[ Music ] Good morning. How are you this morning? Good. I want to talk this morning about something that I think is very familiar to all of us. It has to do with birds. How many of you watch birds from time to time. I said good good. Well Margaret was in the kitchen washing

00:17:32.080 - 00:18:06.280

the dishes and she looked out the window and she saw a bird that was flying around the limb. There were other birds that were in the birdhouse. The mother bird was flying around, leaping from limb to limb, trying to get the birds to come out. And she had watched this from time to time, day after day. The birds were growing somewhat fat.

00:18:06.280 - 00:18:30.520

And finally, this particular day, she noticed still some didn't want to come out. They seemed to stay there. Finally, one bird sort of squeezed through and began to flutter the wings and began to fly.

00:18:30.520 - 00:18:50.800

It was really leaving the nest. The bird was leaving that nest that had been prepared by the mother. And there comes a time when we all have to leave the nest. It's the time if you just stay in the nest, you grow.

00:18:50.800 - 00:19:12.400

They had stayed there, they'd have grown fat and been unable to get out of that birdhouse. But going to school, you receive teaching and training that will help you in later life. You begin at home by the teaching and the training that your mother and your father, your parents give you.

00:19:12.400 - 00:19:32.480

They teach you how to do certain things and what you should do at certain times. And there comes a time as you grow up, you have to leave the nest and you have to make those decisions for yourself. The church also helps you in the way of learning how to make decisions so that you can do things

00:19:32.480 - 00:19:49.860

on your own. You can leave the nest. There is a passage of scripture in Psalm 104 and 14 which talks about the birds that make their nest in the trees of Lebanon.

00:19:49.860 - 00:20:19.500

So while we have the opportunity of having ourselves neatly nestled in the nest as we are young, we are also to prepare ourselves for the day when we will leave the nest, when will be on our own. May God help you and keep you as you seek to grow in Him. him.

Amen. We worship the Lord now in the sharing of our gifts. Let every one of us give according to how the Lord has prospered you. Christian giving is voluntary. It is systematic. It is proportionate.

We are not to just tip God, give him what's left when we have done all we want to do, but to arrange our priorities in such a way that God is first. On the first day of the week, let every one of you lay by him in store according to how the Lord has prospered you. Let us pray.

00:26:13.920 - 00:26:46.600

We bless your name, oh God, for all of the wonderful gifts that you shower upon us from above. Pray that you will bless us now in this time of sharing that we may first freely give ourselves to you without reservation and then use our substance that which you have entrusted to

00:26:46.600 - 00:27:05.880

our keeping for the furtherance of the gospel to the glory of Jesus Christ. So bless us now as we give in his name. Amen. [music]
