Collecting Offering

New year, new experience - collecting offering! ehehehhe....

Many people said to me that when i'm on stage, i speak very much like pc. so, i contemplated whether to try something new by saying it like this...
"Proverbs says ‘One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.’
So, give me all your money!!" hahahhaha.....

of course i didnt say that but put it nicely like this...

"Jesus said in the book of Luke & Matthew, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Let us learn to honor God with our treasures and also with our heart.

Proverb also says ‘One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.’

As we give, we honor God with these treasures and with our heart so that we may prosper and may be refreshed by God. That’s a promise given to you.

Ushers, you may proceed.

Lord, we thank you for the abundance you’ve given to us – you’ve been a GREAT God. We lay this offering at your hands, bless it to be used for the extension of your purposes and works. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen."
