Topic: money

"Money is the root of all evil" That's the way it's been quoted over the years. When understood this way it's easy to think there's a real problem with money. Most people know this reference can be found somewhere in the Bible. But what if this verse doesn't actually say money is the root of all evil? 1 Timothy 6:10 is where we find this verse. It's actually a verse about the heart of man. When our hearts our out of whack, there's no telling the evil we are capable of. What if, in the end, our love for money prevented us from seeing eternity with a clear lens?

Did you know Jesus taught more on finances (and hell) than any other topic in the Bible? It's true. And there's good reason for it. In this sermon we look at the parable of the talents. There is much to learn about stewardship. In fact, it's written on our very money. "In God We Trust".  Is that just a slogan? Or is it what we truly believe? Is it a way of life? Is it an exercise of faith?  In this sermon we look at the parable of the talents. There is much to learn about stewardship.

What's the emotional response you get when you think of money?  Would you say it's a good feeling or a bad feeling? The feeling you get when you think of money likely indicates the relationship you've had with money to this point.  In this sermon, Mike shares the biblical wisdom about money from the entire counsel of God. It's easy to look at any one verse and take it out of context, or simply not understand it's original intent. It could lead some to hold unhealthy views of money and finances.   However, when you look at the entire counsel of God's Word on the topic of finances, y0u find a holistic, healthy view. What we find is, contentment is key to honoring God with our finances. It's a matter of the heart.
