His Internal Ministry – The Pertinence Of The Holy Spirit – Giving Work Gifts

Bible Audio Blog

What is an #apostle?  Were they just the hand picked followers of #Christ or is the #HolySpirit still enabling Believers with the work gift of apostleship today?  I personally have a friend who has the work gift of craftsmanship.  

Brother Tommy next details the work gift of faith and how it differs from saving Faith.  What about the gift of giving?  Is it only for the well off individual?  What is it about the gifts of healing that makes us unsettled?  Does God always want someone healed?  What do we need to know about the gift of leadership?  How about mercy?  Are there still miracles being performed?  Which gift refers to feeding and caring for the flock?  And finally, similar to pastoring but standing on its own is serving.  What is the reward for using these gifts properly?

Stewardship Accent on Attitude

      19750126 Stewardship Accent On Attitude - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

#Sharing is caring.  We have been taught this at #home with our siblings, in #school since kindergarten, and at #church since we were in the nursery.  But, is all sharing or giving done with the right attitude?  What does stewardship have to do with raising children?  Have you ever heard (or said), “all that church wants is my money”?  What is a true test of a dedicated Christian?  What are we told not to do when we give?  What is wrong with being acknowledged for our gifts?  What is sacrificial giving?  When you give, is there a smile on your face?

Stewardship Personal Promise

      19750119 Stewardship Personal Promise - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

What is your #word worth?  When you give your personal #promise is it worth anything?  How about when God promises something, can we count on that?  Have you ever wondered why so many churches have the name Bethel in them?  Listen to the passage about Jacob to find out.  What do our promises have to do with God’s plans?  Why does God require a commitment from us in order to move forward?  It boils down to free will.  Does our motive for giving to the Lord matter?  Is God watching what you are giving?

Stewardship Concerning the Collection

Bible Audio Blog

      19750112 Stewardship Concerning The Collection - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Some people get uncomfortable when the subject of #money is brought up.  Why is that?  Well, probably because whoever is speaking is usually asking for some of your money.  If you are a created being and the Lord provides all of your needs as the Bible tells us, is there really such a thing as your money?  Why is the Church concerned about taking up a collection?  Why does it concern us, believer or not?  How does concern for the collection dovetail into God’s concern for our salvation?  What does the Bible say about the timing of the collection?  What is said about who should participate in the collection?  How about where it goes?  What does the word tithe mean?  What is the purpose for taking up a collection?

Word of Challenge

      19840115 Word Of Challenge - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Was there anything #good or #pleasant that happened during the last week of #Jesus and his earthly ministry?  Who complained when Mary poured expensive ointment on the Savior?  Why was this private moment, away from the multitudes, shared with us? What have you given to the Lord lately?  Who is remembered longer the giver or the griper?  What is the difference between price and value?  What did this anointing symbolize?

The Ground For Giving

Bible Audio Blog

      19851027 The Ground For Giving - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

God doesn’t need your #money.  After all, where do you think it came from in the first place.  However, cheerful #giving back to God and our fellow man is a sign of what?  Most preachers don’t enjoy bringing up the subject of giving just because of the all too human desire people have to hold onto everything they can get.  I have to admit that it is a subject I avoid posting because it is not as eye catching as many of the other titles I have to close from in the archives.  But there are blessings to be gained from obedience to this command.  What does the Bible say about giving?  If you build a factory yourself, is it yours?  What about the goods produced when it is up and running?  If your factory gets confiscated, and you buy it back, who owns it now?

Here is the four part series of messages Brother Tommy gave on this subject.  See below for the other three parts.
