Summary

The central message is that God gives to a person in direct measure to the extent of what that person gives to Him. Drawing from Jesus' example of total surrender to the Father, the speaker warns against holding back any part of one's life, time, or resources for personal plans or worldly pursuits. True commitment means giving everything, as God will only work with the measure of devotion offered.

Outline

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

What attitude did Jesus have?The Apostle Paul pointed believers to the attitude of Jesus, who humbled Himself, became a servant, and left Heaven because He wanted others to share in what He had.

Are you willing to pay any price to build the church?The speaker challenges listeners on whether there is any limit to their obedience or if they hold areas back from God.

Why did Paul choose Timothy?Paul wanted to send someone to the Philippian church and chose the younger Timothy because he lacked anyone else with Timothy's genuine concern and selfless spirit.

Most co-workers seek their own interestsWhile Timothy genuinely sought the good of others and the interests of Christ, most other co-workers only served when it was convenient and aligned with their own plans.

God gives in the measure in which we giveGod operates on a principle where He measures back to us according to the standard of measure we use in giving to Him.Luke 6:38

Getting a teaspoon of graceIf you only give a teaspoon of your life to God and keep the best parts for your own secular job and plans, you will only accomplish a fraction of what God intended.

Treating God with the dregs of our livesMany believers give 80 to 90 percent of their lives, time, and energy to their own families and careers, leaving only the dregs for God.

Excusing our lack of giftsPeople often excuse their lack of spiritual gifts by saying God did not give them, failing to realize that God withholds because they only gave Him a teaspoon of themselves.

All that is mine is yoursJesus revealed the secret of His relationship with the Father in His prayer, stating that everything He had belonged entirely to God.John 17:10

Giving everything to the FatherBecause Jesus held nothing back—surrendering His time, energy, health, money, and relationships—the Father responded by giving everything to Him.
