Giving is natural for Kings and we too are Kings.

1. If we all are Kings, then we should give to each other.
    
2. When we give to the body, we give to Christ the King.
3. Every time we meet one another, giving should be automatic.
4. The wise men knew there was a greater kingdom on earth.
5. When you give to a King, you make a demand on what he possesses.

Looking at the five reasons of giving, how well do you give?

I was asked yesterday about how to deal with the problems of the community.  Problems of children running wild without regard of life(their own nor anyone else),  parents that are disconnected from raising their children, and the general "Devil may care" attitude of the people.  When I pointed to what God's Word said about it the response was about the hate that is being preached on the airwaves.  The person's response does have some truth to it.

When we listen to what is sometimes preached on the airwaves there are some that spure hate and not love.  This is opposed to what is supposed to be preached, which is Jesus Christ and Him crucified.  When there is something that is preached that goes against this it is not of Christ. When Paul wrote this he understood that what would change a person's life was the proclamation of Christ and His cross.

When Christ is preached four things are revealed: 1) That Jesus is the Word of God. Meaning that Jesus is the embodiment of God's Law, grace, mercy and Love.  For Jesus Himself stated,"I have not come to destroy the Law, but to fulfill." 2) His life was to example on how to live in this world.  Even though He was the Word made flesh He lived seeking to save not as one to pass judgement.  3)  He laid down His life to pay the price on our heads.  His death on the cross was the only way that man could be set free from the penalty of death that God stated that man owed.  4) His resurrection brings a new life free of sin.  When Jesus left the tomb on that Sunday morning He defeated everything that would defeat us.  Every problem, every stress, every temptation, every hatred, every sickness was overcome.  If we are looking for a cure for what is going on in the world we need to look to Christ.  We need to preach Christ, and we need to live Christ.  For in the end Christ is the answer.

How many of you have heard these?

I need 100 people to sow a $1000 seed…

This church is good ground to sow seed into…

Sow a $103 seed for your healing…

God says, “Sow seed and I’ll bless you…”

There is an interesting characteristic about seed – it multiplies on its own! Whether it’s seed for grain, seed for vegetables, or seed of people, the unique characteristic of seed is its ability to reproduce after its own kind.

Now, when the Bible talks about seed, it is either speaking of plant, animal, human, or the Word of God.

Never, ever, ever does the Bible refer to seed as money! You absolutely, positively, have to catch this! Do not be deceived – money is not “seed.”

This is something that I found on the LOGOS.com blog. 

It would have been hard to get through 2012 without hearing or seeing the acronym YOLO (You Only Live Once). The term regularly trended on Twitter, showed up in Facebook news feeds, and quickly became part of the pop culture vernacular. Like a modern Carpe Diem, “YOLO!” is the cry of a generation seeking to squeeze all the possible goodness from life. If the end of your one life is death, why deny yourself happiness now? It may seem nihilistic, but it makes sense. If this is our only opportunity to taste life’s fruit, then we should indulge. Even Paul affirms this in his discussion with the Corinthians, “If the dead are not raised, ‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die’” (1 Cor. 15:32). It would seem that, in a closed system in which death is life’s final outcome, “YOLO!” is the only rational response. But the fact that Jesus rose from the dead changes everything. Here are three ways that Christ’s death and resurrection triumph over “YOLO!”:

1. Christ’s resurrection has made a mockery of death

“And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.” (Col. 2:13–15)

Not only are the rulers and authorities—demonic or otherwise—that would hold death over our heads vanquished; they’re humiliated. I love Paul’s imagery here. Jesus didn’t just destroy them, he disarmed them. Imagine an invading horde coming into a city and the king going out and simply taking their weapons from them—how embarrassing.

Christ has removed death’s stinger (1 Cor. 15:51); it no longer has power over us. The grave is not life’s final word.

2. Christ’s resurrection gives us hope

“But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.”—1 Thessalonians 4:13–14

“YOLO” has an intrinsic sadness in it. The reveler who looks at life with a “let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die” mentality cannot help but shrink from death’s inevitability, and mourn for those who’ve passed.

But the resurrection gives us hope! Death isn’t a period at the end of our lives; it’s a comma.

3. Christ’s resurrection is a new beginning

In Romans 8, Paul shows us that Christ’s resurrection kicked off a chain reaction leading to the redemption of all things.

The Spirit of he who raised Christ from the dead dwells in those who belong to him (Rom. 8:11) making us children of God and fellow heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:15–17). And all of creation, which has groaned under the weight and futility of sin has waited for the revealing of the children of God in order that it be set free from its bondage and corruption (Rom. 8:20–22). Within the resurrection of Christ lie the seeds for the restoration of all things.

It’s no wonder that Paul’s heart erupts with the admonition to “rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.” (Phil. 4:4)

For those who believe death has the final word, to embrace life from a “you only live once” perspective makes perfect sense. But for those whose lives are lived in the light of Christ’s resurrection, nothing in this life is “worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” (Rom. 8:18)

The promise of Easter is that, because death is not the end, the pleasures of this world have lost their luster. I may only live once, but thanks to Jesus, it will be one long, glorious life spent in God’s presence.
