Some people are more concerned with what they can get from God…
and not what they can give unto the Lord.
Genesis 4:1-4
The Lord doesn’t respect all gifts…see Cain and Able.
Make sure to give your best whenever you give to God.
Leave a legacy of giving your best.
What are you offering, building, adding to the God’s kingdom?
Don’t let someone’s title be of more importance to you than Jesus.
Genesis 8:13-26
Genesis 12:7-8
From the beginning, people worshipped the Lord.
Genesis 13:14-18
Genesis 26:24-25
(multiple occasions of people building altar’s to the Lord)
Back to Genesis 8
God pays attention and is pleased when you offer unto Him.
We can affect God with our actions. Aim to please.
Hebrews 13:14-15
We all have different gifts to offer, but we can all offer thanks with our lips.
What if you didn’t have a Worship Leader to tell you when to praise?
Make sure “God-stuff” comes out of your mouth often.
Doing good and communicating are sacrifices that the Lord takes pleasure in.
Does God consider you more like Cain, or Able?
Does your Super Bowl party get more priority than worship ever gets?
Make sure you offer your best in worship, and in all things unto the Lord.
Psalms 92:1-15
