In this sermon delivered in Grenada, the speaker challenges our traditional understanding of stewardship and spirituality. While many focus on the mechanics of tithes and offerings, the true priority for any steward is a personal, life-transforming connection with Jesus Christ. Drawing on 1 John 5:11-12 and Psalm 34, this message explores why God accepts the "offerer" before the "offering" and why a "holy life" cannot be replaced by religious rituals alone.Key topics covered in this message:* Global Mission Statistics: From the young church in Mongolia to the "warriors for God" praying for North Korea, discover the state of the gospel worldwide.* The Grenada Challenge: With a population-to-member ratio of 1 member for every 9 people, the mission in Grenada is uniquely positioned for a total gospel harvest.* The "Sinner" Requirement: Learn why being a "good" or "perfect" Adventist can actually hinder you, as Jesus came specifically to save those who recognize they are wretched, poor, and blind.* Accessing Eternal Life: Understand how eternal life is a new dimension that gives you access to the heavenly councils, where problems are solved "above" before they are solved here "below".* Supernatural Love: Discover why true love is not a natural human feeling but a supernatural gift from God that allows us to love even those who do not deserve it.If you have ever felt that religion is "boring," it may be because you haven't yet accessed the eternal reality found only in the Son of God. Join us as we explore how to move beyond outward compliance to a heart-level surrender that God can truly accept."The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their prayer." — Psalm 34:15.
