00:00:00.909 --> 00:00:08.075
You think how precious givers are.

00:00:08.075 --> 00:00:11.667
I think giving people are the most -

00:00:11.667 --> 00:00:13.155
who was it? McCheyne?

00:00:13.155 --> 00:00:14.540
We sang one of his songs -

00:00:14.540 --> 00:00:16.798
I think it was he that said

00:00:16.798 --> 00:00:18.680
that you should so live your life

00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:22.112
so as to be missed when you are gone.

00:00:22.112 --> 00:00:26.945
And there is nobody who is so missed

00:00:26.945 --> 00:00:29.198
as the giver.

00:00:29.198 --> 00:00:34.235
And you think of Dorcas (Tabitha)

00:00:34.235 --> 00:00:38.376
when she died.

00:00:38.376 --> 00:00:41.975
You know what's sad to say?

00:00:41.975 --> 00:00:45.145
There are some people 
within these four walls

00:00:45.145 --> 00:00:48.293
that if you were to die right now,

00:00:48.293 --> 00:00:51.988
you wouldn't be missed a whole lot

00:00:51.988 --> 00:00:54.441
because you're a taker.

00:00:54.441 --> 00:00:57.545
You're a depleter.

00:00:57.545 --> 00:01:01.787
And your life is not heavily characterized

00:01:01.787 --> 00:01:04.273
by being a giver.

00:01:04.273 --> 00:01:07.072
Givers are missed.

00:01:07.072 --> 00:01:09.122
Givers impact this world

00:01:09.122 --> 00:01:13.991
more than anyone else.

00:01:13.991 --> 00:01:15.020
Givers.

00:01:15.020 --> 00:01:19.472
How precious they are to the church!

00:01:20.072 --> 00:01:22.408
This excerpt is from the full sermon:

00:01:22.408 --> 00:01:23.820
Takers and Givers:

00:01:23.820 --> 00:01:26.589
Stop Stealing; Start Giving.
