Denis Lyle preaches about the story of an anonymous benefactor who generously provided for Dr. Barnardo's village for orphan girls and how God's provision often comes at the right time and from unexpected sources, just like in the case of Elisha and the trainee prophets at Gilgal during a famine. The sermon emphasizes the importance of sacrificial giving, following biblical principles like giving the firstfruits and giving generously even in times of scarcity, as demonstrated by the actions of the anonymous benefactor and Elisha. It challenges believers to trust in God's provision, be generous, and have faith that God can meet needs abundantly.

William MacDonald emphasizes the role of deacons in the church as servants who fulfill various ministries, highlighting their qualifications and the importance of integrity and faithfulness in their service. He explains that deacons must be grave, honest, and not greedy, and that their wives or deaconesses should also embody these qualities. MacDonald also discusses the rewards for deacons, which include a good standing among believers and boldness in faith, while stressing the need for proper financial stewardship within the church. He concludes by noting that the New Testament outlines only two roles in church leadership: bishops and deacons, rejecting the notion of a clergy class. The sermon underscores the simplicity and integrity required in church finances, advocating for self-supporting local congregations.

Colin Peckham emphasizes that Christian giving is an act of worship and thanksgiving to God, reflecting the believer's devotion and loyalty. The sermon highlights the importance of giving systematically, proportionately, individually, cheerfully, wholeheartedly, sacrificially, willingly, purposefully, faithfully, responsibly, generously, secretly, honestly, gratefully, and accountably, stressing the need for genuine motives and heartfelt surrender to Christ in stewardship.
