| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast. I believe God has amazing |
| 0:06.0 | things in your future. I hope you enjoy this message. |
| 0:17.9 | I just want to talk to you today about being an extravagant giver. You know, when you live a |
| 0:23.1 | life of giving, you live the best possible life there is. Now sometimes we think, well, I can't |
| 0:30.0 | give all the time. If I give all the time, I won't have anything left. Or we think, if someone |
| 0:38.1 | asks me for something that I don't have, how do you expect me to give? But can I tell you this |
| 0:44.0 | today that there is never a time that you are empty handed. You always have something to give. |
| 0:51.7 | In the book of Acts, Peter and Paul were walking to the temple to worship God. It was a time of day |
| 0:59.0 | where everyone came to worship at the temple. I can just imagine the crowd and everybody trying to |
| 1:04.6 | get into the temple so they could all get a good seat. Kind of like this morning, you know, |

| 1:19.4 | temple and they passed a man who was sitting there begging. Now the Bible talks about this man and |
| 1:25.8 | this man had been crippled from birth and the people that took care of him placed him at the gate |
| 1:31.8 | every single day. Obviously it was a good place to sit for spare change because he was there every day. |
| 1:38.2 | I'm sure if it wasn't a good place they would have moved him somewhere else, right? So he was there |
| 1:43.2 | that day begging, believing that he was going to get what he needed for that day, have enough money |
| 1:48.8 | to take care of himself and the people who helped him. Well this particular day when Peter and John |
| 1:55.0 | were walking past the gate, he haulered out to them and he said, hey, I need some money. He was |
| 2:01.3 | begging from them. And I can see Peter and John there probably having a good time, a good day, |
| 2:06.3 | it was a good day for them and they kind of felt their pockets. Maybe they got their money back and |
| 2:10.8 | they realized I don't have any money. And you know, it would have been easy for them to say, well, |
