Crossing the Line
My Mornings with Jesus and Joe
Sometimes we draw a line in the sand by saying “No, I’m not going to be a part of that.” And sometimes it’s a good choice to make. Ex. John 8 “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 But when they heard it, they went away one by one, It’s a bad thing though when it means not doing something we are called or commissioned to do by God through His Word. What are some of the things God commands us to do: Care for widows and orphans. James 1:27 to visit orphans and widows in...

Worshipping Like Isaiah
My Mornings with Jesus and Joe
WORSHIP 6 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” 4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with...

info_outlineFinancial Stewardship Part 2
Last week we discussed 4 basic points about money
1. Money is dangerous
2. Money is limited
3. Money is valuable
4. Money is like water
And we must remember this one thing
Its all God's anyway, God is the owner and we are the managers!
This week we will discuss 4 principles associated with money and financial
stewardship
1. Give faithfully (Proverbs 22:4)
We are not to let appetite and anxiety rule us
We should trust God (Proverbs 3:9)
2. Work diligently (Proverbs 10:4)
Don’t be a sluggard (Proverbs 6:6-11, 13:4, 22.29)
He doesn't start things
He doesn’t finish things
He doesn’t have things
3. Save consistently (Proverbs 13:11)
Start small and it will grow over time – just start
We need to practice delayed gratification
Learn how to handle money – get help
Givers are the happiest people!
(2 Corinthians 9:7) and they trust God and walk in true joy
4. Live humbly (Proverbs 12:9)
Keep your standard of living low
This allows you to build margin, keep your expenses lower than income
INCREASE YOUR STANDARD OF GIVING BEFORE YOU INCREASE YOUR
STANDAR OF LIVING!
(Acts 20:35)
(2 Corinthians 8:2)
Wealth is a gift from God designed to flow through us to others!
When we do this right, we are a conduit allowing the flow through us!
What a witness this is to those around us, they get to see the blessings flow
to us and then through us!
Another discussion that usual comes up when giving is talked about is how much
How much should I give?
The old testament mentions to tithe or 10 % (Malachi 3:10)
But now we are living in the New Testament, and it does not say….
The point is that the law or the Old Testament does say to tithe or 10%, and
the New Testament is grace, and grace is always more that the law! So why limit
God to only 10%???
