The Blessed Life (5): Am I Generous? | Pastor Mark Harrell | Play/Download​
​*A recording will be available shortly after service concludes.
John 12:1-8

Two types of hearts are revealed:  GENEROSITY and SELFISHNESS

What displays the heart is anything that has to do with GIVING.

Three things to talk about:
  1. The ENEMY of GENEROSITY: SELFISHNESS.
    Serving God is not about what GOD can do for US.  It's about what WE can do for GOD.

  2. The EXTRAVAGANCE of GENEROSITY.
    Denarius means ONE DAY'S wage.
    300 denari refers to ONE YEAR'S salary.
    II Corinthians 8:3-5.  The extravagant gift to give is YOURSELF.

    Three levels of GIVING in the Bible:
    a.  TITHES
    b.  OFFERINGS
    c.  EXTRAVAGANT OFFERINGS

  3. The REWARD of GENEROSITY.
    Mark 14:3-9
    Mary's brother had just been raised from the dead, two months before.
    You have been RAISED from the DEAD.
    Ephesians 2:4-7
    GENEROSITY comes out of GRATITUDE.
    Hebrews 11:6

REWARDER:​
  • to hire or pay wages due a person.
  • to give extravagantly over and above what is normally due.
    He doesn't just say GOD does this, but rather GOD IS THIS.

The Blessed Life (4): Breaking the Spirit of Mammon | Pastor Mark Harrell | Play/Download​
Luke 16:9-15

Three questions for today
  1. What is mammon?
    Mammon is an Aramaic word that means RICHES.
    Mammon was an Assyrian god, the god of riches that came from Babylon.
    Babel means CONFUSION.
    The spirit of mammon says, "You don't need GOD, you need MONEY."
    Mammon PROMISES you only what GOD can give you.
    Mammon is looking for SERVANTS.
    Mammon is the spirit of ANTICHRIST.
  2. Is money evil?
    Money is NOT EVIL, it is NEUTRAL.
    Money is merely a TOOL.
    Three important words to remember: PEOPLE LAST FOREVER
  3. What should I do with money?
    Be a good STEWARD.
    To be a good STEWARD, you must break the spirit of mammon that wants to replace God.

The Blessed Life (3): Who's On First? | Pastor Mark Harrell | Play/Download
Question!  Who's on FIRST in you LIFE?

Exodus 13:1-15
Consecrate - set aside, set apart.
  1. The FIRST born must be SACRIFICED or REDEEMED.
    You give it in FAITH.
    God gave Jesus in FAITH believing for a RETURN.
    Any first thing given is never LOST.

  2. The FIRSTFRUITS must be offered.
    Exodus 23:19
    Proverbs 3:9-10
    Genesis 4:3-5

  3. The TITHE must be BROUGHT first.
    II Chronicles 31:5
    The Bible never uses the word "GIVE" when it talks about tithing.  It only use the word "BRING."
    I Corinthians 16:1-2
    ​Exodus 13:14-15
