The Bible You Don’t Believe
Better To Give Than To Receive

34 You know that these hands of mine have worked to supply my own needs and even the needs of those who were with me. 35 And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” Acts 20: 34-35

Giving Reminds Us:

I. God Is Our

.
For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to
eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and
then produce a great harvest of generosity in you.
2 Corinthians 9:10

II.

Is Our Responsibility.
6 Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a
small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.
7 You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give
reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who
gives cheerfully.” 8 And God will generously provide all you need. Then
you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share
with others. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8

III.

Is Our Call.
11 Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. 12 So two good things will result from this ministry of giving—the needs of the believers in Jerusalem will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God. 2 Corinthians 9:11-12
