BIG IDEA:
Subtracting pride and hypocrisy increases the value of whatever you give to the Lord.
Subtracting pride and hypocrisy increases the value of whatever you give to the Lord.
Three areas where Jesus specifically calls out our obsession with image:
Dress / Appearance. Jesus cares A LOT more about WHY you wear what you wear than WHAT you wear.
Titles / Status
Public Perception
Dress / Appearance. Jesus cares A LOT more about WHY you wear what you wear than WHAT you wear.
Titles / Status
Public Perception
If you want to make disciples like Jesus does, you need to subtract any pretense or obsession with how you are perceived by people. THAT frees you to give away your heart in making disciples. It will also free you to give away more than your heart.
TRUST IS EVERYTHING
Jesus Sees Everything - When you subtract pride and hypocrisy out of your life, and give freely from the heart, you can KNOW that you are squarely in God’s sight!

Jesus Doesn’t Count, He Weighs - If you want to increase the value of your offering, subtract anything that prevents you from loving God and His work in the world.
