[1551.98 --> 1553.42] because we want to train |
[1553.42 --> 1554.30] the next generation |
[1554.30 --> 1555.62] the generosity |
[1555.62 --> 1557.06] that Jesus invites us into |
[1557.06 --> 1558.08] as the church. |
[1560.16 --> 1561.08] To summarize, |
[1562.42 --> 1563.60] in our story, |
[1563.68 --> 1564.82] that is the biblical story, |
[1565.14 --> 1566.42] God owns it all. |
[1566.84 --> 1567.46] Praise the Lord |
[1567.46 --> 1568.14] that there is someone |
[1568.14 --> 1569.08] who is in control |
[1569.08 --> 1570.02] and has ownership |
[1570.02 --> 1570.64] of the world, |
[1570.74 --> 1571.18] our city, |
[1571.46 --> 1571.90] your home, |
[1572.00 --> 1572.48] your stuff, |
[1572.80 --> 1573.38] your finances. |
[1574.48 --> 1575.60] And we turn our hearts |
[1575.60 --> 1576.32] to Him in gratitude. |
[1577.28 --> 1577.90] And this morning |
[1577.90 --> 1578.50] of all mornings, |
[1578.62 --> 1578.96] Thanksgiving, |
[1579.12 --> 1579.38] we say, |
[1579.50 --> 1580.00] thank you God. |
[1580.10 --> 1581.32] You are a generous Father. |
[1581.76 --> 1583.12] You give us every good thing |
[1583.12 --> 1583.80] to be enjoyed |
[1583.80 --> 1584.38] and to be shared. |
[1584.72 --> 1586.46] You are very good to us. |
[1587.84 --> 1588.32] Secondly, |
[1588.92 --> 1591.06] in the center of our story |
[1591.06 --> 1592.76] is Jesus coming |
[1592.76 --> 1594.64] to break the power of sin. |
[1594.72 --> 1595.30] And we've said this |
[1595.30 --> 1595.90] throughout the series |
[1595.90 --> 1597.24] and now we'll focus it on money. |
[1597.80 --> 1598.82] Jesus comes |
[1598.82 --> 1600.18] to free us |
[1600.18 --> 1601.16] from slavery |
[1601.16 --> 1601.94] through the cross. |
[1602.12 --> 1603.32] And that includes |
[1603.32 --> 1605.02] slavery to the idols |
[1605.02 --> 1606.10] worshipped in our culture |
[1606.10 --> 1607.12] and that is mammon, |
[1607.70 --> 1608.20] money, |
[1608.94 --> 1609.46] stuff, |
[1609.84 --> 1610.32] possessions, |
[1610.58 --> 1611.20] consumptions, |
[1611.34 --> 1611.96] and travel. |
[1612.34 --> 1613.04] Jesus came |
[1613.04 --> 1614.48] to break the power of sin |
[1614.48 --> 1615.66] in this church |
[1615.66 --> 1616.96] so that we can learn |
[1616.96 --> 1617.94] the way of discipleship. |
[1618.68 --> 1619.16] That is the way |
[1619.16 --> 1619.72] of simplicity, |
[1620.52 --> 1621.20] the way of gratitude, |
[1621.82 --> 1622.70] the way of generosity, |
[1623.42 --> 1624.18] the way of blessing |
[1624.18 --> 1625.34] with all that God |
[1625.34 --> 1626.16] has given us. |
[1626.78 --> 1627.60] And Jesus says to us |
[1627.60 --> 1628.34] in this passage, |
[1628.86 --> 1630.82] that is how you store up |
[1630.82 --> 1631.30] for yourselves |
[1631.30 --> 1632.70] treasures in heaven. |
[1632.70 --> 1636.82] I'm going to read |
[1636.82 --> 1637.38] a prayer |
[1637.38 --> 1638.44] in closing. |
[1639.24 --> 1640.54] And it's a small adaptation |
[1640.54 --> 1641.66] of what you heard |
[1641.66 --> 1642.28] on that video |
[1642.28 --> 1643.26] earlier in the service. |
[1643.50 --> 1644.52] So would you join me |
[1644.52 --> 1645.06] in this prayer? |
[1648.56 --> 1649.04] Father, |
[1649.14 --> 1649.98] there is nothing |
[1649.98 --> 1651.74] that we have received |
[1651.74 --> 1653.06] that does not come |
[1653.06 --> 1653.48] from you. |
[1654.40 --> 1655.62] All that we have |
[1655.62 --> 1656.28] and are |
[1656.28 --> 1657.74] belongs to you, |
[1658.26 --> 1658.98] bought with your |
[1658.98 --> 1659.86] Son's blood |
[1659.86 --> 1660.98] and we thank you |
[1660.98 --> 1661.44] for it. |
[1662.16 --> 1663.02] To spend everything |
[1663.02 --> 1663.66] on ourselves |
[1663.66 --> 1664.94] and give without sacrifice |
[1664.94 --> 1665.86] is the way |
[1665.86 --> 1666.96] of our world |
[1666.96 --> 1667.98] and the Father |
[1667.98 --> 1669.20] does not abide |
[1669.20 --> 1669.86] in it. |
[1671.34 --> 1671.86] Generosity |
[1671.86 --> 1672.82] is the way |
[1672.82 --> 1673.50] of Christ, |
[1674.22 --> 1675.12] the way of those |
