Giving in Uncertain Times - Pastor Steve McHan

When I compare these three verbs, they each make me feel differently: spend, share, give.  I’m interested in your perspective:

 

•. What I spend is gone - although I may receive great reward in return.  I love spending time with my grandchildren.  

•. What I share has mutual benefit - although I may prefer that you share your pie with me rather than I share my pie with you.  

•. What I give I allow someone else to control - although when God has control, He works everything for good - including my offerings.  

This week’s sermon passage in 1 Timothy 6:6-19 reminds us that life’s inevitable uncertainties can protect our priorities when we experience them though our heavenly Father’s perspective.
