I don’t which service your small group members were in, but I know I said, “Southside doesn’t need your money” in one if not both of the services. I also said in one of the services, “If you don’t want to give a percentage of your income to Southside, that’s fine, just give it somewhere”. They can come to our church and give their money to Central, Second, or the Salvation Army and that’s fine with me. Oh well, I did my best to level the playing field and admit my own selfishness, but sometimes people just hear what they want to hear. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving! Matt Hey Mike,

Thanks for the comment.

Some of my small group members were a little more on the defensive about the message though. How do I explain to them, that the message wasn't about, "Give more of your money to the church"? I didn't hear that in your message, but somehow they did. I enjoyed the sermon, Matt. Some of my small group members were a little more on the defensive about the message though.
