Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

I just want to talk to you today about being an extravagant giver. You know, when you live a life of giving,

you live the best possible life there is. Now, sometimes we think, well, I can't give all the time. If I give all the time,

I won't have anything left. Or we think, if I, if someone asks me for something that I don't

have, how do you expect me to give?

But can I tell you this today, that there is never a time that you are empty-handed.

You always have something to give.

In the book of Acts, Peter and Paul were walking to the temple to worship God.

It was a time of day where everyone came to worship at the temple. I can just imagine the crowd and everybody trying to get into the temple

so they could all get a good seat.

Kind of like this morning, you know, you got out of your car,

you were rushing here, you wanted to get your seat before someone took it.

You were all busy. And so they came

walking into the temple. They were passing the gates of the temple. And they passed a man who was

sitting there begging. Now the Bible talks about this man and this man had been crippled from

birth and the people that took care of him placed him at the gate

every single day. Obviously, it was a good place to sit for spare change because he was there every day.

I'm sure if it wasn't a good place, they would have moved him somewhere else, right?

So he was there that day begging, believing that he was going to get what he needed for that day,

have enough money
