Yesterday was fun. I got to speak on money, which for a Pastor can be a little awkward, but we approached the topic a little differently than I ever have before. In essence the message was more about faith than it was finances.
** We wrapped up the One Hit Wonders series with a message from Mark 12 about the poor widow who gave all that she had..... which was only 2 small coins.
** The 2 spiritual principles were, a little becomes a lot when we give it to God, and giving is really not a financial thing, it's a faith thing.
** The biggest mistake people make in relation to giving is when we reduce a spiritual act of worship (which is what giving is), down to a mathematical equation.
** Giving NEVER works out on paper.
** I loved walking down memory lane and sharing stories of the miracles of God at Foothills Community Church in relation to finances. Wow, God has been so faithful!
** A.W. Tozer once said, "Anything God has ever done, He can do now. Anything God has ever done anywhere, He can do here. Anything God has ever done for anyone, He can do for You!" Remember that the next time something seems impossible!
** So many great things coming up at Foothills in the next 2 months I can hardly stand it! (Baptism Party on September 5th, LIFE group semester begins in mid September, We will be having a huge volunteer appreciation dessert and party on September 30th, and then on October 3rd we'll have a ServeLink to help people find a place to serve, and then on October 10th we will have a Friend Day (not really sure what else to call it) where everyone will be encouraged to invite their friends)
** Hard to believe that school started today.
** This Sunday we will begin the new series called, Questions Uncensored 2. Looking forward to that.
