SERIES:WHAT IS YOUR SPIRIT LIKE?

“Developing A Giving Spirit”Rev. Martin Sanders

November 2012

Living Christ Church

DEVELOPING A GENEROUS SPIRIT

•Spirit of Generosity

•Prosperity

•Spirit of Poverty

GOD IS LOOKING

FOR PEOPLE & PLACES

HE CAN

BLESS AND USE

HOW TO BECOME A GIVING PERSON

(Acts 3)

Acts 3:1-3“One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.”

A Classic Jesus Model

I. FOCUS ON THE RIGHT STUFF, BUT BE WILLING TO BE INTERRUPTED (1-

3)

Picture Yourself in the Setting

•John & Peter•Time •Place•People•Setting•Focus (not on yourself)

God will often bless and use people whose lives are focused, but who are flexible enough to see the opportunities where He is at work!

II. NOTICE THINGS OTHER PEOPLE MISS (4-5)

Acts 3:4-5

Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, "Look at us!" So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.

Again, Picture Yourself in the Setting

•Their issues•His issues•The “Needy”•Possible excuses/rationalizations

See this from the Beggar’s View

•Daily routine•Limited expectations•Today is Different•When hope “inspires”

“God, can I please be one of those people in the Universe who inspires hope in others?”

III. USE THE RESOURCES YOU HAVE AND THEN TRUST GOD FOR THE REST (and know the difference) 6-10

Acts 3:6-10Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Put Yourself in the Setting…•Pause, refocus, engage•Understand your available resources and God’s awesome help

•Look him in the eye•Take his hands•Trust God’s power with the outcomes

Again, from the Beggar’s View

•Limited expectation•Just wanted some money.•His expectations were low. •He wasn’t about to turn the offer down.•He had to be willing to participate in his own life transformation.

Principles of Giving People•Focus on the Right Stuff, but be willing to be Interrupted. (1-3)

•Notice things other people miss. (4-5)

•Use the Resources you have, then Trust God for the rest (and know the difference). (6-10)

Notice the Outcomes•Another life change story•Hope restored•Fosters faith in many•Brings glory to God (and your name is seldom mentioned)

GOD IS LOOKING

FOR PEOPLE & PLACES
