Spiritual investment
2 Corinthians 8:16 – 9:15
… at this point
Money
Jesus was very radical
“For we are taking pains to do what is
right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but
also in the eyes of man.” (8:21)
Handle money with excellence
Administration with attitude
“we are sending ... our brother who has
often proved to us in so many ways that
he is zealous, and now even more so
because of his great confidence in
you.” (8:22)
How to give
Not like this:
Grudgingly (9:5)
Sparingly (9:6)
Reluctantly (9:7)
How to give
But like this:
Generously (9:6)
Cheerfully (9:7)
What’s the difference?
A spirit of cheerfulness and generosity
moves the heart of God
Beware prosperity theology
Giving is a spiritual release mechanism
John Calvin
1509 - 1564
Get a grip on this …
“Thanks be to God for his
utterly indescribable
gift!”
(9:15)
