SERMON BY: Dr. John Waterloo
SERMON TITLE: Paying It Back
SERMON THEME: Genuine Thankfulness Produces Stewardship
SERMON SERIES: Followers of God
SERMON VERSES: Philippians 4:10-19
* Most fail to recognize the value of what others have invested and done for us
* Very few repay or even attempt to repay the investments they have received
Why we want to be a part of the pay it back team
1. Make a larger impact!
2. We gain materially and spiritually
3. We gain satisfaction
4. God will care for our needs when we invest in the Lord’s work
5. We are not prone to pay it forward until we pay it back
Philippians 4:10-19 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. 15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. 17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. 19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
