Generous
It is what you give to someone else, then what they give to someone else, then what they give to someone else…
What keeps us from being generous?
We think what we have is ours.
We think if we give it away we will have less.
Generous with: possessions; yourself; grace…

Message: The Gospel According to Matthew  
Text: Matthew 8:1-13  
Will You?  
Similarities: Both believed Jesus can, recognizing His authority; Both asked; Both were desperate, unable to help themselves or others; Both were outcasts from Jewish society.  
Differences: The leper was asking for himself, the centurion for someone else; Jesus touched the leper, but spoke for the centurion/servant.  
Desperation changes your prayer life.  
When Jesus says no.  
2 Corinthians 12:8-9

Let your light shine!
I don’t care to believe it.
It’s hard to believe it.
David Hume, the Scottish philosopher and skeptic, was once challenged as he was seen going to hear George Whitefield preach:
“I thought you do not believe in the gospel?”
Hume replied, “I don’t, but he does!”

Two Houses

Similarities: All houses face storms; Everyone is building; Building any house is lot of work; Both hear what Jesus said.

One builds on what Jesus said and who He is, one does not.

Why are you: Doing it; Saying it; Singing it; Thinking it; Wanting it; Praying it; Needing it?...

Who or What are you: Depending on; Trusting in; Trying to impress; Nervous about; Real honest with; Intimidated by?...

Admit
Repent
Create change
