God and Money #10 - This is the last sermon of the God and Money series. We are going to think about investing in the next generation. Part of being a good steward of the money that God gives us is to think about what will happen to it once we are gone. None of this matters if we don't have a growing relationship with Jesus. The most important thing we can pass down to the next generation is a love for Jesus. Learn more about The Bridge Church: Website: https://thebridgechurch.hk/

Bo Noonan teaches on what the Kingdom of God has to say about money and possessions. We see that money and possessions are not neutral things in our lives, but rather things that vie for our affections and worship. As followers of Jesus we want to view them in light of his reign and rule, which allows us to use them as tools rather than following them as masters.

Talking about money is not always easy. We live in a society full of consumerism, debt, college loans, and abundance over scarcity. As we look to guide our children in the ways of Christ, how can we as parents instill in our children a healthy outlook on stewardship over money? Joe sits down with Drew and Teresa Steury to talk all about teaching your kids to be responsible and generous with what they receive.

In this message from James 1:9-11, Pastor Tom addresses how our relationship with money—whether in humble or wealthy circumstances—can be a spiritual trial. He explores the transient nature of wealth and the importance of finding identity and joy in Christ, not material possessions. James challenges both the poor and the rich to recognize their spiritual position in Christ, calling them to rejoice in their identity as heirs to God's kingdom. The message encourages believers to let go of the world's values, embrace humility, and place their trust fully in God for true peace and eternal security.

God and Money #4 - As Christians how do we spend money in a way that honors God? In this weeks sermon, we see that Godly stewardship is not about limiting ourselves to the basic necessities or indulging in excessive luxuries. It is in seeking God's wisdom, so that our spending blesses ourselves and the people around us.

God and Money #3 - In our interactions with money, we are constantly in danger of being ‘shipwrecked' by the twin dangers of fear and greed. These emotions run deeper than just with money - they are symptoms of something wrong in our relationship with God. Learn more about The Bridge Church: Website: https://thebridgechurch.hk/

Heart For The House: Cultivating a spirit of generosity.

Pastor Ryan Van Horn - Resurrection Chattanooga - 11/3/2024 At Resurrection, we are cultivating a community of people who, through grace and practice, are learning from Jesus how to live. We desire to be a home for the prodigal, an authentic people — humble, generous, and unified.

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” - Matthew 6:24Serving two masters is not merely an economic or social concern but is profoundly spiritual. It touches on what it means to be a follower of Christ, challenging us to examine what truly governs our lives. Taylor Standridge joins us today to talk about it.Taylor Standridge is the Production Director of FaithFi: Faith & Finance and the co-author of Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and Anxiety.Overcoming Financial Anxiety with FaithMany struggle with financial worries—bills, job security, or retirement savings—leading to sleepless nights and constant stress and anxiety. Look at the Sparrows addresses these concerns by guiding readers through biblical teachings that reveal a path to peace. It emphasizes that true security doesn't come from money but from trusting in God's provision and grace. This 21-day devotional reminds us of God's love and His role as our ultimate source of security.Serving God vs. Serving MoneyOne key theme in Look at the Sparrows is the contrast between serving God and serving money, inspired by Jesus's teachings in Matthew 6. While not inherently bad, money often represents worldly values like wealth, power, and status that can draw us away from God. The devotional encourages readers to recognize that money is a tool—a good gift from God to be used for His purposes. However, if we believe money can provide the security and identity that only God offers, it can become a form of idolatry that distracts us from a life centered on faith.Larry Burkett put it well:“The love of money is a form of idol worship, just as surely as the worship of pagan images. It is not the money that is the problem; it's the attitude toward it.”The Bible has 2,350 verses about money and stewardship because money often competes with God for our trust and loyalty. Ecclesiastes 5:10 is a stark reminder for all who are chasing after wealth's promise of satisfaction: “He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.” - Ecclesiastes 5:10Pursuing wealth always leaves people empty, while a life focused on God's provision leads to true fulfillment.Danger Signs You May Be Serving MoneyThe devotional offers practical guidance to help believers identify when money might be taking priority over God:Prioritizing Work Over God: If making money takes precedence over nurturing your relationship with God or serving others, it may be a sign that money has become an idol. Pastor Josh Teis puts it well: “If rest feels like a sin, work is an idol.”Never Feeling Satisfied: Constantly wanting more and never feeling content with what you have can indicate that money holds too much power in your life.Reluctance to Give Generously: If giving feels like a burden or you struggle to be generous, it may reflect an unhealthy attachment to money and a lack of trust in God's provision.Shifting from a Scarcity Mindset to AbundanceThe “scarcity mindset” often underlies financial anxiety. Scarcity can lead us to focus on our own needs, creating envy and conflict. Yet, Scripture calls us to a different approach—one of generosity and trust in God's abundance. As Paul teaches in Philippians 2:3, we are to “count others more significant than ourselves,” living with a spirit of selflessness.Jesus exemplifies this mindset in stories like The Feeding of the 5,000 (Matthew 14:13-21), where He provided for the crowd's immediate needs and did so with abundance, leaving twelve baskets of leftovers. This act of generosity illustrates God's ability to exceed expectations, reminding us that His provision is more than enough.In times of financial stress, Look at the Sparrows invites readers to trust God's endless generosity and shift their perspective from scarcity to abundance. As we align our hearts with this truth, we open ourselves to a life where we see God as the ultimate provider and experience the joy and peace that come from His love.How to Get a Copy of Look at the SparrowsIf you want to transform your approach to money through faith and find peace in God's provision, you can request a copy of Look at the Sparrows by making a gift of $25 or more at FaithFi.com/sparrows.

Money is a part of life, there's no getting around it. However, many of us either unknowingly or willingly fall into the trap of serving money above our Master Jesus Christ.

This is a compilation of offerings recorded at my church. We're diving into the story of Gideon from Judges 6-9, a tale that mirrors our modern economic struggles. For 40 years, Israel thrived in peace, only to be plunged into a crisis as the Midianites and others ravaged their land and economy for seven years. The Israelites were left powerless, much like many feel today amidst financial uncertainty. This isn't just about ancient battles; it's about responding to adversity with faith. Gideon's victory started with an offering, a sign of his trust in God. In our times, faced with economic hardship, we're reminded that it's our faith and response to God's call that matter. Today, we'll explore how Gideon's faith and obedience can inspire us to face our challenges, expose and overcome fraud, and navigate economic pressures through spiritual resilience. Let's delve into how Gideon's journey can guide us in responding with faith in our own lives.

Jesus imparts profound lessons on wealth, stewardship, and the afterlife, urging believers to use earthly resources wisely for eternal purposes. He warns against the seductive power of money, reminding us that we cannot serve both God and wealth. Through the story of the rich man and Lazarus, Jesus contrasts earthly luxury with heavenly reward, highlighting the eternal impact of our choices and the urgency of repentance.  The Rev. Steven Theiss, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Wells, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Luke 16.   The Gospel of Luke, filled with rich narratives and detailed accounts, offers an inspired and historical perspective on the life and teachings of Jesus. Emphasizing Jesus' concern for the poor, outcasts, and social justice, this Gospel narrates parables and miracles that underscore the theme of God's salvation for all people. Luke's account is unique in its inclusion of the birth of John the Baptist, the parable of the Good Samaritan, and the story of the Prodigal Son, culminating in a vivid portrayal of Jesus' death and resurrection, affirming the universal offer of redemption. This Gospel serves as an invitation to understand the depth of God's love and the breadth of His grace extended to humanity through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

As a pastor's kid, Sarah Groen was well acquainted with discussions of tithing in the church. But is it possible that God desires more from us than just to tithe 10% of our income and do what we will with the rest? Worldliness, greed, selfishness, and motivations outside of God's individual plan for us can actually keep us bound in our financial life. For some reason, money is an area of life that can be so difficult to surrender in our hearts. Everything under our stewardship belongs to God. We are the managers, rather than the owners, of all God-given gifts. Our financial life is important to God. He wants so much for us in our financial lives, so much more than our striving can accomplish! Jesus desires freedom for us, in all senses of the word.  Learn more about Sarah Groen's ministry, My Two Cents, here.

Today, we're tackling a big question that might resonate with many of you: Is it okay to want both God and money? I've been putting off this conversation, maybe because of its potential impact. It's a topic loaded with controversy and confusion, especially among Christians. But it's time to dive deep and set some things straight. We're going to explore the often misunderstood relationship between spiritual growth and financial ambition. In this episode, we'll discuss: The false dilemma between pursuing wealth and maintaining spiritual integrity. How scriptural insights can align our financial goals with our faith. The healthy balance between making money and serving God, ensuring one does not exclude the other. I'll also share personal anecdotes about aiming for significant financial goals while keeping my spiritual objectives in focus. We'll unravel some common misconceptions and affirm that it's not just acceptable to seek both prosperity and a deeper relationship with God—it's often encouraged. So, are you ready to find out how you can chase after financial success without compromising your faith? Tune in, as we break down barriers and build a bridge between your spiritual and financial journeys. Remember, seeking His kingdom first doesn't mean neglecting the blessings He has in store for us—including financial prosperity.
