"Offering"(2 Corinthians 9:1-9)

 2 Corinthians 9:1-9

 

In Second Corinthians, Paul talks to the church about offerings. In verses 1 to 5 Paul is excited to write about the eagerness of this church in Corinth concerning the preparation of their gifts for God. In fact, their zeal is an inspiration for Christians to give.

 

for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the people of Macedonia, saying that Achaia has been ready since last year. And your zeal has stirred up most of them.

2 Corinthians 9:2 ESV

 

We, too, need to prepare before we give gifts to God. This also includes our offerings of worship to God. Much like athletes who need to prepare before a game, we, too must ready our hearts and minds before going to church. Those athletes who prepare well before a game will perform better. With a church service, the more we prepare our hearts, the better we receive the service.

 

The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

2 Corinthians 9:6 ESV

 

Paul mentions a crucial point about giving. Many people might want to give after all their expenses and other monetary concerns have been taken care of, but, for God, we need to give first with a grateful heart. This is not just with our finances but with also our time. Indeed, we should not give sparingly to God, but generously. Too often we give just a few minutes of our time late at night just before we go to bed instead of giving our best time to God. We should sow abundantly with intention by laying down everything to God as we desire to. Our desire should be to please God and not others.

 

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:7 ESV

 

By giving cheerfully and not reluctantly to God, God in return will give you grace. God will work out those things that seem to be lacking. There may not seem to be enough time, money, or other resources to give to God and accomplish all that you need to for God’s kingdom, but God will give the grace to endure and eventually succeed.

 

And God can make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

2 Corinthians 9:8 ESV

 

God has given to us abundantly, and we can show our love to giving back to God abundantly. And we can do this with the knowledge that when we set out to do God's work, God will support us. God will take us to the end.


 

Who Am I

 Who Am I 

CCLI Song # 4196651 Mark Hall


Verse 1

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt?

Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart?

Pre-Chorus

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

Chorus

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind

Still, You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

Verse 2

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again?

Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me?

Pre-Chorus

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

Chorus

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind

Still, You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

Pre-Chorus

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

Chorus

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind

Still, You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

 

I am Yours 
I am Yours
 
Outro
Whom shall I fear? Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I
온 땅의 주인

Verse 1
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
온 땅의 주인 되신 주님이
내 이름 아시며 상한 맘 돌보네
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
어둠을 밝히시는 새벽 별
방황하는 내 맘 주의 길 비추시네

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
나로 인함이 아닌 주가 행하신 일로
나의 행함이 아닌 오직 주로 인하여

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean 
A vapor in the wind
나는 오늘 피었다 지는 이름 없는 꽃과 같네
바다에 이는 파도 안개와 같지만
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
주는 나를 붙드시고 부르짖음 들으시며
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
날 귀하다 하시네 나 오직 주의 것

Verse 2
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
주님은 나의 죄를 보시고
사랑의 눈으로 날 일으키시네
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
바다를 잠잠하게 하시듯
내 영혼의 폭풍 고요케 하시네

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
나로 인함이 아닌 주가 행하신 일로
나의 행함이 아닌 오직 주로 인하여

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean A vapor in the wind
나는 오늘 피었다 지는 이름 없는 꽃과 같네
바다에 이는 파도 안개와 같지만
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
주는 나를 붙드시고 부르짖음 들으시며
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours
날 귀하다 하시네
나 오직 주의 것

I am Yours
나 오직 주의 것

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are...
나로 인함이 아닌 주가 행하신 일로
나의 행함이 아닌 오직 주로 인하여

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
나는 오늘 피었다 지는 이름 없는 꽃과 같네
바다에 이는 파도 안개와 같지만
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
주는 나를 붙드시고
부르짖음 들으시며
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours 
날 귀하다 하시네
나 오직 주의 것

I am Yours, I am Yours
나 오직 주의 것, 나 오직 주의 것
