[1450.22 --> 1451.22] with a guy named |
[1451.22 --> 1453.04] Jordan Birch. |
[1453.14 --> 1453.74] He actually used to |
[1453.74 --> 1454.36] worship with us |
[1454.36 --> 1455.46] and now he fled |
[1455.46 --> 1456.02] for the island |
[1456.02 --> 1456.82] for cheaper housing. |
[1456.90 --> 1457.30] I'm just kidding, |
[1457.38 --> 1458.06] his family lives there. |
[1458.84 --> 1460.18] And God has just given |
[1460.18 --> 1461.26] this guy a lot of wisdom |
[1461.26 --> 1461.70] on money. |
[1461.78 --> 1462.34] And if you want to listen |
[1462.34 --> 1462.92] to his podcast, |
[1463.08 --> 1463.62] you can look it up |
[1463.62 --> 1464.68] in our Hope podcast. |
[1465.20 --> 1466.18] But he was just sharing |
[1466.18 --> 1467.64] about what God was teaching him |
[1467.64 --> 1468.70] and how he's trying to live |
[1468.70 --> 1469.80] and then he gave this principle, |
[1469.96 --> 1470.64] which is a very |
[1470.64 --> 1471.38] biblical principle |
[1471.38 --> 1472.60] and it's just stuck with me |
[1472.60 --> 1473.58] and it's on the screen here. |
[1474.60 --> 1475.40] Very simple, |
[1475.40 --> 1476.56] very true. |
[1477.16 --> 1478.22] If you are generous |
[1478.22 --> 1478.86] with little, |
[1479.06 --> 1479.78] you will be generous |
[1479.78 --> 1480.44] with much. |
[1481.00 --> 1482.02] If you are not generous |
[1482.02 --> 1482.56] with little, |
[1483.04 --> 1484.12] you will not be generous |
[1484.12 --> 1484.74] with much. |
[1485.40 --> 1486.26] Tell me I'm wrong. |
[1487.94 --> 1488.72] And so I want to say |
[1488.72 --> 1489.86] to every one of us |
[1489.86 --> 1491.30] who maybe this morning |
[1491.30 --> 1492.04] might be feeling |
[1492.04 --> 1493.06] pressure financially |
[1493.06 --> 1493.52] because I think |
[1493.52 --> 1494.24] a lot of us are. |
[1495.08 --> 1495.96] You can be generous, |
[1496.44 --> 1497.62] not just with your money, |
[1498.00 --> 1498.96] but with your resources, |
[1499.56 --> 1500.10] your time, |
[1500.26 --> 1501.00] and all the stuff |
[1501.00 --> 1501.94] God has given to you |
[1501.94 --> 1502.54] to steward. |
[1503.22 --> 1504.04] You can be generous |
[1504.04 --> 1504.54] with little |
[1504.54 --> 1505.46] and also begin |
[1505.46 --> 1505.96] to pray |
[1505.96 --> 1507.46] that should you have much, |
[1507.52 --> 1508.46] you will also be generous |
[1508.46 --> 1508.90] with much |
[1508.90 --> 1509.40] because I think |
[1509.40 --> 1510.00] it's a practice |
[1510.00 --> 1510.94] we learn |
[1510.94 --> 1511.84] when we're young. |
[1512.66 --> 1512.84] You know, |
[1512.88 --> 1513.24] one of the things |
[1513.24 --> 1514.04] I give thanks for |
[1514.04 --> 1514.92] is I have parents |
[1514.92 --> 1516.26] who forced me to give. |
[1516.94 --> 1517.96] When I got my first job, |
[1518.02 --> 1518.40] which was like |
[1518.40 --> 1519.56] way back in grade seven, |
[1519.96 --> 1520.70] my mom would |
[1520.70 --> 1521.62] fastidiously |
[1521.62 --> 1522.54] go through my income |
[1522.54 --> 1522.98] with me |
[1522.98 --> 1523.66] and teach me |
[1523.66 --> 1524.10] how to write |
[1524.10 --> 1525.02] these little thing |
[1525.02 --> 1525.68] called checks |
[1525.68 --> 1526.64] to the church |
[1526.64 --> 1528.34] and I resented it. |
[1529.12 --> 1529.58] I did. |
[1529.58 --> 1531.78] But it trained in me |
[1531.78 --> 1532.84] this practice of giving, |
[1533.00 --> 1533.94] a thing that I needed |
[1533.94 --> 1534.32] to learn |
[1534.32 --> 1535.22] that does not come |
[1535.22 --> 1535.92] naturally to me. |
[1536.00 --> 1536.92] I think I can easily |
[1536.92 --> 1537.88] fall into greed |
[1537.88 --> 1539.48] and upward mobility thinking |
[1539.48 --> 1540.06] and jealousy |
[1540.06 --> 1541.28] towards those who have more |
[1541.28 --> 1542.24] and this practice |
[1542.24 --> 1542.84] of generosity |
[1542.84 --> 1543.88] breaks it slowly. |
[1544.72 --> 1545.42] God uses it, |
[1545.46 --> 1547.14] but you start that small. |
[1547.56 --> 1548.58] You start that young. |
[1548.68 --> 1549.08] And parents, |
[1549.18 --> 1549.78] let me just say, |
[1550.26 --> 1551.26] teach your kids young |
[1551.26 --> 1551.98] how to give |
