The Power of Giving

Matthew 25:14–19

Pastor Jayson Workman

Introduction:

FAITHFULNESS is the first key to unlocking the power of giving.

1. God Owns Everything, and I Own Nothing. (v. 15)

We are owners of nothing and stewards of everything.

1 Corinthians 4:7 For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?

1. God Entrusts Me with Everything I Have. (v. 15)

1. I Am Responsible to Increase What God Has Given Me. (vv. 16–18)

Proverbs 11:24 -25 One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.

1. God Can Call Me into Account at Any Time. (v. 19)

2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

Proverbs 20:6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: But a faithful man who can find? (KJV)

Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.
