<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: First sermon from this text or on this subject very sensitive. "Church is a money grabber," "All they talk about is money." If you are new today or hold that concept, I hope you put nothing into the offering and if you did please don't ever do it again. Giving is the privilege of the believer. Passed over this text again, but God spoke to me about it. I was robbing the people of the blessing from God.</div>
