In this, our 7th message through the series "#stewards," Dr. Buffy Cook finishes his teaching on how to be faithful stewards of our Finances by becoming "Grace Givers." Ever heard "Like father, like son"?! What's true physically should be true spiritually. 2 Pt. 1:4 says that as spiritual sons & daughters those in Christ have "become partakers of the Divine nature." In other words, like Father, like son/daughter. Our God is a GIVING God - redeemed us, justified us, adopted us - all by & because of grace! Yet if they were to step into the "Photo Booth of Giving," many Christians would bear little to no resemblance to the Father! Based on what God has given us how is it that we need encouragement to give & thus resemble our heavenly Father?! Yet, the Corinthians did, we do! Paul sets out to motivate them then & us today to become Grace Givers, who simply reflect their Father. He does so not through high-pressure "sales pitches," spiritual armbars or theological beat downs but by way of encouragement! Grab your Bible, a pen & a notebook as we examine 6 Encouragements to become Grace Givers from 2 Cor. 9, thus reflecting our heavenly Father who though we were strangers, yea enemies of Him, took us in and adopted us as sons & daughters of the Most High God!!!
