Keeping a ___________________ journal for 5 minutes a day has the same effect as ___________________ your income.
Ecclesiastes 5:10 Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!
It's not natural to be ____________________ because we were born _____________________.
Attitudes toward Generosity in the Good Samaritan:
Robbers. What's yours is mine and I'm going to __________ it.
Proverbs 28:22 Greedy people try to get rich quick but don’t realize they’re headed for poverty.
Religious. What's mine is mine and I'm gonna __________ it.
Philippians 2:3-4 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
Generous. What's mine is yours and I'm going to __________ it.
Greatest gift a person can have is being able to __________________ someone else.
Three Levels of Generosity:
- ______________ Generosity. I will give what I can ____________.
- ______________ Generosity. I will give what I ______________.
Malachi 3:10-11 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! 11 Your crops will be abundant, for I will guard them from insects and disease. Your grapes will not fall from the vine before they are ripe,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
Tithing is not about ___________________ God it's about __________________ Him as first in our life.
- ______________ Generosity. I will give until it ______________.
2 Corinthians 8:3-5 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. 4 They begged us again and again for the privilege of sharing in the gift for the believers in Jerusalem.
Instead of trying to increase our standard of ______________ we should be trying to increase our standard of ______________.
2 Corinthians 9:6-8 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. 7 You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” 8 And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.
In order to live a _________ life you must live a _____________ life.

Spiritual farsightedness happens when we focus TOO much on OTHERS.

Do followers of Jesus need to have good works or is faith in God enough? In this sermon we see that James teaches us that faith on its own is dead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone has faith in _______________. True faith has an ___________ associated with it.
[2 Corinthians 5:7] For we live by faith, not by sight.
[Hebrews 11:6a] It is impossible to please God without faith.
Faith must be combined with ________________.
[James 2:14] What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?
[2 Corinthians 13:5] Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith.
Faith that is ___________________
[James 2:15-16] Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, [16] and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?
Dead faith produces leaves with no _________________
[James 2:17-18] So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. [18] Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith; others have good deeds.” But I say, “How can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds.”
Faith that is dead is just __________________________.
[James 2:19-20] You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror. [20] How foolish! Can’t you see that faith without good deeds is useless?
Works without _______________
[Ephesians 2:8-9] God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. [9] Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
Works without faith is just going through the ________________.
Faith that is ___________________
Faith that doesn't change my _________ won't change my ________.
True faith _________________ produces fruit.
[James 2:21] Don’t you remember that our ancestor Abraham was shown to be right with God by his actions when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
[James 2:25] Rahab the prostitute is another example. She was shown to be right with God by her actions when she hid those messengers and sent them safely away by a different road.
[James 2:26] Just as the body is dead without breath, so also faith is dead without good works.

00:00 - RESCUE: Rescued From Bondage
00:28 - Sermon by Judah Thomas, Lead Pastor
Anything that competes with Jesus is a ________________.
06:04 - [Exodus 14:11-12] and they said to Moses, "Why did you bring us out here to die in the wilderness? Weren't there enough graves for us in Egypt? What have you done to us? Why did you make us leave Egypt? [12] Didn't we tell you this would happen while we were still in Egypt? We said, 'Leave us alone! Let us be slaves to the Egyptians. It's better to be a slave in Egypt than a corpse in the wilderness!'"
God didn't ________________ you so you could go ________________ to bondage!
08:33 - [Galatians 5:1] So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law.
Christ's work has already ________________ our chains of bondage.
True ________________ comes from Christ alone.
14:32 - [Romans 6:16-18] Don't you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. [17] Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you. [18] Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living.
True freedom is found in surrendering to God's __________ and walking in ________________.
17:17 - [2 Corinthians 3:17] For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Your mess isn't the ________________ mess God has seen.
19:56 - [1 Peter 2:16] For you are free, yet you are God's slaves, so don't use your freedom as an excuse to do evil.
True freedom isn't found in ________________ but in dependence on God.
21:18 - [Romans 8:1-2] So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. [2] And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.
25:24 - Let's Pray with Judah Thomas
