1. We often stress the fact that when we give, we give to Jesus. This is good and right, Matt. 25:34-40.

3. We think about what we see. There are so many things a congregation does that is not seen.
4. This hour I’d like to walk your mind through those things that you might not be thinking about when you put your money in the plate.
5. I’d like to increase your appreciation for what you do in giving, and increase your joy in giving to Jesus.

5) Judah fathered a child by Tamar, his daughter-in-law, when she dressed like a harlot and propositioned him (Genesis 38:15-18).
