EVERYTHING IN OUR
LIVES IS A GIFT

Everything is a Gift - 1
(Audio)

“What do you have
that you have not been given?
And
if you have been given it, why do you boast?”
We get
used to it because we get complacent
We don't see him as the giver of
everything. And we think we are entitled.

Everything is a Gift - 2
(Audio) |
"Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought."
So we need to think
ourselves according to what God's given us.
What do you do
with a gift?
Take the talents
and
do something with them.
God's given each of you gifts and abilities, and he wants
you to use them.
Seek
him with all your heart.
And you find the answers.

THE GOOD WE GIVE TO OTHERS
CAME FROM GOD
(Audio) |
when truth is passed on from any one person to another, and that person receives that, it,
that's like a battle that's been won.
when we go and we touch somebody else's life, we're touching with God's love.
the God of the universe is glorifying himself through us.
we set this
bar, life is supposed to be this way. And when life is less than
"that good," then we get upset.
And it's
the opposite of Christianity because there is no entitlement.
"And if
you did receive it,"
"why do
you boast as though you did not?"
And there's
gifts everywhere. And if we just stop, and rest in that, and think
about it, there's just a peace that comes over us.
