Recession proof!?

We are currently in the sermon series “Recession proof”. We are discussing that the kingdom of God is not subject to our current national economic woes. It is easy to only think in terms of money, but God showed me something this week in John 19:38-42. Jesus was dead. Joseph and Nicodemus prepared Jesus’ body for burial. Imagine their thoughts and the thoughts of the disciples at this time. They put all their hope in Jesus and now he is dead (sound like your 401k?) They were experiencing a spiritual recession. But just when all hope seemed lost, the miraculous happened: Jesus rose from the dead.  

Are you in a spiritual recession?  James 4:8 “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” The Holy Spirit desires to have fellowship with you. Run to Him, trust Him and obey Him. Only in Him will you truly be recession proof.

What’s in yer’ wallet!

Are you a giver or a tither?  Do you obey God and give him your tithe, or just whatever is leftover? You are giving it to God, not man or the church. Offerings are a gift above and beyond the tithe. To not give the tithe is to rob God (Malachi). YOU DON’T WANT TO DO THAT NOW DO YOU? Of course not. Besides, God’s blessings flow to those who obey him. So I ask you; what’s in yer’ wallet? Your money…………….or God’s?
