Here is this Sunday's Sermon from Pastor Brian titled, "Live Generously" from Colossians 3:23–24, Ecclesiastes 5:10, Matthew 6:24, John 15:13, and Mark 12:41–44. This sermon focuses on the topic of money and how God views it.

Jesus redefined generosity—not as spontaneous or sparing, but as intentional and prioritized. His approach ensures we don't put our trust in riches but in God who richly provides. Connect with us further at storyperu.com

Join us as we kick off 2026 with a powerful message that challenges us to step into the new year with clarity, purpose, and a heart aligned with God's will. This sermon explores the contrasting experiences of those entering the year energized versus those feeling exhausted, highlighting the importance of rest, community, and pursuing God's priorities instead of mere performance goals. Drawing on the story of Elijah, we will learn that even in seasons of burnout, we can seek renewal through God's direction. Discover how to refocus your ambitions by asking, "Lord, what do you want me to do first?" This service invites everyone to find strength in community, embrace generosity, and center their lives on Jesus as we embark on this new journey together.

You were created to make a difference. Generosity isn't just about what you give—it's about who you become. True generosity starts with a mindset that's spontaneous when compassion moves, strategic when convictions guide, and sacrificial when love costs something. Generosity changes hearts, lives, and the world.Our regular service is at 10am on Sundays. We are located at 304 E. Austin Ave in Hutto, TX. Can't make it in person? You are welcome to join us live on Facebook or YouTube. If you need prayer or you just need someone to talk to please reach out to us at prayer@huttocommunitychurch.org.HCC Website - HCC Facebook - HCC YouTube

Generosity is informed and fueled by the acknowledgment that God owns it all. We are simply managers. When we adopt that posture, we view everything we “own” as a potential tool to further the agenda of our King. Connect with us further at storyperu.com

Heart of the House | Live Generously | Tim Bittle by TFH SF

Acts 4:32-37 In this powerful message, we explore the transformative power of generosity as exemplified in Acts 4:32-33. The early church's radical approach to sharing and community challenges our modern notions of ownership and individualism.

Luke 12:13-21

Luke 19:1-10 In this message, we're reminded of the transformative power of grace through the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19. This short man's encounter with Jesus teaches us that no matter how rich or successful we are, there's always something missing that only Christ can fill.

Matthew 22:34-46

In this exploration of stewardship, we're challenged to reframe our perspective on possessions and purpose. The parable of the dishonest manager in Luke 16:1-13 serves as a springboard for a deeper understanding of how we handle God's resources.

The parable of the rich fool in Luke 12:13-21 serves as a stark reminder that our worth isn't measured by our possessions, but by our relationship with God.

Sharing some great thoughts with you today from the legend, Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) where he reminds us in his “Mindset Monday” post, that “It's better to give than receive.  Yet some people are reluctant to give because they don't feel like they have enough. That's a scarcity mindset. When you give, you find abundance. The more you give, the more you receive to give away. Be a giver! Live generous today!”  The more we keep working on ourselves to be our best, we will have plenty to give away. Remember, it's not just money. It's our time, our listening, our laughter, our smiles, our help, etc. Things like this get me so fired up because I've seen it happen for me - especially lately. I'm glad I'm finally learning how important this is. I've had glimpses of it before throughout my younger years, but not the clear understanding on how awesome this is. Keep at it my friends. The world needs you at your best!!   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Pastor Klinkenberg delivers the message in the Sanctuary.

Pastor Van Blarcom delivers the message in the Auditorium.

“The simple believe everything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.” — Proverbs 14:15In an age where scams are becoming more sophisticated by the day, Scripture reminds us that discernment isn't optional—it's essential. As believers, protecting the resources God has entrusted to us is more than a practical concern—it's an act of stewardship. Here's how you can guard your finances with wisdom, not fear.Scams Are Everywhere—But So Is WisdomFraudsters use every channel available: phone calls, text messages, emails, and even impersonations of people you trust. But as followers of Christ, we're not called to panic. We're called to walk in wisdom (Ephesians 5:15). That begins with slowing down and thinking critically.Pause before you respond. Scammers rely on urgency. If someone pressures you to act immediately—whether claiming your account is locked or your money is at risk—take a step back. Hang up. Verify the source independently. Urgency is often a red flag. Avoid untraceable payments. No legitimate organization will ask for payment via wire transfer or gift cards. These are the preferred tools of scammers because they're nearly impossible to recover.Practical Steps for Digital ProtectionFinancial stewardship now includes digital awareness. Here are practical ways to protect yourself and your family:Use credit cards, not debit cards, for online purchases. Credit cards usually come with stronger fraud protection. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all your financial accounts. Even if a scammer gets your password, they can't access your account without a second form of verification. Don't reuse passwords. Use a secure password manager, such as Bitwarden or NordPass, to create and store strong, unique passwords. Set up account alerts. Most banks allow you to monitor activity in real-time, giving you a heads-up if something unusual occurs. Freeze your credit. It's free to do and offers one of the best defenses against identity theft. You can always unfreeze it temporarily when needed. Avoid public Wi-Fi for financial transactions. Wait until you're on a secure network or at home to check your bank accounts or make purchases. Limit what you share on social media. Personal details, such as birthdays or family names, can be used to guess passwords or security questions. Adjust your privacy settings and post wisely. Shred sensitive documents before discarding them. Even in the digital age, identity thieves still dig through trash. Don't click on unfamiliar links, even if they appear to come from someone you know. When in doubt, contact the person or organization directly for clarification.Stewarding Wisdom in CommunityScammers often target the vulnerable, particularly older adults and teenagers. So make this a shared effort. Discuss online fraud with your family. Equip them with knowledge. If you receive a letter or email about identity protection following a data breach, verify it by contacting the company directly, rather than through the provided link or number.Financial faithfulness today includes digital vigilance. But there's no need for fear. By taking these simple steps, you can walk confidently, knowing you're stewarding God's resources with care.A Tool for Wise Stewardship: The FaithFi AppLooking for a practical way to manage your money with wisdom and peace of mind?

God is a generous Father. If you are a father, know that as you provide for your family, Father God is providing for you.

Let's unpack six of the top retirement misconceptions, from whether it's okay to splurge in retirement, to the necessity of paying off your mortgage before you retire, and the real risks that retirees face beyond just a stock market crash.  With a focus on helping family stewards make smart decisions for a secure financial future, I share practical advice, real-life scenarios, and encouragement to help you confidently prepare for and enjoy your retirement years. If you want to separate fact from fiction and build a retirement plan that truly fits your life and goals, then this episode is for you.  Outline of This Episode [04:45] Debunking common myths. [09:43] Donate now for tax benefits and immediate impact. [10:54] Spending in retirement is encouraged to enjoy life and create memories, rather than hoarding savings. [17:34] Diversified portfolios mitigate financial risk during market downturns. [20:12] Stay vigilant against fraud by protecting your personal information. How Rethinking Retirement Myths Can Help You Build Wealth, Live Generously, and Enjoy a Fulfilling Retirement Retirement is often framed as the finish line in your financial journey, but the path leading up to and through that milestone is cluttered with well-intentioned advice, social media sound bites, and downright misleading myths. As Scott Wellens, certified financial planner and host of the Best in Wealth podcast, points out in episode 260, it's time for successful family stewards to challenge conventional wisdom and make decisions grounded in reality, not rumors. Let's unpack and expand on six of the most common retirement myths, using Scott's insights to guide your way toward a smarter, more satisfying retirement. Myth #1: “It's Not Okay To Do a Big Splurge” Many savers believe that a single splurge in retirement, a long-awaited RV, a dream vacation, or a lavish family gathering, could derail their entire retirement plan. If you've saved diligently and want to use a portion for a one-time purchase, the impact on your annual withdrawal can be minimal. For those following the “4% rule," buying a $50,000 RV from a $3 million portfolio reduces sustainable annual withdrawals by only about $2,000, a small sacrifice for a lifelong dream. Retirement is about enjoying the fruits of your labor. With proper planning and a clear understanding of your cash flows, strategic splurges are not only possible but can enrich your retirement experience. Myth #2: “It's Best to Leave Money to Charity After Death” It's noble to want to support causes after you're gone, but waiting to give can rob you of witnessing the impact your generosity brings. Giving while alive has both tangible and intangible benefits: not only do you receive immediate tax deductions and may reduce potential estate taxes, but you also get a front-row seat to the good your money is doing. A thoughtful plan lets you balance living well and giving generously today, maximizing both legacy and personal fulfillment. Myth #3: “You Should Spend Less in...

✅ Why most dads get generosity completely wrong (and how to flip the script) ✅ Fun tactics to teach young kids the joy of giving (the $20 tip story will blow your mind!) ✅ The simple 4-pillar framework that works at any income level ✅ How money lies to our families about security, control, and happiness SUMMARY Money whispers lies to our kids every single day—promising security, control, and happiness it can never deliver. In this powerful episode, Todd Harper shares how his son went from declaring "I'm going to be filthy rich and never give a dollar away" at 15 to sacrificially giving a third of his salary before his death at 26. You'll discover why most dads approach generosity as an "ought to" instead of a "get to," practical ways to make giving fun for young kids, and Todd's simple four-pillar framework that works regardless of your income level. Takeaways The switch from "ought to" to "get to" changes everything about generosity—and kids can smell obligation from a mile away Once someone tastes the joy of giving, they never go back; Todd has never met a "former generous person" Simple tactics like leaving a $20 tip on a $3 check and watching through the window create unforgettable generosity moments for kids The four pillars of stewardship: Work diligently, give generously, save responsibly, live contentedly Money lies to us about security, control, happiness, and affirmation—contentment isn't tied to financial realities Taking kids to serve special needs children or experiencing international poverty shatters entitlement and builds gratitude The 1% challenge: increase your giving by 1% each year and watch God's faithfulness compound over decades Guest: Todd Harper is a passionate advocate for biblical generosity and the heart behind Generous Giving, where he's spent 25 years helping families discover the joy of open-handed living. Married to his college sweetheart for 37 years, Todd is a father of eight kids (five biological, three through marriage) and is about to become a grandfather. After losing his eldest son Davis seven and a half years ago, Todd has gained a deeper perspective on eternal values and the importance of living with heaven in view. Through Generous Giving, he's worked with families across the wealth spectrum, helping them experience the life-changing shift from obligation-based giving to joy-filled generosity.

They read through all of it. If we're generous out of obligation, it's not going to translate differently for them." "I've never met a former generous person." "The world of the generous gets larger and larger. The world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller." "Everybody wants to experience a miracle, but nobody wants to be in a position to need one." "Money, money, money—all I really want is my dad to know my friends' names."   Davis Harper's gift to his dad on his 50th birthday: 1) I love how you love mom. Your marriage is such a great example to me.  2) I love how you brag on your kids. You're always telling someone about the cool things your kids are doing.  3) I love that you love watching basketball with me and asking questions. You want to know my world.  4) I love that you took us on trips growing up, im learning the value of all those experiences as I grow up.  5) I love how international you are about family time. You are the most happy whenever you are with your family.  6) I love that you are active. It's bad to the bone that you still cycle and golf and water ski, you're a total cool dad!  7) I love your saying "pay for experiences, not stuff"  8) I love hearing how good a friend you are to people. People are always telling me how incredible of a friend you are to them.  9) I love that you're a reader. You're always telling me about something you're reading or something I should check out.  10) I love that you unconditionally love me. Your example of how to love your wife and kids is incredible. 

From receiving life-altering generosity in his youth to helping global audiences navigate complicated people and personal growth—Ryan Leak's journey is one of resilience, faith, and intentional leadership. In this episode, Ryan shares the early experiences that shaped his calling, how generosity became a family legacy, and why working well with others starts with owning your own complexities. A sought-after speaker, content creator, and the author of Leveling Up and Chasing Failure, Ryan's newest book How to Work With Complicated People offers a deeply practical roadmap for thriving in diverse workplaces. Drawing from personal stories, biblical principles, and years of executive coaching, Ryan helps us rethink how we view conflict, collaboration, and character. Whether you're leading a team, navigating difficult relationships, or trying to grow in self-awareness, Ryan's wisdom will shift your mindset and challenge your assumptions about leadership, giving, and grace. “If everybody else doesn't change, it doesn't mean I can't.” – Ryan Leak “Nobody believes they're the toxic one. But the truth is, we're all complicated.” – Ryan Leak “If you make your life about giving more than getting, you'll always have the life you actually want.” – Ryan Leak This Week on The Wow Factor: How a stranger's generosity kept Ryan in private school—and changed his trajectory The values of giving without keeping score Why “working with complicated people” starts with personal reflection How to lead with grace and expect humanity, not perfection The inspiration behind Ryan's book and how it's designed to help workplaces thrive What Cornelius in the Bible taught Ryan about inclusive leadership The discipline of creating content that adds value—whether in 60 minutes or 60 seconds Why Ryan's favorite act of generosity is paying off someone's debt with one phrase: “Not anymore” Ryan Leak's Word of Wisdom: If you make your life about giving more than getting, you'll always have the life you actually want. Whether it's your time, resources, encouragement, or presence—when you walk into every room looking to give rather than receive, you shift not only the environment but your own fulfillment. Giving isn't about keeping score. It's about creating impact that outlives you.

Step into a message of hope and renewal with our Easter 2025 sermon at Mosaic Church. Pastor B opens by honoring the sacrificial hearts of our worship team and the congregation's commitment, setting a tone of gratitude and unity. From there, he anchors us in Romans 8:31-39, declaring that nothing in heaven or on earth can separate us from Christ's unwavering love. You'll hear how early believers faced Nero's persecution with courage, and you'll find fresh strength for your own trials today.Pastor B then shares his journey alongside Paul's transformation—from opposing the church to becoming its greatest advocate—reminding us that redemption isn't just ancient history but a living reality. As we reflect on suffering, victory, and the promise that we are “more than conquerors,” you'll be invited into a prayer of renewal: receive Christ's love afresh, bring your burdens before Him, and step forward in faith. This episode will lift your spirit, deepen your trust in God's faithfulness, and inspire you to live in the freedom Easter brings.— If this message stirs your heart, share it with someone who needs to know they are never alone in Christ's love.Support the showPastor Broderick Santiago | MOSAIC CHURCHDaily Live Prayer: @MosaicMableton Facebook PageGet Connected or Learn More: bit.ly/mosaicconnection Live Generously: https://wearemosaicchurch.org/give/ www.wearemosaicchurch.orgSundays 10amWednesdays 7pmDaily Online Prayer 7am (M-F)Social Media/ YouTube: @mosaicmabletonbit.ly/mosaicprayer

Welcome to “Empowered for a Purpose” with Pastor B—an episode designed to ignite your faith and deepen your connection with Christ through the living message of Acts. Join us as we uncover how genuine community, the simplicity of baptism, and the power of the Spirit combine to transform ordinary lives into testimonies of grace.Pastor B begins by reminding us that baptism is accessible to everyone—no special attire or elaborate ceremony required. It's a step of faith wrapped in simplicity, yet marked by eternal significance. From there, we celebrate victories both large and small: Andrew Omosu's soccer milestones become a springboard for understanding how our personal journeys weave into the life of the church family.Next, Pastor B illuminates the biblical meaning of the number 40—a time of cleansing, preparation, and rebirth. Drawing on stories from Moses's desert sojourn to Jesus's time in the wilderness, we see how seasons of challenge prepare us to embrace God's best for our lives.Turning to the Book of Acts, we honor Theophilus and all early believers who carried forward Jesus's final commission: to proclaim the gospel boldly. Pastor B challenges us to live this calling in our day—to speak of Christ with confidence and to extend his love without hesitation.In a moving firsthand account, Pastor B shares how an ordinary flight became the setting for an extraordinary witness. An impromptu conversation with a pilot led to a heartfelt invitation to faith—and a new brother in Christ. This story underscores that every moment holds the potential for God to work through us.We close with a stirring appeal: whether you've never made a public commitment or you're seeking renewal, now is the time to step forward. Embrace the Spirit's power, commit your life fully to Jesus, and watch how he transforms your story.“Empowered for a Purpose” isn't just a message—it's an active call to live out your faith with courage and joy. Be encouraged. Be strengthened. Be empowered—and if this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend who needs to hear this life-changing word.Support the showPastor Broderick Santiago | MOSAIC CHURCHDaily Live Prayer: @MosaicMableton Facebook PageGet Connected or Learn More: bit.ly/mosaicconnection Live Generously: https://wearemosaicchurch.org/give/ www.wearemosaicchurch.orgSundays 10amWednesdays 7pmDaily Online Prayer 7am (M-F)Social Media/ YouTube: @mosaicmabletonbit.ly/mosaicprayer

Welcome to “Empowered to Discover Community”, where Mosaic Church invites you to discover the life-changing purpose God has placed within you. In this sermon, Pastor B challenges you to identify your “why” and align your passions with the mission Christ has given us—to impact both our neighborhood and the nations. You'll hear how our church's core values aren't just words on a page, but guiding principles that drive every act of service and every heart that gathers here.Throughout the episode, Pastor B brings you up to speed on what's happening in our community—from the Men's Gathering on May 22nd to the joy of marching in the Mableton Day parade—showing how faith comes alive when we serve together with generosity. Then, we turn to Acts chapter 2, where the Holy Spirit falls on ordinary people and empowers them to speak boldly in many tongues. As you listen, you'll feel the same Spirit urging you to step out in faith, to join in real fellowship, and to offer your gifts—time, talent, and treasure—for the sake of the gospel.Drawing on Peter's sermon and the early church's example of koinonia, Pastor B calls you to a renewed commitment: to live in devoted community, to give wholeheartedly, and to lean into the Spirit's power for greater works. If you long for fresh vision and renewed passion, this episode will uplift your spirit and equip you to take bold steps in your faith.

In our last lesson we talked about overflowing in contentment. Discontentment leads to all kinds of problems in this life. Not only does it lead to problems in the present, it can also draw you away from the pain and pierce you with many sorrows (6:10). The apostle Paul teaches us another picture of how […] The post REWIND: Live Generously (1 Timothy 6:11-21) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

The A-Life means giving our treasures to God. You can't live life abundantly if you're not learning to live generously. Jesus talked about money more than any other subject. He said that where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. He knew about the idolatry of money that has gripped people across human history. The problem is not with having money, it's with your money having control over you! Worldly treasure is temporal, but heavenly treasure is eternal. The eternal souls of men and women are heaven's treasure. People are what heaven treasures. The way you break free from idolatry and captivity to money is by giving generously to kingdom priorities. How do you lay up treasure in heaven? By investing your energy, opportunities, abilities, and money for the things that last eternally. When you begin to treasure what God treasures, you are laying up treasure in heaven. You can't take your money with you, but you can send it on ahead. When you live generously and give your money for kingdom priorities, you turn your dollars into destinies. Your treasure doesn't follow your heart. Your heart follows your treasure. You naturally begin to love what you give to. You begin to value that which you serve. 4 principles for giving and living generously: 1.) God should get our first and best. 2.) God gets our first because He is the owner of all that we have. 3.) Giving our first and best demands faith. It should feel risky. 4.) When we bring God our first and best, He will take care of the rest. Jesus will one day reward us not for what we had, but for what we gave. When we choose to give our treasures to God and live generously, our hearts will eventually follow. ● Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook: / abundantlifels Instagram: / abundantlifels ● Connect with Pastor Phil ↴ Facebook: / philhopperkc Instagram: / philhopper_kc Web: https://livingproof.co/resources/books/ ● Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

We're told the most secure thing we can have is silver or gold, but our true stability comes from strengthening our faith in Jesus. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of generosity. He also talks about the reality of God's faithful provision as we increasingly learn to trust Him with our resources. God calls us to plant seeds—being generous with our time, resources, and attention—as an expression of hope and confidence in His ability to provide. We will see a harvest as we do so. It's not about the amount we give, but cultivating a heart that's willing to give sacrificially.   To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, visit this link: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate
