My sermon on sacrificial giving from Palm Sunday.

· Tetelestai means ________________________. (John 19:30) (paid in full)
2. THREE REASONS SACRIFICAL GIVING IS HARD
A. ______________ Hinderance. (Debt)
- Crunch Bar = 70%aka normal (broke busted and in debt)
- Milk Duds= 2%Drowning in Credit Card Debt
- Average Credit Card Debt per household is $7,027 and nationwide is $416 BILLION dollars
- Zero Bar = 16%Zero, Zilch, Nada. Do not pass go, do not collect $200
- 100 Grand Bar= 10%Debt Free and Living Large

B. _________________ Hinderance. (Love)

C. _________________ Hinderance. (Heart)
When our lifeis surrendered to God then our moneycomes along with it. (Romans 12:1)
