Sometimes people don't understand why we have taken as much time as I do on the offering.

And if you'll analyze it, I'm not trying to get you to give.

That's not what's going on.

Faith comes by hearing.

And in order to have God's full provision, you've got to live by faith.

Living by faith is living by sowing and reaping.

And so the reason we take time to do it is because we want to see you prosper.

We want to see all your needs met.

I want to see all your bills paid. I want to see all your bills paid.

Hmm?

I want to see your good desires fulfilled.

When you see you come up to a whole another higher level of ability.

Being blessed and being a blessing.

That matters to us.

Is that okay?

I want to see you come up.

I want to see you rise.

And it's possible to just do things ritualistically

and just plump something down in the receptacle when it comes by

and get no blessing at all.

I don't want that.

We don't have that at Faith Life Church.
