How does serving the needy serve the needy, and serve you? Jesus taught his followers to both be generous to the needy and, in that generosity, focus on a reward from God, not recognition from men. Otherwise, a man might someday discover that God found his “good works” to be not all that good after all. Pastor Greg Byman today dives into Matthew 25:31-46 as he preaches “Serving the Needy: The True Test of Real Faith.”

"Jesus talked much about money. Sixteen of the thirty-eight parables were concerned with how to handle money and possessions. In the Gospels, an amazing one out of ten verses (288 in all) deal directly with the subject of money. The Bible offers 500 verses on prayer, less than 500 verses on faith, but more than 2,000 verses on money and possessions." SOURCE.

A search for the word “content” reveals that Scripture has much to say about the matter. In Philippians 4:11, the apostle Paul famously exhorts millennia of fellow Christ-followers, “I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.”

But how do we become and remain content? Today’s message is called “Practice Generosity” and is the fourth in a series called “God’s Giving Principles.” The sermon was preached on February 18, 2018.
