The final sermon in the Philippians Series. Recap of Philippians 4:14-23, January 20, 2008:
Principles of Giving
1. Giving is to be done willingly, not under pressure, vv. 14,16
2. Giving is participating in another’s ministry, vv. 14,15
3. Giving is a two way street, as we give God rewards us spiritually and materially [not with wealth, as in the prosperity gospel, but with more to give, 2 Corinthians 9:6ff; Galatians 6:6], vv. 17,19
4. Giving is our priestly duty (one of the sacrifices we offer as NT believers), vs. 18
5. Giving should be sacrificial, vs. 19 (2 Samuel 24:24)
