Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
Dr. Gary Singleton - Senior Pastor
Don’t you love it when someone gives you a gift? Birthdays. Christmas. Anniversaries. And especially when you’re given a gift for no particular reason. When we receive a gift from someone it tells us that we mean something to that person. In fact, for those who are familiar with Gary Chapman’s “Five Love Languages,” one of them is gifts.
And yet in Acts 20:35, Paul quotes Jesus as saying “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” And as awesome as it is to receive a gift from someone, I have to agree with Paul and Jesus. Giving is just so much more rewarding than receiving.
This Sunday we’re continuing our sermon series, “Waking the World Up to Jesus” with a look at giving. Being a disciple of Jesus means giving our time, our talents, and our treasure. Now before you decide that you have no time, not much talent, and certainly no treasure to give, let me suggest that you have more than you think.
The world is not impressed with our beliefs and our doctrine. They are impressed when we give … when we put the needs of others ahead of our own. If we want to wake the world up to Jesus, we can’t be committed to just loving God. We have to love others. Join me Sunday as we see that giving points others to Jesus.
