[3402.46 --> 3404.46] Let's give a warm aware of applause for our worshipers. |
[3404.46 --> 3413.52] before we receive God's blessing I want to invite you to two things |
[3413.52 --> 3418.10] the first is as was said so well behind the microphone if you've got room for |
[3418.10 --> 3422.30] three you've got room for four it's Thanksgiving weekend you know of |
[3422.30 --> 3426.24] someone who might need a seat around your table so please invite them to |
[3426.24 --> 3429.58] join you for a meal so that we can enjoy the gift of Thanksgiving together |
[3429.58 --> 3434.42] and not alone but secondly I want to say a few words about money we've been |
[3434.42 --> 3438.62] talking about money during the sermon and I'm going to use this $100 bill as a |
[3438.62 --> 3443.12] very effective illustration a teacher of mine once said this too there's three |
[3443.12 --> 3448.80] things we say when we give number one we say thank you Lord for giving me |
[3448.80 --> 3453.18] everything I have you are so generous number two when you give to the church |
[3453.18 --> 3457.10] you're saying I want to get in on what the church is doing and there's a lot of |
[3457.10 --> 3460.82] good stuff we are doing one of the things that you can give to this week is our |
[3460.82 --> 3464.40] care fund which we use to meet the needs of people in our city and in our church |
[3464.40 --> 3469.54] in a whole variety of ways but thirdly and maybe this is what we need to hear |
[3469.54 --> 3473.90] the most when we give our money away freely and generously we're saying to our |
[3473.90 --> 3482.54] money you do not own me I belong to God in conversation with some dads about a |
[3482.54 --> 3487.00] month ago we are talking about the practice of tithing and I realized we're all |
[3487.00 --> 3491.50] admitting together that we desire to give we want to give and in fits and spurts we do |
[3491.50 --> 3495.52] give but it's not a regular habit and so what I've said to Linda who's our |
[3495.52 --> 3499.38] bookkeeper who's wonderful by the way and taking care of our books she is going |
[3499.38 --> 3502.88] to be at the giving station where the deacons are and I'm going to encourage |
[3502.88 --> 3508.00] you to ask Linda to show you how to make monthly giving a monthly practice you |
[3508.00 --> 3511.34] can do that through automatic giving you can do that on the church center app but I |
[3511.34 --> 3514.96] want to give the challenge out this morning make giving not just a one-time |
[3514.96 --> 3519.16] thing or a two-time thing but a monthly practice where we learn together to be |
[3519.16 --> 3526.30] generous as a church of Jesus Christ God has blessed us and he now sends us to |
[3526.30 --> 3530.70] be a blessing do you want to receive his blessing I invite you to hold your hands |
[3530.70 --> 3534.02] out to receive a blessing that comes not from me but from your generous heavenly |
[3534.02 --> 3541.80] father the Lord bless you and keep you the Lord make his face shine upon you and be |
[3541.80 --> 3549.56] gracious towards you the Lord turn his face towards you and give you his peace and |
[3549.56 --> 3553.12] together we say amen go in his peace |
[3553.12 --> 3555.12] you |
