amen 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 to take care of himself and the people who helped him well this particular day when Peter and John were walking past the the gate he hollered out to them and he said hey I need some money he was begging
