Second Chronicles, chapter 31, verse 5.

As soon as the command was spread abroad, the people of Israel gave in abundance,

the first fruits of grain, wine, oil, honey, and all of the produce of the field.

And they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything. I love this picture in Second Chronicles with worship and revival and restoration,

all these things that God is doing among his people in Second Chronicles 29 and 30 and 31,

we see all of that accompanied by abundant generosity and giving.

As soon as the command was spread abroad, the people of Israel gave in abundance.

They brought in abundantly, the tithe of everything. What a picture twice.

We see this picture of abundant giving, and especially here at the end of this year,

I encourage you to consider, based on 2nd Chronicles 31, the language here is your giving to the spread of God's glory

abundant I want to encourage you to consider ways that God might be leading you to give more

abundantly even here at the end of this year, in your local church, first and foremost,

in your local church, in the ministry that is happening in and through your local church to

build up your local church with abundant giving. Might God be leading you through this text,

even, to give more abundantly here at the end of the year

to your local church and then to other work that God is doing around the world,

whether it's through a ministry like Radical that's making this podcast possible at

radical.net or urgent needs.org when we pray for the spread of the gospel among

unreached people, that's an avenue where you can be a part of the spread of the gospel

among unreached people. On the front lines of the most urgent spiritual and physical needs in the world

coming alongside our indigenous brothers and sisters there.
