Good morning. Are you glad you're here? Would you rather be here than

Crispy Kreme?

She has to think about that one for a moment.

All right, I'd like to ask you to turn to two passages,

turn to Matthew Chapter 24 and Luke Chapter 19. And if you'll put a marker at each of those, we'll start

at Matthew 24, we'll go to Luke 19, then we'll come back to Matthew 25. And those are the

passages I'm asking you to

turn to but we'll have more scripture than that and all the scripture will be

on the PowerPoint. Most of you know if you've been coming for any time that I go through a lot of scripture.

The reason I do is because it's the word of God that helps us.

The only thing that helps us is God's word.

So everything I say that's

God's word. So everything I say that's in line with God's word is going to help us today. So let me tell me

explain to you if you're if you weren't here last week. This is a two-part

series talking about rewards.

The reason that I'm sharing this is because I'm writing a book right now.

It's my first book on Giving and Finances.

And James and Betty, and their ministry actually asked me to write this book. giving and Fourth and fifth is a Friday night in a Saturday morning and I'll be teaching in like today's

studios on giving and finances.

Two sessions on Friday night, two sessions on Saturday morning.

And we're going to videotape, audio tape,

make CDs of that seminar.
