let's just believe for a miracle Father

in the name of Jesus Lord we pray Father

break every assignment of the enemy And

Lord we declare divine healing in Jesus'

as they travel to Oakland and Lord for

the surgery and for everything that's

going to happen But Lord we pray for an

amazing report Lord we speak to uh his

kidneys Lord we speak full health Lord

we break every assignment and in the

name of Jesus we bless this family Lord

to prosper in Jesus' name Amen Amen

Awesome And so let's keep him in our

prayers and just believe that God's

going to do something But uh Peter and

Karen do you guys want to come Uh it

would just be awesome to have these guys

come and share These guys go uh

regularly into the prisons to minister

and so they're just going to come and

give us a little update So uh welcome

guys

[Applause]

Can you hear

Um before we start into it um the Lord's

given me uh two scriptures and then uh

Karen will take over from there But they

but these scriptures come quite quite

clearly to me and um it's it's for us to

understand his word and to move with it

Yeah In Jesus name E okay The first one

is in

Romans Romans

10 chapter

14 How then shall they call on him in

whom they have not

believed And how shall they believe in

him whom they have not heard And how

shall they hear without a preacher And

how shall they preach unless they are

sent as it is written how beautiful are

the feet of those who preach the gospel

of peace who bring glad tidings of good

things So that's the first scripture And

the second scripture is

in

Ephesians Ephesians 6:12

Ephesians 6:12

For we do not wrestle against the flesh

and blood but against the

principalities against powers against

the rulers of the darkness of this age

against spiritual host of wickedness in

the heavenly

places So I'm going to leave it there

and Karen will carry on I think Is that

right Yes it will be

I was get you in the play Takes two to

tango you know Hey

Okay So um as you know Pete and I go to

the prison but we go with other people

So there's Koe that joins us Julianne

and Eley Um and at the moment that's our

team that go in there Now we go there

from here We go as the representative of

the Lord The reason we've come here

today is we need the church because it

is a spiritual battle where we're going

We're not going to a church building

We're going to the enemy's ground every

time we go there We need to be covered

by the blood But at the moment the

battle is with the

system Every few years the contract

comes up for the prison ministry for the

prisons And at this year it's coming up

They're already in negotiations and

talks which take a few months We need

the church to be praying not just for us

but for prison ministry to stay at the

head of the Christians We need the

Christians to be at the head because the

Lord calls us to be the head not the

tail Right We need to stay at the head

and the battle we're having is that

Islamic want that position

So we are fighting them as well They're

already doing zooms into the prison at

the moment and the talk is come and join

this because we can still

kill We need the church backing We need

your prayers your continuous prayers to

go into this place We need our

leadership to stay where it is

These guys need the salvation and we're

seeing the flood of God We're seeing the

miracles in there We're seeing his

presence flow through that place But we

need it to continue A lot of people

think you know it's just a place where

criminals go It's where they belong But

you know they got stories just like me

and you They've got stories and some of

them are heartbreaking stories And if we

were given a second chance they need

that They need a second chance God gave

me a second third fourth fifth sixth

chance So at least we can go in there

and give them that So please we need

your prayers to keep that head We need

the authority to stay where it is The

Lord the word the Lord gave us this year

for the prison was stand in the

authority we've been given

We stand in that authority every month

We don't fear going in there because we

know God's got our back We know that

going in there but we need the prayers

of our Christian brothers and sisters to

back the ministry of what God's put in

place And we always remember that

scripture that says those that didn't

visit those in prison didn't visit

me So please if we can just ask for your

continual prayer that Christianity stays

at the head Yeah Awesome Let's pray

today guys Father we thank you for this

awesome team And Lord thank you that

they are one of many teams throughout

the motu that are going in to see

prisoners set free And Lord we pray in

the name of Jesus that this would remain

an open door for the gospel Lord we

rebuke the plans of the enemy And Lord

we declare Lord not only will the door

remain open but Lord the fruitfulness

will increase in the name of Jesus Lord

that which the enemy meant for harm Lord

you would turn for good and there would

be the continued uh salvations and

harvest and miracles happening in the

prisons We anoint the team We bless them

We send them with grace and fire Lord we

thank you for their faithfulness in the

mighty name of Jesus Amen Amen Wonderful

Thanks guys

you know as a church um we talked about

we're leaning into prayer presence

mission and we we talked about how

prayer doesn't come easily to some

people And if if that's you I just

suggest you sign up to get Scott Rowley

to deliver you to the ladies uh high tea

because if you get in his car I think

it's about five liters your prayer life

will go to another level So you know

there's a hot tip right there If you're

struggling to pray you'll certainly be

closer to Jesus by the time uh you get

to uh the high tea That's for sure We

call it the Beer's School of

Intercession But uh hey we're um doing a

series at the moment that just started

two weeks ago and didn't just share so

well two weeks ago on the secret life

And uh as a church we're doing Lent And

Lent is the 40 days in the lead into

Easter And actually historically there

are three things that get practiced

during Lent And they are

almsgiving praying and fasting So these

are generally the three things that

actually hundreds of thousands if not

millions of believers all at the same

time will be leaning into these

practices And they're actually found in

Matthew 6 So they're found in Matthew 6

and they're attached to Jesus' command

that these are actually practices that

we do in secret And uh I realize we've

got a lot of visitors here this morning

And uh this morning we're actually

speaking on the practice of giving And

uh I know uh that can cause all kinds of

things People love it when pastors talk

about money uh but this morning we are

talking about the practice of giving and

the New Testament gives us two

priorities for giving uh I I believe and

that's number one is giving to the

church and number two is giving to the

needy Now this uh in Lent and and this

passage in Matthew it's actually talking

about giving to the needy though that

all of us as believers should actually

have a ministry where we give to people

who are in need And certainly as a

church we practice this We sew into

different ministries and into different

people and uh a and and that help the

needy And so this morning we're going to

unpack this a little bit And in Matthew

6 it says this "When you give to the

needy sound no trumpet before you as the

hypocrites do in the synagogues and in

the streets that they may be praised by

others Truly I say to you they have

received their reward But when you give

to the needy do not left let your left

hand know what your right hand is doing

so that your giving may be in secret and

your father who sees what is in secret

will reward you

You know it's interesting when we put

that scripture up because uh some people

straight away are going good I relate to

being the needy I I like please share

about giving to the needy because uh

that might mean there might be some uh

chuch-ching coming my way if people

listen to your sermon Probably in this

economic climate all of us could

identify with going flip I know what it

is to be needy What's interesting is

Jesus just said when you give to the

needy because he had already established

in the sermon on the mount earlier in

Matthew chapter 5 he'd said give to the

Matthew 5 · chapter mention

one who begs from you and do not refuse

the one who would borrow from you So

Jesus assumes that his followers are

going to be ones that will break

oppression through generosity to those

in need It's actually interesting He

doesn't say take hold of your bank

balance and decide whether it's

comfortable to give to the needy or not

He just says it is a command that we are

to give to the

needy That can raise a whole lot of

tensions can't it Well what can I afford

What needy do I give to to What happens

if my giving to them actually causes

some dependency and then they actually

get dependent on giving and it

reinforces laziness And what if my gift

actually rather than be a blessing would

be a curse Or what happens if I give it

and they go and use it for drugs and

alcohol Maybe it's better off in my

pocket Now those are all genuine

concerns that we need to have concerns

about Am I being a good

steward But here's a challenge for us We

need to be very careful that we do not

baptize our stinginess and call it

stewardship

you know that we do not say "Well this

is just wisdom I'm just really careful

before I give to the needy I know you

can't give to every situation You can't

give to everyone." But our disposition

as believers according to Jesus should

be one that lean in in acts of

generosity to those in

need And uh if you're like me sometimes

you almost want to do a background

check Oh you're needy I've just got 28

questions for you to fill in you know

and then I'll decide whether you meet my

qualifications and whether you're going

to be good seed or not I have a friend

who works for World Vision and she her

job is to fund raise She's just got the

job three weeks ago She told one of her

friends "I've got the job." Her friend

said to her "Yeah but what about the

local

needs?" And uh she said "Oh that's

awesome Tell me what you do to meet

local needs."

and her friend said "Oh nothing at the

moment." You see it wasn't actually

about having a heart for local needs It

was just about a an excuse to not give

And I think sometimes if we're honest

we've actually hardened our hearts in

areas of generosity We actually have

answers and and narratives that we tell

ourselves about why we can I love that

Why lie I need beer

It's like so

honest You'll be pleased to know I did

not sew into his beer ministry but I can

tell you cuz it was funny He he was

doing all right There were a lot of

people who were um but I love that Why

lie I need

beer And I guess all of us when it comes

to the needy there is that thought well

what if this gets misused

And I remember a good friend of mine he

had someone come and live with him and

they gave a lot financially to this

person and it turned out that the person

was manipulating them and they went back

to their place of prayer and they were

like "God why didn't I have discernment

God why couldn't I see that this wasn't

actually a gift that I was being

manipulated?" And the Holy Spirit spoke

to my friend and said

this If you are never in a place where

you give something that's been misused

you're too

stingy If you are always the gatekeeper

in such a strict way that I'll never

even let there be half an opportunity

that my gift could be misused Now we do

believe in wise giving stewardship all

of that Yes But our default should be

generosity and he felt the conviction of

the Holy Spirit a as the spirit spoke to

him and said "You didn't do the wrong

thing you did the right thing because I

want you leaning in with a posture of

generosity." It's funny in central

Targetago um we had one homeless man Um

you know it's pretty rough If you're

going to choose to be homeless -6°

winters probably aren't where you want

to do it So we didn't have a big

homeless population when I was living in

central but there was one guy and he

would sit outside the library and I

remember walking past one day and

someone was stopping and talking to him

and excuse the language it's not that

bad language but he said "Not another

bloody pie."

Cuz like everyone went and the the dairy

next to the library sold out of pies

every day cuz everyone thought "I know

what I'll do I'll go and buy the

homeless guy." one homeless man he's

getting like 26 offers of pies every day

The dairy's going "This is amazing

There's a bonanza on pies." And

uh you know sometimes we can choose to

be wise but we need to be people that

are moving towards generosity

You know when we give to people without

deciding whether they are totally worthy

of it or not we're actually being like

God In Matthew 5 it tells us that he

causes it to rain on the righteous and

the unrighteous He causes his sun to

shine on the righteous and the

unrighteous So he's actually saying "Hey

he doesn't God doesn't do a background

check on all things He actually blesses

humanity as a whole." He doesn't

actually say "Well I'm going to see if

yes there are some principles that we

follow We receive blessings." But he

doesn't withhold everything He actually

blesses people who don't deserve

it And we are actually invited into this

practice of the kingdom that blesses

people who don't deserve

it Giving to those in need should be a

secret practice

Uh I get it's kind of not really

appropriate to tell stories about times

you've given when you're speaking about

how giving should be secret right But

there was this time in Alex where what

would happen sometimes is it's really

annoying when your phone number is on

the church door because you'll get phone

calls from people um telling you stories

about what they need and you never have

any idea You don't know them You don't

know how serious it is You know Jesus

said "Give to the needy," but you're

like "I've got no idea who you are." And

so I used to find it awkward I'll be

honest Many times I said "Hey we have a

Salvation Army in town They're amazing

They can help you Thank God for the

Sally's and uh would encourage them cuz

uh to the Sies." But this Sunday night

this dude phoned me and he said "Hey I'm

I'm stuck in Alexandria and I need

accommodation."

And I was just about to filter through

to whatever appropriate excuse I could

find to um to sideways shuffle him And I

just found a conviction that I was

supposed to do something So I was like

"Oh." And um I would love to say my

discernment kicked in and thought it's

not safe to have him in our home And

that would have been true But it wasn't

just discernment It was you know

cowardice I'm like "He's not coming to

my house." So I was like "Flip what do I

do?" So I looked up local uh the local

backpackers It's like "Oh they're full."

I'm like "Ah." So I'm like "What do I

do?" So uh like uh I'm trying to find

the cheapest accommodation I can right

Like I'm not going to the So I'm

googling I go on to Airbnb I'm like "Let

me check Airbnb." And so I see there's

someone that has a caravan at their

house off to the side I'm like "Yeah I

could send them a vagabond to stay at

that They'd probably really appreciate

that." So I was like "Hey it's it's like

$60 a night." And I see "Hey you can

book it straight away Instant

confirmation." I'm like great That way I

know he's not taking me for a ride So I

said to him hey because I told him I'd

phone him back I said hey if it's really

accommodation you're after I have some

accommodation for you that I can book

And so he said oh that would be amazing

And I said okay well meet me here

outside this place and I'll give you the

money and you can go in and um that will

be your accommodation And so I I pushed

book on this place drove round there met

him gave him the money and um he uh he

phoned me 10 minutes later and said "Oh

no The the the people who run the

caravan were actually away and they

don't have accommodation for me." Um so

I said to him "Well look hey you've got

that money You know go and find

somewhere you'll be okay." What was

hilarious was you know so your giving is

supposed to be in secret but I didn't

realize I booked it on my Airbnb Well

someone came home They checked their

thing and they actually knew who we were

And so I think they were like "Sarah's

finally kicked him out The pastor's

booking a caravan in his name on Sunday

night We're all waiting for her to

finally get sick of him." And uh so she

she phoned me the next day and said "Did

you try and book my

caravan?" It was a little bit

embarrassing to say "No it wasn't for me

I was trying to put a drifter into your

house um so that they didn't have to

come in mine." And I reflected on it I

was like "Oh I don't know if I was being

generous or what I was doing." But the

reality is this Our giving is supposed

to be a secret

practice What it actually says is when

you give

uh like the hypocrites who it says sound

trumpets Now some people have said that

literally that's what happened Uh

there's really no evidence for that This

wasn't a literal practice that they

sounded a trumpet when they gave It was

just a turn of phrase to say it's like

blowing your own trumpet The guys who

gave gifts and wanted to be seen by

everyone The word literally translates

to your reward will be received in full

There is no other reward for you That if

you've given in a way that is to be seen

by other

people you receive your reward in full

Now the challenging thing for us is this

is a subtle thing right it doesn't it

doesn't it's not grandstanding very few

of us go wow I really want to be seen to

my giving it's far more subtle than that

you know it's what happens if you give

and someone doesn't say thank

you that's not that's not a good feeling

and so this idea that it is to be secret

but here's the danger if it's not secret

you receive your reward in full through

the praise of people And can I suggest

to you that is a very shallow reward

because the same people that say thank

you one time will judge your gift the

next time The same people who say "Wow

that was so amazing that you gave Next

time will be like,"Wow they didn't give

to me this time I was in need." Or or

they think they're so mighty with their

giving but what about this need or that

need A and and and I guess we've all

done it in at times where we actually

judge what someone else is doing with

their finances And it's a it's a shallow

reward to be rewarded with

acknowledgement from people because the

people who praise you for giving will

equally be the ones who the next day

will criticize you for what you didn't

give or that you didn't give enough You

know it's a little bit like the the lady

pouring the perfume over

Jesus And Judas says "Wow that could

have been money could have been given

and sold for the poor He didn't actually

have a heart for the poor I always find

it interesting It's when people say to

you you know well God can't be real

because there are starving children in

the world And again you say to them oh

that's so awesome that you've got a

heart for starving children What are you

doing Oh

nothing And so you're holding God to a

standard but you could meet something

but you're not

And you know sometimes we can be in

environments where we

actually spiritualize and we I remember

being in a prayer meeting where

someone's car had broken down and they

were asking for prayer because they

could not afford the repairs But when

you stopped and looked around how many

people were in the prayer meeting it's

like we could actually just choose not

to pray about it and each give

$20 and their car would be fixed

Or we could go man we really need to

extend our faith to believe for 250

Let's believe for breakthrough Let's

pray that the windows of heaven would be

opened And I believe sometimes God's

sitting there going it's not the windows

of heaven that needs to be opened it's

your

wallet You know just just just open your

wallet give make a difference A and

sometimes we're super spiritual when we

actually just need to be practical What

about this one Sometimes we're like "Oh

I'm just asking the Lord how much to

give." I do believe the Lord sometimes

directs

us But I I also believe he actually

wants us to be generous without us

having without him having to tell us

what to

do You know we sometimes don't ask the

Lord before "What's the exact amount

that I should spend on this television

Lord Lord what's the exact amount I

should spend on this What's the exact

amount I should spend on that?" And I do

believe that the Lord will sometimes

guide us but I believe bigger than that

what he actually wants is generous

people What he actually wants is people

who look like his son that will give

without having been told what to give

But there's actually generosity flowing

out of our hearts to the

needy See he says you know you shouldn't

give in front of others And then he goes

on to

say,"Do not let your left hand know what

your right hand is doing." And some

would interpret this to say that often

right hands are what they presented

gifts with and left hands are what they

received with And so left hand often

talks about building yourself up about

receiving and right hand talks about

giving And so in part what he's saying

is this Don't use your giving to puff up

your ego Don't allow yourself to think

more of yourself because of what you're

giving Our giving should be to break

down oppressive power structures not to

put us in the place of power

I always remember well not remember it

was quite reasonably recently there was

a situation where I'd given something to

someone and then a little bit later they

wanted to give something to me and I

remember uh the words came out of my

mouth no you don't have to do that and

part of what I was thinking was that um

they were in more need than me and I

they didn't need to use their resources

on me but as I heard the phrase come out

of my mouth something triggered for me

And when I went home and thought about

it I felt so convicted that the Lord was

like "You like being the person in the

position of power You actually like to

be the one that gives." Like you're

using that giving because it actually

places you in a position of power And so

then when they want to give back to you

you can't receive it because you

actually like the idea that you don't

need to receive anything from them

I really wanted to argue about that but

it was the

Lord and sort of saying do not doesn't

really work with

God See

sometimes we can give in an unhealthy

way that's actually

reinforcing our pride rather than

humility

And so he says "Hey don't even let your

left hand know what your right hand is

doing Give in such a way that you don't

meditate on how amazing you are because

of the gifts you've given but you

actually are doing it in humility

because you realize that the Lord has

placed something on you Can you imagine

every Christian within Moana how

different it would be if we all had a

heart to give to the needy I'm not

saying we met every single need we come

across I understand we can't do that But

what would happen if we our generosity

just changed one on the dial How

different would the needy in our city

be The awesome thing about giving is

that it does carry a

reward It's just the reward is not the

things that we might be most likely to

grab In Matthew 4:4 he says "If your

Matthew 4:4

giving is in secret our father who sees

in secret will reward you." There's an

awesome story in Acts 10 about Cornelius

and and an angel actually turns

up to visit Cornelius He has an

encounter with an angel and the angel

actually says "I am here because of your

el prayers and your elm's giving." God

has noticed what you gave And so an

angel turned up because of his giving

And and this isn't giving to the church

that we're talking about This is giving

to the poor Because he had given to the

poor An angel turned up That's pretty

amazing right Like that's quite a reward

I cannot promise you that if you go out

and give to the needy that tomorrow

there'll be an angel in your room But

what I can promise you is this The Bible

says those who give to the poor lend to

the Lord And it says he is our rewarder

When we give to the needy we are storing

up rewards from our father in

heaven When I was uh in my early 20s I

went on a mission trip to Florida Um a

bit of a weird place to go on on a

mission trip to It was doubly weird that

it was a jet ski evangelism team

True So it was a jet ski evangelism team

Thankfully it was wet suits and not

speedos So that was a good um that was a

good thing But what would the idea was

that we would uh get on these jet skis

uh jet ski into a bay in Florida and

five jet skis would turn up and then

we'd preach the gospel on the beach and

and share the love of Jesus Well while

we're in the Florida Keys there's a

large homeless population in the Florida

Keys because it's so warm year round

right So a lot of the homeless move

there particularly during winter and we

were there during winter because it's

quite mild And so they said "Hey

tomorrow we're going to go out with this

team who work with the homeless." And I

was like "Okay." And so when we turned

up it wasn't a team It was actually just

a cap a couple And

uh we'll call them Jack and Judy I think

that was their name So um Jack and Judy

were like there and they were like "Let

us tell you our story." And Jack's like

"I was I own several businesses." who's

I actually uh had a house with a lake

and a uh airport hanger and a runway at

my house and um I was thinking "Oh he

must have crashed." You know like he

must have lost everything No he didn't

lose everything He said "I just hit a

certain age in my life and there was so

much emptiness." I was like "I've got

everything but I'm just empty." He's

like "It was like a spiritual midlife

crisis." and he's like "Through a number

of steps I ended up selling everything

and moving to Florida at to work with

the homeless." And so so we're going to

take you out today So what happened was

they took us out and they had um these

backpacks that we put on and they were

full of cans and socks And you can

imagine but I actually found the bag

quite heavy And so uh there there were

socks and cans of food The first guys we

got to got cans of food not socks I was

smart enough to realize if I give out

the cans of food that will um lighten my

load So they're like got any socks No

Yeah Have some cans of food I've got a

real spirit of generosity about

me And you know I remember we this guy

would have been in his early 60s You

wouldn't really think he would relate to

um these guys but he'd just been

building into their lives over an

extended period You know he knew

everything We walked down a thing He

said "See those bushes there?" He said

"There'll be some homeless living in

there." He said "Do you know what that

fence is?" No I don't know what the

fence is That fence is uh the other side

of that fence is the nicest golf course

in the Florida Keys He said "It's $800

to play around in that golf course and

there's a fence and there's people

sleeping behind it." You're like "Wow."

And then you know we go down under the

bridge and he knows there's one guy

who's got his warrant out And so um with

all the coolness and swagger of a 63y

old he starts going "Bad boy bad boy

what you gonna do to this homeless guy

because he because he's got a warrant

out and he's gonna uh be arrested right

And so we're going through and we get

back and we sit down and he kind of has

this fatherly moment with the team and

he sits down and I'm thinking about the

as he talks I'm thinking about the cans

that I was so keen to get rid of And he

said "Do you know what I've learned

through this ministry

When we give to others who are in need

we release our own burden and our own

burden becomes lighter But if we come

back with that which we were called to

give it actually ends up weighing us

down If we come back with the things

that we were supposed to be giving to

the needy and we carry them ultimately

they end up weighing us down I do not

know what reward the Lord wants to give

you in relation to your giving But I do

know this When we hold on to the things

that God is calling us to give to the

needy they no longer are a blessing to

us They are now a burden And maybe part

of our giving actually realigns

something where that which was a burden

to us given to someone else actually

releases our burden and becomes a

blessing

I don't know what that looks like for

you but we are going to have just a

moment You want to close your eyes and

maybe place your hand on your

heart And Lord if we have been in

positions where we've had

narratives around giving and maybe we've

had excuses of why not to give And Lord

maybe it's hard because the only amount

we can give is very small Lord I pray

you would help us to be faithful with

what we

have Lord that you truly would be our

reward Lord in our giving that burdens

would fall off our life and Lord that

people would be blessed Just as we close

this morning I just want to pray for one

more group of people here as we've been

talking about giving You know we're

gathered here as a church because we

believe that Jesus gave everything for

us The reason why we talk about giving

is because our God is a giving God And

we believe that Jesus came and died on a

cross for the wrong things that we've

done so that we could be connected with

him And if you're in this place and

either you you've you have known Jesus

before but you're very far from him Or

if you're in this place and you've never

given your life to Jesus and maybe

you're sitting here and thinking I know

today is the day that I need to make

that decision then I'm just going to ask

everyone to close their eyes And if

that's you this morning and you're in a

place where you're like I know I need to

come back to Jesus or I know I need to

ask God into my life If that's you I'm

the only one looking I'm just going to

ask you to raise a hand

I see that hand God bless I see that

hand God bless

you

Five

four

three

two one We're just going to say a prayer

together Um and if you know if you've

raised your hand everyone else is going

to be in agreement with this prayer But

we're just going to pray and uh we you

don't need to say it out loud I'm just

going to say the words but you can just

echo them in your heart if this is a

decision that you've made this morning

Dear Lord Jesus I choose to give my life

to you again I ask that you would

forgive me of my sins the wrong things

that I've done and you would give me a

brand new start in life in

relationship with

you in Jesus' name Amen

Hey if that was uh for anyone that said

that prayer this morning um for the

first time or a recommmitment we know uh

that was a short prayer and that's

really just the start of a relationship

that God wants to continue to build with

you So we'd love to be able to connect

with you after this service Nathan's

down here So Nathan do you want to stand

up And so after the service if you said

that prayer just come come down the

front uh connect with Nathan He'd love

to be able to pray for you and just us

help you in your next step But apart

from that we will hand back to

Icel Come on church
