Last week I talked about the need to place our confidence in God and that we need to have a heart of confidence. This week I make the point that although we can't place our ultimate confidence in people, we can still have confidence in them. I finish with our need to persevere in confidence.
I'M CONFIDENT OF THAT (part two) Last week I started out by asking what are you basing your confidence in. We read the story of Sennacherib king of Assyria attacking Hezekiah king of Judah. Sennacherib was certain he would defeat the smaller army of Judah. He taunted them saying their god ...read more

A lot of us are reluctant to preach on giving. Churches are often criticized for their financial appeals, yet giving is an act of discipleship, devotion, and worship.

The Corinthians were materially rich but miserly in their giving. All of us need to learn that “God love a cheerful giver!”
LEARNING HOW TO GIVE II CORINTHIANS 9:1-15 INTRODUCTION: Call on a Methodist to pray and he’ll say, “Here’s $50.” Call on a Baptist for $50 and he’ll say “Let’s pray!” Our action toward giving is good but we, also, need a right attitude when we give.

A faith promise prioritizes our faith, it is a sign of our trust and faith in God, and it decreases our faith in money and increases our faith in God. When we make our commitments, God doesn’t want us to do so out of guilt, compulsion, or fear from our love for Him, for His people, for His church.

Why does God put such an emphasis on giving? He makes you promises of what He'll do if you give cheerfully and generously... but why would He do that?
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:5-15
