Our Relationship With Our Resources // Return - Nate Porter

God wants our hearts to be healthy
Money isn’t really wealth-it’s a symbol of our resources.
Our reaction reveals the health of our hearts
How we interact with our possessions says a lot about our priorities.
Giving doesn’t absolve us from living like Jesus commanded but you can’t live like Jesus commanded unless you are giving.
Healthy Living comes from Premeditated Giving
God wants his people to be in the right relationship with the source of their resources
God doesn’t want you to live in an abusive relationship with your resources.
Giving is the mark of a mature believer
Keeping is the mark of an immature believer.
God wants us to have a healthy relationship with the source of all resources.
Obligated Giving is not good - It’s giving to others
Emotional giving is good. When it Feels Good to give - For Us
Principled giving is healthy. When you plan what you are going to give - For Future Us
Surrendered giving honoring - When you give regardless of the amount - Next week we will look at God’s relationship with our resources.
“Blessed be _____ by God Most High,
Creator of heaven and earth.
20 And blessed be God Most High,
who has defeated your enemies for you.”
