It Will Not Fail
Last week’s sermon laid the foundation for this series “Finding Good News in Bad Times†restating the basic idea of salvation through Christ. This week focuses on the accompanying idea according, to the apostle Paul, that if God sent Jesus to die for you, he will also give you “all thingsâ€. However, the problem many believers struggle with is the timing of it all or “when†to expect those blessings. God’s concept of time is vastly different from man’s finite understanding of linear time. God’s promises for your life will come right on time—in his time—just as Christ’s sacrifice came at the right time. You, as a believer, are to live by faith, waiting for God’s promised blessing that will certainly come just as Habakkuk 2:2-4 teaches—it will not fail.

A God Worthy of Praise
The apostle Paul wrote Ephesians as a man of great Christian experience. Indeed, he said, "I bear on my body the marks of Jesus" (Galatians 6:17) having suffered much for the gospel. Yet his primary thought when he thinks of his God and Saviour and what he has received is one of worship and praise.

Philippians 4:15-23 - Getting the Best Return on Your Investment
An Abundance mentality is a frame of mind in which a person believes there is "enough for everyone". It is contrasted with the scarcity mentality, which is founded on the idea that there is a lack in life, that opportunities are few and far between and given a finite amount of resources a person must protect what they have from others, This is, of course, useful for marketing because if you can convince people they are lacking something, then you can get them to buy that something. Clearly this is what our society is built upon. And Christians who have fallen prey to this mentality - to put it bluntly - are pathetic-lousy givers - not only in how much they give but in how they give. On the contrary, those Christians who have an abundance mentality have a contentment and a joy about giving that is alien to our society. It is this type of mentality that Paul had and also the type of mentality the Philippians had and it is they type of mentality we are to have as well. When we have an abundance mentality we rise above our circumstances - whether we have little or plenty. We are able to give sacrificially and faithfully and experience immense joy as we do it because we understand what we're really doing - we're investing wisely. We're giving as joint owners in the mission of Jesus.
