SUBJECT: Giving as Worship

TITLE: Worship – Part 6 – Giving as Worship

PROPOSITION: To set forth four principles for giving that will help us understand better our giving in worship to God and will help us to understand how to give. These principles are: 1) The Principle of Grace–God gives to His creation; 2) The Principle of Gratitude–We should give from a thankful heart; 3) The Principle of Generosity–We must first give of ourselves; 4) The Principle of Egression–If we fail to give, we will lose what we already have.

OBJECTIVE: Each hearer should be able to state these basic principles of giving and how they relate to their life and worship.

AIM: I hope to encourage the brethren to examine their own giving and see if they can enhance their worship of God by giving Him more from their life.
