following program is sponsored by seattle open door church yet all open door church is committed to loving god loving people and loving life our doors are open to whomever no mass required seattle open door church your message today is going to be anti these give you a new testament giving principle so last week we talked about eight reasons why not to give according to the new testament not to die the week before we gave you a raises in the old testament why not to tie so he gave  sixteen reasons why not to tie and if you aren't here that sounds crazy because we actually gave you sixteen reasons right to tie than that the blessings that come with it today we're going to talk about as a new testament principle about giving and if you think that tithing of ten percent is something when you look at the new testament it gets a lot more than that but to start out we have a video for you it's a good lease understand what type of a means of a ten percent means so we have put a video that will help you to understand that in today's economy accountants get a really bad rap battle you know we thought we were going to fight it we're just going to claim that and so we are we are redeeming the bad rap that accountants get well this doesn't feel good perhaps i'm best off with giving a little distance to this moment a little less you want to join us you know know kno if you have a hundred how much should you give back in time i k now going to miss you all up for everything you deserve for get that video is the tide in the new testament trick question is tied in the new testament you'll see a bunch in the new testament talking about ty that doesn't say ten percent there's a principle of giving and we have the ten percent as a concept to work off of we're going to show you in scripture that while jesus operated was much different than that and so if you think of the new testament you get off the hook guess what new testament get off the hook you're on the hook in a greater way than ever so let me give you an example how many know that jesus talked about the ten commandments  talk about the ten commandments there is one take a man with a jesus talked about in a tent command that he talked about one of the you talked about was about adultery and he said what if you have lost after a woman what did he say to commit adultery does it sound like jesus less the standard jesus less than the standard no he didn't lessen the standards of g s that less than the standard there is some areas that he did it less than the standard so this take a look at a matthew chapter five verses thirty eight to forty two if you have a i for an eye and a tooth for tooth when he said that you heard what it was said and i for an eye a tooth for tooth he was speaking what the old testament said the old testament said that if somebody wronged you then you could take and get your  gaffe ok but i say did not really make me want to cry because i know your story is amazing just his platform ok but i say to you do not resist the evil person whoever slaps your on your right che so you're the evil person i was going to slap you i wanted to turn around and have you have and i get to slap you but it says the evil person slaps you on the right cheek slap me in the right cheek i'll die that's not a slap  listen to jesus take the standard further to all testament set of somebody pokes you in the eye you can poke them back new testament if they poke you in the eye you do  here get the other one now i'm going to tell you something i want you to think about this if we practiced this principle how many people are so evil so wicked that if they poked in your eyes is th all here poke the other one how many would most would not so if we really follows principle what would happen that evil man turns around and sees your love cheese you instead of fighting back says go ahead that makes you feel good do it how me know most people would never do it no matter how evil they are why because a be a shocker to all we as christians should be a shocker to the rural when a rule does something wrong to us we should be a shock to them that instead of taking revenge we forgive and that's what jesus was saying then he says if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt give them what your code al somebody sues me now if they sue me and they get my shirt and guess what somebody could sue me and i could be found guilty when i'm not guilty right because somebody sue me that i sold them a bad car but i sold them a good car but the  used car breaks down so i saw my brand i saw my used car and it runs smoother runs fine and then three months later transmission goes out and they want to sue me because they're saying i knew the transmission went out if you know the transmission i got you sell it that's a different story but i know a christian would never do that don't ask me what's wrong with a car so i don't have to lie ok so a christian should but say you get sued for that transmission being bad and it isn't your fault the person had the car for three months and it went bad what does this say to do it says if a person sues you take your shirt give me a coat also you know what you would do you turn around to pay for the transmission that's what that's saying they suit you but you turn around to pay for a brand new transmission what would happen if you did that would have christians really started walking like that you think people start shaking their head what's with these christians to go that extra mile give to him who ask of you do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you now don't take it of this and take jesus saying something i didn't say to jesus says what you should be as go around tell people slap me in the face am i'm a victim a doormat is that would jesus say that's not the principle that jesus was teaching he and it says the sun was the boss what you do is you don't people to people who never pay back is that wise it's probably not the wisest thing to do so don't take it for the what is but that jesus take a prince a ball and make it stricter yes he absolutely did so this take another jesus in anger matthew five twenty one twenty two now he turns around and tells him you know what's supposed to happen to somebody that commits murder is supposed to go to court right then jesus says verse twenty two but i say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother should be guilty before the court and whoever says to his brother you good for nothing shall be guilty before the supreme court and whoever says you fool shall be killed enough to go into the fiery now i think jesus took a commandment further he says that even if you're angry at somebody is as if you committed murder to jesus take a principled stretch of further or did he say i'm you know i'm i'm floating jesus you know i'm i'm i'm the flower jesus you know i i wear my hippie outfit in and i run around with flowers and i say blah blah blah does that sound like that here that's not the g s i see here there's a g s that says if you have  anger that it is the same as committing murder and he says that you'll be taken to the supreme court do you think the supreme court is god himself when he says that listen he don't even say listen he doesn't say if you're angry he says what w hell so anybody ever call somebody a fool every day how many big some people are fools this don't take this to the extreme ok some people are fools and yet this it was somebody say that was very foolish you're acting like a fool but this is talking about context as what anger is that strong words so if anybody getting that jesus took a standard and one who has none and he who has food is to do soul likewise so jesus says there is if you have two tunics two coverings two outfits two shirts two coats however you want to look at it if you have two coats your to share one with someone that doesn't have none does as c m like jesus saying they give more than ten percent anybody no matter if i out of one call and i give you another called i gave you what percentage of the other called i gave fifty percent of what i had but one percent of the coat that i give you other did you take ten percent given the ten percent ok he's saying dad you give fifty percent because you're taking a half of what you haven't given that's fifty percent and you're not given a piece of the half that you gave these was addressing he was dressed in the idea that there's a ne that you give be off on what is standard to give to meet that need he who has food here to do the likewise so if somebody has no food and you have food what's the princip do you feed them to jesus take the standard higher if you have food you feed i'm so out of it the concept is that jesus saying is that you give abundantly you give out of a cheerful heart you give out of that out of concern that you're trying to do your reach out is get the balance i'm not saying that all the time some way to stand with the sayed to give him food but god can fix you so what is the principle of jesus teaching us to give beyond anybody figuring out the jesus wants say he who sold sparingly will also reaps sparingly he purposed in his heart not grudgingly or under compulsion for god loves a cheerful giver so here's another principle that's in the new testament when you give you give because you want to all testament you gave because you had to it was the law you had to follow the law so all testament you follow the law all testament you gave that ten percent read you want to or not giving greater than giving ten percent yes but you get off the hook because you can be eight you need to be a cheerful giver soul somebody in this room says you know what i'll make sure i'm never cheerful so i don't have to give  you know a lot every week that pastor preaches and giving it makes me angry so i'm not going to give and i'll wait till i'm not angry when i give it all on your way to you're not angry to give you away forever because it's a heart condition and that's what jesus was dressin with all the stuff he was addressing the heart where your heart when there's a need do you meet that need if you can why you know i do it is secret everything's in secret everything in secret and you tie don't put your name on it you give make it in secret but do something but then there's that legalism of i got to do things in secret so you know i don't nobody to know that i never help you now and then nobody knows you ever help it out and so out of it is you know what that return around and and taken off rain for some kind of cause and i don't want anybody to know a soul i'm going to give later how me know what you wait to give later guess what can happen you never do it people say you know what i mean the when i read the lottery this is what i'm going to do while a very personal one the lotteries that have been going on if they did what they said they were going to do there'd be a lot of people taken care of is amazing that they'll give to the god tells us something he gives us a promise whenever god commands something he gives a promise when ever god asked us something he gives us a blessing that comes with it god always rewards our obedience all ways rewards obedience in verse eight and god is able to make all grace  a need that you're going to have a sufficiently what you need for that need doesn't always work out the way we wanted to know anybody ever tied when they didn't have a lot of money anybody tie when they have a lot of money and bunch of money didn't come you'll never hear this preacher say if you're in need then you give and then tomorrow god's going to for sure give it to you so if i need ten dollars and i only have a dollar i give the dollar and then god for sure going to give the ten dollars you'll never hear me say that because a bible doesn't teach that but god meet my need if i only have one dollar i give and i need ten dollars can god take care of it some way somehow some way and some place yeah and maybe you can't put the numbers together figure out how to happen but it happen committed to loving god loving people and loving
