WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.299 Let me just let you know, the first Sunday of the year, I preached a sermon on United 00:00:07.299 --> 00:00:14.599 in our mission, and so our great God is at work making disciples of all nations for His 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:17.719 name's sake, and we get to join Him in that. 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:22.879 Last week, I preached a sermon on United in our gathering from Hebrews 10 of why we need 00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:26.640 to gather together every Sunday after Sunday, and for the next two Sundays, I'm going to 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:33.079 be preaching on United in our generosity, two sermons on giving, and I want to up front 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:38.219 make this shameless plug for this great book, The Treasure Principle. 00:00:38.380 --> 00:00:39.859 It's by Randy Alcorn. 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.799 We have 10 of these available to you out at the Connect desk. 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:50.320 Kelly is going to be sending out in Tuesday's update a link to how you can get this book 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:50.480 to. 00:00:50.579 --> 00:00:56.579 It's 10 bucks, and it's going to be some of the best $10 you spend when it comes to stewarding 00:00:56.579 --> 00:00:59.500 the resources that God has entrusted to you. 00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:12.400 So today, I get to preach on why we give, what's at the heart of Christian generosity, 00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:20.340 and I want to start by reminding you of this guy named Smeagol. 00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:26.600 Smeagol was a happy-go-lucky hobbit of the river folk. 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:27.320 Do you remember him? 00:01:29.420 --> 00:01:32.380 And everything changed when he discovered the ring of power. 00:01:34.980 --> 00:01:40.920 Smeagol was gradually transformed into Gollum. 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.140 Can you see Gollum in your mind's eye? 00:01:47.180 --> 00:01:53.260 In the depths of darkness, not in the light on a river, in the depths of the darkness in 00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:58.079 a cave, squatting on his haunches, his left hand open. 00:01:58.260 --> 00:02:00.060 In his left hand is the ring of power. 00:02:00.379 --> 00:02:01.760 And you remember what he's doing with his right hand? 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.480 Caressing that ring. 00:02:05.980 --> 00:02:07.520 You know what he says. 00:02:08.340 --> 00:02:09.700 My precious. 00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:18.120 It's a really powerful picture of what happens when we worship false gods. 00:02:20.659 --> 00:02:25.180 We're transformed into something we don't want to be. 00:02:25.180 --> 00:02:37.340 What the ring of power was to Gollum, the love of money is to us. 00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:39.620 It's a my precious. 00:02:42.180 --> 00:02:44.740 And it can unform us. 00:02:47.020 --> 00:02:52.640 According to our Bibles, it's not money, but it's the love of money. 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.139 That's the root of all evils. 00:02:57.399 --> 00:02:59.139 Let's call it the Gollum effect. 00:03:01.119 --> 00:03:04.339 That the love of money dulls your spiritual senses. 00:03:04.819 --> 00:03:06.319 It diminishes your outlook. 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:07.559 And here's what I mean by that. 00:03:08.659 --> 00:03:09.979 Do you remember the dot and the line? 00:03:10.859 --> 00:03:12.039 The line is eternity. 00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:16.799 And we are a 70 to 80 year dot on the line of eternity. 00:03:17.239 --> 00:03:18.739 And here's what the love of money does. 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.139 It makes you myopic. 00:03:21.139 --> 00:03:23.279 It's spiritual myopia. 00:03:24.179 --> 00:03:29.939 It's where you think that all that there is is a 70 to 80 years. 00:03:31.019 --> 00:03:32.379 Eat, drink, and be merry. 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:42.799 The love of money distracts us from the riches of God's grace. 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.919 The love of money deadens us to the needs of others. 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:54.039 The love of money denies that Jesus is the greatest treasure of all. 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.319 It usurps his place. 00:03:59.500 --> 00:04:08.379 The unchecked love of money will result in spiritual drift in even potential apostasy. 00:04:08.379 --> 00:04:11.000 We'll see that in just a second. 00:04:12.460 --> 00:04:19.579 And what we all know living in this culture is that the love of money, greed, is a temptation common to man. 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:24.839 Being a 21st century American, this is so common. 00:04:24.980 --> 00:04:26.839 It's the air that we breathe. 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.699 It's in all the commercials we tend to see. 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.879 Gordon Gekko in the 1987 movie, Wall Street, said it this way. 00:04:37.719 --> 00:04:38.539 Greed is good. 00:04:40.579 --> 00:04:42.419 But God doesn't say greed is good. 00:04:45.059 --> 00:04:48.399 The God of the Bible says that the love of money is evil and destructive. 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:56.759 So at the outset of the sermon, I need to help you to see that. 00:04:58.659 --> 00:05:04.519 Let me just give you some choice passages from the New Testament that speak of the love of money. 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:12.199 In Hebrews 13.5, this is on page 1197 of your pew Bible, we read this. 00:05:12.719 --> 00:05:16.519 Keep your life free from the love of money and be content with what you have. 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:24.699 2 Timothy chapter 3, verses 1 and 2, 1182 of your pew Bible. 00:05:25.139 --> 00:05:28.639 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:33.359 For people will be lovers of themselves and lovers of money. 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:34.959 On and on and on. 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:41.419 In 1 Timothy 6, we read this. 00:05:41.939 --> 00:05:42.639 6.6. 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.339 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.359 For we brought nothing into the world and we cannot take anything out of the world. 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.679 But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. 00:05:51.859 --> 00:05:57.579 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires 00:05:57.579 --> 00:06:00.039 that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 00:06:00.419 --> 00:06:03.419 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. 00:06:03.739 --> 00:06:07.659 It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith 00:06:07.659 --> 00:06:11.959 and pierced themselves with many pangs. 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:16.139 If we go on into Luke. 00:06:18.019 --> 00:06:19.299 This is Jesus speaking. 00:06:21.239 --> 00:06:22.500 Luke 12.15. 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:23.299 Jesus says, 00:06:23.419 --> 00:06:26.419 Take care and be on your guard against all covetousness, love of money. 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.819 For one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. 00:06:30.819 --> 00:06:31.019 Friends. 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:37.139 When we get into the greatest sermon ever preached, the Sermon on the Mount, 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.439 Jesus says this in Matthew 6, 19-21. 00:06:40.599 --> 00:06:40.939 He says, 00:06:40.939 --> 00:06:46.600 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:52.560 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:58.659 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also on heaven or on earth. 00:06:58.660 --> 00:07:02.620 No one can serve two masters, verse 24. 00:07:03.340 --> 00:07:08.200 For either he will hate the one and love the other or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:09.980 You cannot serve God and money. 00:07:10.060 --> 00:07:12.540 You cannot be a steward of both God and money. 00:07:17.200 --> 00:07:21.040 Don't let the love of money golemize you. 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:51.020 Don't let the love of money golemize you. 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:51.400 Don't let the love of God golemize you. 00:07:51.400 --> 00:07:55.660 Don't let the love of God, let the love of our possessions say this is mine and it changes us to being open-handed. 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:57.280 This is God's. 00:08:00.140 --> 00:08:12.020 It moves us from being afraid of our futures and hoarding all we can to trusting in God's promises for our future. 00:08:12.019 --> 00:08:16.680 and where I want to help you see this from 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:19.620 is in Proverbs chapter 3 00:08:19.620 --> 00:08:21.319 verses 9 and 10 00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:22.599 let me read it for you 00:08:22.599 --> 00:08:26.259 this is ancient wisdom 00:08:26.259 --> 00:08:30.659 and it is so applicable today 00:08:30.659 --> 00:08:32.600 we read this 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:35.519 honor the Lord with your wealth 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.460 and with the first fruits of all your produce 00:08:38.460 --> 00:08:40.899 then your barns will be filled with plenty 00:08:40.899 --> 00:08:42.899 and your vats will be bursting with wine 00:08:42.899 --> 00:08:45.459 so this morning I want to give you three reasons 00:08:45.459 --> 00:08:47.639 why we are to be generous 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.519 I'm not telling this morning 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.259 it's not how to be generous 00:08:52.259 --> 00:08:53.699 that's next week 00:08:53.699 --> 00:08:56.539 this morning is why be generous 00:08:56.539 --> 00:08:58.120 and here are three reasons 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.699 the gospel's changed our hearts 00:09:01.699 --> 00:09:05.919 it's now about God's glory 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.179 second reason 00:09:09.179 --> 00:09:11.719 we think about ourselves differently 00:09:11.719 --> 00:09:12.620 we have a new mindset 00:09:12.620 --> 00:09:14.959 not as owners 00:09:14.959 --> 00:09:17.359 God's stewards 00:09:17.359 --> 00:09:19.919 and finally 00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:20.739 the hope 00:09:20.739 --> 00:09:22.219 of our generosity 00:09:22.219 --> 00:09:25.379 is not all that we can accumulate 00:09:25.379 --> 00:09:26.939 it's in God's promises 00:09:26.939 --> 00:09:30.079 so the three reasons 00:09:30.079 --> 00:09:31.459 we're going to look at this morning 00:09:31.459 --> 00:09:34.439 is that the gospel has so changed us 00:09:34.439 --> 00:09:36.219 now we live out our 00:09:36.220 --> 00:09:37.560 financial stewardship 00:09:37.560 --> 00:09:38.680 for God's glory 00:09:38.680 --> 00:09:39.860 as God's stewards 00:09:39.860 --> 00:09:41.500 trusting in God's promises 00:09:41.500 --> 00:09:44.620 let's dive in 00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:46.580 the heart 00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:48.279 of generosity 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:51.480 is centered on God's glory 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.560 did you see 00:09:53.560 --> 00:09:55.399 honor the Lord with your wealth 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:57.060 in Proverbs 3 9 00:09:57.060 --> 00:09:58.000 it's on page 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.620 I move forward 00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:02.440 it's on page 6 27 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:03.480 of your pew bible 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.279 honor the Lord 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:06.159 with your wealth 00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:09.899 the Christless 00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:11.300 Americanized version 00:10:11.300 --> 00:10:12.159 of this verse 00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:12.920 goes like this 00:10:12.920 --> 00:10:14.519 it's not honor God 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:15.120 with your wealth 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:16.539 it's honor yourself 00:10:16.539 --> 00:10:17.539 with your wealth 00:10:17.539 --> 00:10:21.240 give yourself 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:22.759 the worth 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.100 worship yourself 00:10:26.100 --> 00:10:26.860 with your money 00:10:26.860 --> 00:10:30.680 that word 00:10:30.680 --> 00:10:31.100 honor 00:10:31.100 --> 00:10:32.700 is the verbal form 00:10:32.700 --> 00:10:33.680 of a Hebrew word 00:10:33.680 --> 00:10:34.580 kabod 00:10:34.580 --> 00:10:36.639 and that word 00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:38.180 means to give weight 00:10:38.180 --> 00:10:38.840 to something 00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:39.620 to take something 00:10:39.620 --> 00:10:40.500 seriously 00:10:40.500 --> 00:10:41.659 it's the word 00:10:41.659 --> 00:10:43.000 we would use to say 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:44.560 to glorify 00:10:44.560 --> 00:10:45.139 something 00:10:45.139 --> 00:10:46.379 to give glory 00:10:46.379 --> 00:10:46.940 to something 00:10:46.940 --> 00:10:48.779 it's another way 00:10:48.779 --> 00:10:49.560 of talking about 00:10:49.560 --> 00:10:50.960 worship 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:53.340 to glorify God 00:10:53.340 --> 00:10:53.860 with your wealth 00:10:53.860 --> 00:10:54.980 to worship the Lord 00:10:54.980 --> 00:10:55.820 with your wealth 00:10:55.820 --> 00:11:00.980 in order for us 00:11:00.980 --> 00:11:03.100 to honor 00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:04.000 and glorify 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:04.660 God 00:11:04.660 --> 00:11:06.000 with our wealth 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.160 we must 00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:09.040 value 00:11:09.040 --> 00:11:09.800 God 00:11:09.800 --> 00:11:10.400 more 00:11:10.400 --> 00:11:11.500 than our wealth 00:11:11.500 --> 00:11:16.500 and the question is 00:11:16.500 --> 00:11:19.200 why 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.360 why honor him 00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:22.100 above our wealth 00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:23.500 why honor him 00:11:23.500 --> 00:11:24.140 with our wealth 00:11:24.139 --> 00:11:26.299 well 00:11:26.299 --> 00:11:26.659 it's 00:11:26.659 --> 00:11:28.139 because of who he is 00:11:28.139 --> 00:11:30.019 that word 00:11:30.019 --> 00:11:30.480 Lord 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.379 in verse 9 00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:33.600 honor the Lord 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:34.059 you'll notice 00:11:34.059 --> 00:11:35.019 it's all capitalized 00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:35.500 all the letters 00:11:35.500 --> 00:11:36.080 are capitalized 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.000 that's signaling 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:37.419 to you 00:11:37.419 --> 00:11:37.919 that
