I absolutely felt filled this morning as I listened to this sermon. The idea that giving is the answer to my desire to covet things that aren't mine is something I needed a reminder of.
Some takeaways:
1. All of the hunger and panting is a symptom of my hunger and panting for the Lord. Therefore, my mission should be to redirect my anxieties about these longings and turn it into anxiety to find God and His kingdom!
2. Seek Him and you will be too full to seek what our world tells us we need!
3. We give because others are in need, and also because we are in need! Sacrificial generosity saves our souls
I went to a conference this past weekend and a famous speaker Louis Palau was there speaking on the topic of heaven. He said something so simple yet worth remembering. He said "Do not waste your time trying to recreate heaven on earth! Save your money and prepare yourself for the real thing!"
Excited to see how God will use this sermon series to remind us of who He is and why we follow these commandments. Praying for our hearts as staff this weekend, that we would open our hearts and ears to let God flow through us in abundance. To set up a picture of God's culture, church, and mission for others to find and follow Him. Love you guys!
