Echo
“It's What We Do”
Matthew 25:31-40

“Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat (echo) them in our day, in our time make them known”  – Habakkuk 3:2

God, do it again!

God…
Always comes through
Is our re-supplier
	Cares about our heart
	Wants us to be like Him

Why do we give God our money?
Giving is how we are most like God
Shrinks the power that money has 

Matthew 10 & 25

1st century value of being on the “right”
	A person of importance
Seat of honor
	Symbolized a follower of Jesus

“…the least of these…”
	Hungry & thirsty – 10:9-10
No clothes – 10:10
	No place to stay – 10:11-14
Arrested (persecuted, struggling) – 10:17-20
	“Whatever you did for one…” – 10:40

“The least of these” was not the poor, but the disciples to expand the Kingdom of God.

Includes…
	Hungry
	Poor
	Those who have less
	Struggling and persecuted 

Followers of Jesus support other followers to tell others about Jesus.

When we sacrifice for the Kingdom, we are giving honor!
