Ex.
35:21-29 The Israelites were stirred to give generously
“21
and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments
.” Slide42
Ex. 35:21-29
“
22
All who were willing, men and women alike, came and brought gold jewelry of all kinds: brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments. They all presented their gold as a wave offering to the Lord
.”Slide43
Luke
21:1-4 The widow is commended for her sacrificial giving.
“
As
Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”Slide44
Notice three things:
A. Jesus watches as those who have extra riches cast but a portion of it into the treasury; a portion not given sacrificially but from their abundance (vs. 1,4). Slide45

giving.Slide47
Philippians 4:16-19 Our gifts are

“16
for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need. 17 Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account
.” Slide48

“18
I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from

God.”Slide49

Psalm 150
1 Praise the Lord.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,

The Psalmist’s point is not merely that we should worship God. His point is that we should worship God “by every
means
possible.”Slide54
A. F. Kirkpatrick
“
breath,” “…most commonly denotes the breath of man; but it may include all animals. Not priests and Levites only, but every living thing must join in the chorus of praise. The universe is Jehovah’s Temple, and all its inhabitants should be his worshipers
.”Slide55
A. F. Kirkpatrick
Kirkpatrick
goes on to point out that the Psalmist’s vision is finally fulfilled in the book of Revelation as all creation worships Jesus Christ. Slide56
Revelation 5:13
“Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: ‘To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!’”Slide57Slide58

It is our vision as a church to create followers of Christ who sincerely worship God in their words, their lives and their resources.
When we worship we fulfill the purpose for which God made us.Slide60Slide61
Jonathan Edwards “Praise, One of the Chief Employments of Heaven,”
“Let it be considered that the church on earth is the same society with those saints who are praising God in heaven. There is not one church of Christ in heaven and another here upon
earth…if
we begin now to exercise ourselves in the work of heaven, it will be the way to have foretastes of heaven.” Slide62
True worship does more than emulate heaven. There is a sense in which true worship brings heaven near, because the focus of worship is not on our personal preferences but on God himself.Slide63
