Frugality: The Principles of Timely Valuation and Gathering of the Crumbs

Do you place value on all that God has given you? Valuation of the people, gifts, experiences and things God has given are indicators of how wise or frugal you are with resources.

 

John 6:12-13 reads, “When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.”

 

Jesus did not let anything go to waste. He showed the disciples that there is value in the crumbs, in what appears to be little. When the crumbs were gathered, they were able to be multiplied.

 

Gather the crumbs in your life so that nothing is wasted. Be faithful with what appears little in your life so you can be ruler over much.

 

In today’s message you will hear how Gathering Crumbs in your life is a principal of valuation. May you appreciate the crumbs in your life!

Frugality: The Principle Of Valuation

This Sunday’s message is on frugality. Frugality is the wise use of the resources God has given you.

 

So, how do you practice Frugality? The first thing is to understand the principal of valuation. This is an understanding of placing value of the people and resources God has given you.

 

In Genesis 25:33 the Word says, “And Jacob said, swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.” Essau did not value is birthright and sold it for a bowl of porridge. He cried bitterly in the end when he finally realized that he had made a mistake.

 

You will be good stewards for God! You will appreciate what God gives you! Listen to today’s message to do deeper into how to value the things in your life.

You are a child of God! There are no stepchildren in Christ.

In this week’s message Reverend Lindsay will dig deeper into why it’s important to be a member of the church and permanent family member of the Lord. You will see how you are a member of Christ’s body, part of God’s family, part of God’s building and a part of God’s garden.

Introduction: How to develop permanent church members

In this Sunday’s message you will hear about staying close to the Lord and being part of Gods church.

You should stay in the house of the Lord. God wanted to make something better for you by bringing you to His family. Disconnection from church makes you and the church imperfect. You are part of the body of Christ!

The Psychology of Backsliding

What is the psychology of those who backslide? Proverbs 23:7 tells us, For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…” Backsliding is a heart matter that starts from the mind.

A thought in the heart becomes an attitude. An attitude becomes an action. Action becomes a behavior pattern. Behavior pattern becomes a lifestyle.
