Preparation for Worship As you enter Sanctuary, please prepare your heart for worship and silence your mobile devices. Our sermon focuses on most beloved verse Bi (John 3:16). God generously sends us a Savior to rescue underservg sners like us from eternal peril. As grow as believers, discover that anor one his purposes sendg his Son was to create joyful and generous givers. God values generosity so greatly that he gave his beloved Son to create it his people. It is our privilege and delight to fer ourselves and his resources to Lord durg corporate worship. Givg has served as a part worship throughout biblical history. Abel gave his ferg worship (Genesis 4:3). Offerg sacrifices was a major part Old Tesment worship (Leviticus 1-5). Kg David declares, I will not fer to Lord that which costs me nothg (II Samuel 4:4). The Apostle Paul remds us that our givg is a fragrant ferg, a sacrifice accep and pleasg to God (Philippians 4:18). James Denney fers us this challenge: Ordary charity is but crumbs from rich man s ; but if catch Christ s spirit, it will carry us far beyond that. Let us pray that might catch Christ s spirit generosity and become more open-handed with all his resources.
