We're in a series called The Key to Everything. The reason I titled the series The Key to Everything is again I told you last week because Jack Hayford wrote a book called The Key to Everything.

I told Pastor Jack, I can't improve on that.

And if you hadn't got a copy of the book,

you might want to get a copy.

We may run out.

If we do, we will try to get some more.

We're checking on that.

I think last weekend, we came close to running out.

I think we've bought about every book the publisher had.

So we'll do what we can to continue to get it for you. Let me ask you a question. Have you ever had this

experience? Have you ever had a key made and when you got out to your car or you got home and you put it in the lock, it didn't work.

Anybody here ever had that happen?

All of us have. The reason it didn't work is because one of the teeth on the key was it ground down properly.

We're talking about the key to everything and in Luke 6 Jesus gives us the four teeth on

the key and what I want to share with you is that I've had a lot of people say, well,

Pastor Robert, I started giving or I started tithing and I didn't say any difference.

Well, there are four teeth on this key.

And Jesus makes it very, very clear, and here's what I'm

telling you, three of the teeth you could have in place. They could be ground

correctly, but there could be one tooth on your key that you are not allowing the Holy Spirit to grind down and your key will never work.

So that's what we're talking about.

The title of the message today is B-for-giving.
