Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on
earth, where moth and rust destroy and
where thieves break in and steal, but lay up
for yourselves treasures in heaven, where
neither moth nor rust destroys and where
thieves do not break in and steal. For where
your treasure is, there your heart will be
also.
                       Matthew 6:19-21 (ESV)
No one can serve two masters, for
either he will hate the one and love
the other, or he will be devoted to the
one and despise the other. You cannot
serve God and money.
                     Matthew 6:24 (ESV)
1. SPEND LESS
“Spend less, except when
you should spend more.”
“I don’t believe one can settle how much we ought to
give. I’m afraid that the only safe rule is to give more
than we can spare. In other words, if our expenditures
on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc. are standard
with other people who are in the same income
bracket as us, we are probably giving away too little. If
our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should
say they are too small. There ought to be things we
should like to do and cannot do because our
charitable expenditure excludes them.”
                                                -C.S. Lewis
What if we focused less on
what we spend and MORE on
giving from a place of true
worship?
1. SPEND LESS
2. GIVE MORE
The Need
• Nearly 1,000 children are orphaned due to AIDS in
  South Africa each day.
• It is estimated that nearly 5.3 million people are
  living with HIV/AIDS in South Africa
• Average life expectancy in South Africa is now 54
  years – without AIDS, it is estimated that it would be
  64. Over half of 15 year olds are not expected to
  reach the age of 60.
• 71% of deaths among those aged between 15 and 49,
  are caused by AIDS.
• An estimated 1.9 million people were newly infected
  with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa in 2008, bringing the
  total to 22.4 million people living with HIV.
Our Response
• What if we committed to spend less
  & give more?
• Let’s set aside our gifts between now
  & Christmas.
• During our Christmas Eve &
  Christmas morning services we’ll
  receive an offering for Blessman
  Ministries in South Africa.

Advent Conspiracy 3 Slides, 12/11/11

  • 1.
  • 2. Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19-21 (ESV)
  • 3. No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. Matthew 6:24 (ESV)
  • 5. “Spend less, except when you should spend more.”
  • 6. “I don’t believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I’m afraid that the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare. In other words, if our expenditures on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc. are standard with other people who are in the same income bracket as us, we are probably giving away too little. If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditure excludes them.” -C.S. Lewis
  • 7. What if we focused less on what we spend and MORE on giving from a place of true worship?
  • 8. 1. SPEND LESS 2. GIVE MORE
  • 9.
  • 10. The Need • Nearly 1,000 children are orphaned due to AIDS in South Africa each day. • It is estimated that nearly 5.3 million people are living with HIV/AIDS in South Africa • Average life expectancy in South Africa is now 54 years – without AIDS, it is estimated that it would be 64. Over half of 15 year olds are not expected to reach the age of 60. • 71% of deaths among those aged between 15 and 49, are caused by AIDS. • An estimated 1.9 million people were newly infected with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa in 2008, bringing the total to 22.4 million people living with HIV.
  • 11. Our Response • What if we committed to spend less & give more? • Let’s set aside our gifts between now & Christmas. • During our Christmas Eve & Christmas morning services we’ll receive an offering for Blessman Ministries in South Africa.
