Miracle in Franklin: The Rest of the Story

After watching the video, reflect on these questions:

1. Ernie and Rebecca seem to talk more about receiving than giving. Is it possible to give and receive at the same time?

2. Instead of landscaping their house, Ernie and Rebecca gave $10,000 to near-strangers. Do you feel sorry for them?

3. Was it bad stewardship to give away $10,000 with no tax benefit?

4. Many people tend to think these givers were rich and simply had lots of money sitting around. How is the story different now that you see Ernie and Rebecca as a normal couple who had to give something up to make this sacrificial gift?


In this video, a request to give an appreciation gift to a pastor becomes a life-changing experience as one couple listens for the Lord and follows his prompting to give. We often tell of how gifts bless the receivers. Now, hear the rest of the story that powerfully demonstrates how it is more blessed to give than receive.
