Malachi 3:7-127Ever since the time of your forefathers you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,”

says the LORD Almighty.

“But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’

8“Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me.

“But you ask, ‘How do we rob you?’

Page 19: Generous Living: Sowing Seeds that Satisfy & Bless others Special two week 10 year Anniversary Message Series:

Malachi 3:7-12“In tithes and offerings. 9You are under a curse—

the whole nation of you—because you are robbing me. 10Bring the whole tithe into the

storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and

see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. 11I will prevent

pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit,” says the

LORD Almighty. 12“Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,”

says the LORD Almighty.

Does God want you to be rich?Principle #1

“YES! - But only to be faithful with!”

Page 22: Generous Living: Sowing Seeds that Satisfy & Bless others Special two week 10 year Anniversary Message Series:

Proverbs 11:24-28

24One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. 25A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. 26People curse the man who hoards grain, but blessing crowns him who is willing to sell. 27He who seeks good

finds goodwill, but evil comes to him who searches for it. 28Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.

Page 23: Generous Living: Sowing Seeds that Satisfy & Bless others Special two week 10 year Anniversary Message Series:

Does God want you to be rich?Principle #2

“YES! - But only if you can be refreshed by

giving it away!”

Page 24: Generous Living: Sowing Seeds that Satisfy & Bless others Special two week 10 year Anniversary Message Series:

1 Timothy 6:6-21

6But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9People who want to

get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money

is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced

themselves with many griefs.

Page 25: Generous Living: Sowing Seeds that Satisfy & Bless others Special two week 10 year Anniversary Message Series:

1 Timothy 6:6-21

11But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love,

endurance and gentleness. 12Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which

you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Page 26: Generous Living: Sowing Seeds that Satisfy & Bless others Special two week 10 year Anniversary Message Series:

1 Timothy 6:6-21

13In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before

Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you 14to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15which

God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might for ever.

Amen.

Page 27: Generous Living: Sowing Seeds that Satisfy & Bless others Special two week 10 year Anniversary Message Series:

1 Timothy 6:6-21

17Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God,

who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18Command them to do good, to be

rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19In this way they will lay up treasure for

themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is

truly life. 20Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, 21which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith.

Grace be with you.
