    The Generosity FactorMessage 5 of 6 Pay It Forward

    Dr. McKay Caston, Pastor of Preaching and Leadership

    TODAYS KEY BIBLE PASSAGES

    Matthew 6:19-21,19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where

    thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys

    and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (ESV)

    Mark 9:41, For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by

    no means lose his reward. (ESV)

    1 Timothy 6:17-19,17 As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes

    on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. 18 They are to do good,

    to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, 19 thus storing up treasure for themselves as a

    good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life. (ESV)

    THE BIG IDEA: ________________________________________________________________________

    MY NOTES:

    QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION & DISCUSSION1) How does giving make you feel? Describe the emotions, both negative and positive.

    2) What did Jesus give and why?

    3) How does it make you feel when you hear that you are his treasure?4) If you knew that what you gave away would bring you a 10,000% return in heaven, what would you do

    with more of your money?

    5) What is God leading you to pledge to the mission of the gospel in 2014 from what you expect him toentrust to you financially?
