THE CHEERFUL GIVING CHRISTIAN (An Introduction)
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all
things are become new.
Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set
before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the
throne of God.
Php 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the
midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
Php 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in
vain, neither laboured in vain.
Intro.
Last time, when we dealt with the Lord’s Second coming, I gave emphasis on what really matters most in
our lives. We said that, life, family, food, shelter, clothing, friends, job and a lot in the long list matter.
But of all…which really matter most? To answer it, our position or who we are also matters first. How
things matter in a persons life is different, far different from the one who knows how to give importance
or values things that need to be given value because he or she was changed by God.
Ways (old things)
Vision ( what one sees in the future---must be in line with God’s purpose)
Vision for self, family, others
Vision for the church/ministry (serving God-soulwinning. Etc)
