Here is a sermon outline of a sermon I preached years ago. Feel free to use it!
THE GIVING MISSION-MINDED CHURCH
(2 Corinthians 8: 1-3; Philippians 4: 15-19)
Greg B. Fernandez Jr.
Preached in Cebu City, Philippines, 2008
I.
THE GIVING
OF A MISSION-MINDED CHURCH
How does a mission-minded church
give?
(1)
They Give
Joyfully (2 Cor. 8: 2) Out of poverty they gave joyfully. In the Bible, poverty
is not an excuse for not giving. The Philippian church is not a rich church yet
they excel in giving more than the Corinthian church which probably richer than
the Philippian church.
(2) They Give Generously (according to their ability)
(3) They Give Sacrificially (beyond their ability)
II.
THE
BLESSINGS TO A MISSION-MINDED CHURCH
Philippians 4: 19
“But my God shall supply all your needs
according to his riches and glory by Christ Jesus”.
Did you know whom
this promise is made? Many people claim this promise without knowing the
context that it was first addressed to the Macedonian churches that are
mission-minded. This promise is not just for anybody. Some even think that this
promise without condition, but they are mistaken. The condition of this promise
is missions giving.
- The promise of Supply
- The promise of Security
- The promise of Spirituality
