Today, open your Bible to Matthew 5: 23. We’ll read verses 23 & 24.

This is what the Bible says:
|
Diyin Bizaad k0t’4ego yee ak’e’azhch9:

The Bible talks about giving your offering with the right attitude. Just as 2 Corinthians 9:7 talks about giving your offering as a cheerful giver, the verse we had just read talks about settling your issues with people before coming to church.

When I am back in college at UNM, I regularly attend services at the Believer’s Center of Albuquerque. I’ve been regularly attending BCA for 10 years now. I’ve made some friends there & have become close to some family members of that church. So, I honestly I feel like I’m a part of that church family.

Sometimes when I’m there, I’ll try to talk to someone & get the feeling that they’re avoiding me. Or sometimes, I’ll get the feeling that someone was rude to me or snapped at me. It may be unintentional, or the circumstances may make it seem like they were rude, when they really weren’t. Regardless of what happened, I’ll find myself dwelling on it for the whole sermon.

Even though the worship service may be very good, or message may be spirit-filled, I’ll still be playing over whatever may have happened in my head.

It seems like when someone has hurt you, you dwell on it in church. It feels like you’re weighed down. You try to raise your hands to worship, fervently pray, or try to listen intently to the sermon. Still, your mind just drifts off & plays those moments over & over in your head on how this person has hurt you. I know because this happens to me too.

This is why Jesus says here in verses 23 & 24 to settle your grievances before giving your offering, so that your offering is not given with a negative attitude, & that both this church & you will be blessed by your giving… & that your burden will be lighter.

Let’s pray…
Lord, thank you for bringing this group from Landisville here today to minister to us. This week, as we meditate on this passage help us as we work on dealing with grievances before coming to church so that we not only give our offering with a right spirit, but that there will be no interruptions in our time spent with you. Thank you for providing us with an offering to give, for you are the provider. You are always providing us for our needs. Accept this offering as an offering of thanks!
Amen
