November 5 Care Group

We discussed the Sunday message from Proverbs about honoring God with our money.  Thanks for all your comments!
-It's good to remember how often God answers our prayers and has brought us through lean times.
-God will take care of the details when we obey Him.
-God provided needs for so many of us who had little money when we first got married, but we tithed and gave anyway in faith and trust.  God blessed our obedience and moved on our behalf.
-Proverbs 3: 9-10 - Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.
-Everything we have belongs to Him!
-There is SO much joy in giving to others!
-God's word changes our hearts so we can focus on others and God's glory and not on our own selfish needs.
-We need faith to obey God's commands.
-Do we challenge ourselves to give generously of our time, energy, money and talents?
-Think about what we could be giving to the kingdom.
2 Corinthians 9:6-7 - The point is this:  whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.  Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
