There is a little bit of Scrooge in all of us. GENEROSITY is the best cure for a Heart-cold It must flow OUTWARDLY: “I will bless you and you will be a blessing to others.” Gen 12 When we bless others, we feel God’s presence flow It must flow FAITHFULLY: Give us today our daily bread. Matthew 6:11 When we bless others, we trust God with our present It must flow CONFIDENTLY: “Give your life away and you’ll find your life given back. But not merely given back. Given back with bonus and blessing.” Lke 6:38 When we bless others, we trust God with our future It must flow CONSISTENTLY: “Much is required from those to whom much is given. For their responsibility is greater.” Luke 12 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Matthew 25:15 When we bless others, we are being transformed. Sermon Notes: Sermon Notes 12.28.14 First Christmas Sermon Slides: The Blessed Life 12.28.14 PODCAST: 4 Laws of a Blessed Church 12.28.14e
