage to sacrifice. The Beauty of Sacrifice (Phil. 2:1-11): Jesus sets the ultimate beautiful example of a life of sacrifice for others. Sent to Sacrifice (Phil 2:19-30): The sacrificial life is connected to Jesus sending you. The 4 Types of Giving. Here are the four types of giving according to the Bible: 1. Tithes. Tithes often get confused with offerings, but both are very different from each other. According to the Bible, tithes are 10% of your income (Leviticus 27:30), which can't count as an offering. Anything you give more than the required tithe counts as To worship God is to recognize his worth or worthiness; to look God-ward, and to acknowledge in all appropriate ways the value of what we see. The Bible calls this activity "glorifying God" or "giving glory to God," and views it as the ultimate end, and from one point of view, the whole duty of man (Ps. 29:2; 96:6; 1 Cor. 10:31). So be sure to follow up the next few weeks for additional sermons for Thanksgiving. 7. "Count It All Joy". From Brian Houston, senior pastor at Hillsong Church. 8. "Start a Lifestyle of Being Thankful". From Francis Chan, teaching pastor of Cornerstone Community Church and founder of Eternity Bible College. 9. 7WoO.
