Sermon Outline Key

Below is the completed sermon outline.

Deuteronomy 26 instructs the Israelites to give a portion of their firstfruits.

Habakkuk describes a time when there will be no firstfruits because there will be no harvest.

The primary reason our budget is on target is because you give from your firstfruits. 

Right now you’re giving in a time of unprecedented uncertainty, and that’s firstfruit giving.

REVEAL Study: Tithers tithe because the Bible tells them so.

Your giving is fine tuning your heart for God and for his purposes. (Matthew 6:19-21)

When there’s nothing from which to give, we can give God our praise and our worship. (Habakkuk 3:18)

This is Us

We are the church, whether we are gathered or scattered--each one of us, a part of the body of Christ, wherever we go, whatever we do.

So, where can you find us, and what are we doing?

I just got this picture with a text from Brian Burquest, our Executive Director of Operations: “The new lawn care guy at church is pretty sketchy.” Yeah, he’s talking about himself. Wonder how he got his equipment over there? One of our “just-in-case” cost-cutting measures has been to pause our lawn service indefinitely, so a big thanks goes out to Brian!
