It’s easy to look at others, imagine what they are able to give, and compare that to our own giving. To feel as though maybe our giving isn’t as important to God’s Kingdom. However, Pastor JD teaches us that God looks beyond the amount we give and directly into our hearts…our attitudes towards and willingness to give. We are to value God more than we value our possessions.

Though the false threat of a nuclear bomb being dropped on Hawaii has seemingly passed...should we stop being worried? Today Pastor JD encourages us to certainly NOT worry...but, to be wise. We are on the brink of catastrophe in our country. Now, how that will play out, we truly don't know. We can be thankful that God is in control of all things.

We often think if we didn’t get what we asked for, that God didn’t answer our prayer. But, as Pastor JD points out, this isn’t true. God will always answer our prayer…just in His time and His way. And when we don’t get what we prayed for, it’s because God has something else in store…something perfectly aligned to His will for us.

The ultimate gift of love was given to us through the sacrifice of God’s one and only Son, Jesus. What a great example for us. Giving is an act of love; and as Pastor JD explains, it is in direct proportion to the sincerity of our love for others. Giving can be expressed in different forms, so we shouldn’t wait until we have an abundance to experience the joy of blessing others through the gift of giving!

Giving doesn’t come naturally to us. Giving is a spiritual gift…a spiritual exercise. Pastor JD reminds us of this in today’s message. He touches on the fact that while God doesn’t need us to give, WE need to give. And when our giving is done cheerfully and obediently, it is pleasing to God. Giving shouldn’t be a “got to.” It should be a “get to.” Giving is a privilege!

Most of us have, at least once, been hesitant to give our tithe. We’ve struggled with giving that portion of our earnings to God, while worrying about making ends meet. But Pastor JD shifts the thought of having to give, to one of being able to keep. God allows us to keep the majority of our blessings from Him. He doesn’t need our money…He just wants our hearts.
