Sermons From the Edge|Obligation or Opportunity: Sermons From the Edge Episode
Audio sermon by: Gordon D. Venturella | 25:30 min
What is our attitude about giving? Do we see it as an obligation or an opportunity? A priority or a problem? Have you noticed in life that there is always some problem that presents itself and then when you get over that one, there is another one. If you wait until everything is perfect, if you wait until everything is settled, if you wait until all your financial issues or time issues are resolved, you'll never give anything to anyone. If we don't take it upon ourselves to manage our finances, to manage our talents, to manage our time, and make giving of ourselves and our resources a priority, then we will ultimately miss out on a fulfilled life.
Does fulfillment in life come from acquiring or from giving? How do I receive ultimate fulfillment in life? Do I do it by getting more or by giving more?
Five key issues that will help us achieve fulfillment in life:
1. Settle the issue of giving according to priority or problems.2. Settle the issue of giving according to opportunity or obligation.3. Settle the issue of who is in control of my life.4. Settle the issue of leadership.5. Settle the issue of love.
When you want to know for a fact what it is that you love, follow the money trail. Not only do we need to know where our money is in order to budget effectively, you and I need to know where our money is, so we will know where our heart is.
