Giving With The Right Heart
Matthew 6:1-4
Proverbs 14:21 “It is a sin to despise one's neighbor, but blessed is the one who is kind to the needy.”
Isaiah 58:7 “Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter…”
Main Point:
As His Disciples Jesus calls us to give to, and help those in need out of a heart of gratitude, and without desire for acclaim.
This flows out of the Greatest Commands that Jesus emphasized in Matthew 22:37-39
1. Jesus expects us to give to, and help those in need, as has always been the heart of God.
James 1:27
Ephesians 4:28
2. Jesus expects us to give to, and help those in need out of the love God has poured into us!
I John 3:16-18
