CONTAGIOUS GENEROSITY
“God’s Colossal Generosity Challenge!”
Pastor Gary Hoyt - November 13, 2022
Malachi 3:10 (NIV) — Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
Malachi 3:11 (NIV) — I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the LORD Almighty.
Malachi 3:12 (NIV) — “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the LORD Almighty.
God’s Colossal Challenge is SMALL in its ask but enormous in its BENEFITS!
God INVITES us to BRING 10% of our increase as evidence that He has 100% of our HEART.
Malachi 3:10 (NIV) — “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house….”
1 Corinthians 16:2 (NIV) — On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.God doesn’t DEMAND of us so that we might give to Him—He DARES us so that we might TRUST Him.
Malachi 3:10 (NIV) — “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty….”
2 Corinthians 9:6-7 (NLT) — Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop...and don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”
God isn’t coming for your money—He’s AFTER YOUR HEART, so that you would be AFTER HIS HEART!2 Corinthians 8:3-4 (NLT) — For I can testify that they gave not only what they could afford, but far more. And they did it of their own free will. They begged us again and again for the privilege of sharing in the gift for the believers in Jerusalem.
God PROMISES that if we GENEROUSLY RISE to His Colossal Challenge, He will GENEROUSLY MEET all our needs—and much more!
Malachi 3:10-12 (NIV) — “...see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops...the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty...yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.
