What Jesus loves to see         Luke 21:1-4

Those who misidentify Jesus will also misidentify those who are IMPORTANT to Jesus! But Heaven sees what is missed on earth!

Jesus sees what’s going on                                                    V. 1-2

John 2:24                     Genesis 16:13              Psalm 11:4-6

 

Three things Jesus loves to see in our lives:

1.         Jesus loves to see HUMILITY instead of pride

James 4:6, 8

 

2.         Jesus loves to see SACRIFICIAL giving instead of surplus giving

2 Samuel 24:24                       Matthew 6:19-21.

The 3 stages of Biblically motivated giving:

First there is the call to PROPORTIONAL giving – that’s the tithe, the tenth.                                                Luke 11:42

Second is the call to give GENEROUSLY beyond the tithe as the Lord leads.                                                2 Corinthians 9:6-8

Third is the call to give SACRIFICIALLY as the Lord leads.                                                                   2 Corinthians 8:1-5

I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. The only safe rule is to give more than we can SPARE.                                                 -C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

 

3.         Jesus loves to see the OVERCOMER mindset instead of the victim mindset
