robbing god

Pastor Luke, Joel Kobosh and Paul Sanders discuss God’s challenge to Israel, “Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me (Malachi 3:6-12)?” along with personal examples of how we can learn to give regularly and generously to our church. 
Some Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 9:6-8; Philippians 4:10-20

1. Come in - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Three words…

a) washed- Because the sinner is unclean, polluted as it were by the filth of his sins. Whoever obtains remission of sins has his sins put, so to speak, out of God's sight — is cleansed from them in the sight of God.  They are washed, they are clean. 

b) sanctified- to separate from profane things and dedicate to God, to purify by expiation, to free from the guilt of sin. Expiation means the act of making amends or reparation for guilt or wrongdoing; atonement.

c) justified- to make a person righteous, such as they are and wish themselves to be considered.  

2. Dig in- Psalm 34:8

Two words:  

a) involve  

b) immerse

3. Buy in- Malachi 3:6-12

One reality:  origin & ownership
