Is there anything in your life that is prompting you to boast in the Lord?

Disappointed?

Being a generous person is a mark of genuine love in the likeness of Jesus

Paul's point is that we must keep the bottom of our giving funnel open, and God will keep pouring into the top.

Is it well with your soul?

God's New Covenant Economy: "Stewardship is an act of worship that proceeds from a changed heart-not a command or law. The Bible gives us freedom, which compels us to rely on the Holy Spirit to provide discernment and wisdom. But we have to hear and pay attention, remembering that riches, pleasures, and comforts choke out God's voice."…

We are generous because Jesus has been so generous to us! "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich." 2 Corinthians 8:9

Transformation is a lifetime journey The Spirit transforms us into the image of Christ (are being transformed…) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Remember the Gospel - Treasure Jesus - and Worship!

The law brings knowledge of sin and the ultimate conclusion that we deserve God's judgment.

The gospel message of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus is God's final word. Am I miserable or finding greater joy in Jesus? For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)

If Jesus agreed to write a letter of recommendation for you, how would it read? Would you feel uncomfortable? Embarrassed? Don't be! Remember the AJB Gospel - All have sinned - Jesus didn't and was an acceptable sacrifice - Believe that about yourself and about Jesus and you are saved!

You smell good to God!
