MATTHEW 6:1

-             WILLIAM BARKLEY – TO GIVE ALMS AND TO BE RIGHTEOUS WERE ONE IN THE SAME THING 

  IF OUR MOTIVATION IS TO IMPRESS PEOPLE, WE LOSE THE REWARD FROM GOD 

WRONG WAY TO GIVE 

MATTHEW 6:2 

LUKE 6:45 

HYPOCRITE – GREEK WORD  MEANING – MASK WEARER. 

HYPOCRITES GIVE FOR ATTENTION; DISCIPLES GIVE OUT OF LOVE.

LUKE 14:8-14

RIGHT WAY TO GIVE 

MATTHEW 6:3-4

LUKE 21:1-4 

GOD DOESN’T JUST CARE ABOUT THE GIFT..HE CARES ABOUT THE MOTIVE 

OUR GIVING SHOULD HAVE THE HOUSE OF GOD AS A PRIORITY 

1.        GENEROSITY IS A HEART ISSUE 

2.        AVOIDING THE “SPIRITUAL SPOTLIGHT”

3.        GOD SEES, GOD REWARDS 

GIVING PRAYER 

LORD I WANT TO OBEY YOU IN MY GIVING EVERY TIME I HEAR YOU SPEAK FROM YOUR WORD OR TO MY HEART 

LORD I WANT MY GIVING TO HELP YOU DO WHAT IS ON YOUR HEART 

LORD WHEN YOU SEE WHAT I GIVE I WANT YOU TO BE PLEASED 

LORD I WANT THE SURE REWARD THAT COMES FROM YOUR APPROVAL OF WHAT I GIVE 

LORD I WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO CALL ON ME WHEN THERE IS A NEED IN YOUR HOUSE

PUT ME ON YOUR SHORT LIST
