What kind of builder are you in God's eternal church? Dr. John Neufeld explores the sobering reality that while the church will stand forever, our individual work will face divine inspection. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 3:12–17, he contrasts lasting materials—gold, silver, and precious stones—with wood, hay, and straw that will burn in the fire. Some will receive eternal rewards, while others will be saved but see their life's work go up in smoke.

The Power of Christ in a Pagan World: Join Dr. John Neufeld for this 20-message series as he focuses on the book of 1 Corinthians. Covering chapters 1-4, The Power of Christ in a Pagan World looks at the many issues that confronted the church in Corinth; Problems that seemed to find their place within the church at every turn! This series helps us unpack the different conflicts and struggles of this early church in a relevant and practical way. Even though the church in Corinth existed a long time ago, they went through trials that might sound familiar to us in the 21st Century!

When it comes to money, most people are searching for two things: security and peace of mind. That’s understandable—life is unpredictable, expenses arise, and markets swing. But what if true peace isn’t found in your circumstances at all?

Financial wisdom doesn’t start with a budget or a savings plan. It begins with trust—specifically, trusting in the Lord. Proverbs 3:5–6 reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”

If you chase peace through your paycheck or portfolio, you’ll always come up short. But when Christ is your foundation, you begin to see money in a new light—not as a source of peace, but as a tool to steward.

1. Know Who Owns It All. Psalm 24:1 says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.” Everything belongs to God—your income, your retirement, even your ability to earn. That means we’re not owners; we’re stewards, entrusted with God’s resources to manage faithfully.

2. Spend With Purpose. Jesus asks in Luke 16:11, “If you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?” Spending should reflect God’s priorities—giving, saving, living within your means, and investing in eternal impact.

3. Avoid the Slavery of Debt. Proverbs 22:7 warns, “The borrower is slave to the lender.” Debt can limit your freedom to give and respond to God’s calling. Wise stewards build margin and pursue freedom—not because debt is always wrong, but because freedom is better.

4. Save With Perspective. Proverbs 21:20 says, “The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.” Saving isn’t about hoarding; it’s preparation for what God might have ahead. But remember: your security isn’t in your savings—it’s in the Savior.

5. Give First, and Freely. 2 Corinthians 9:7 tells us, “God loves a cheerful giver.” Generosity reflects God’s heart. It breaks the grip of greed and aligns us with His Kingdom. When we give, we declare, “God, I trust You more than I trust this money.”

Following these biblical principles won’t guarantee worldly success. Even the most faithful stewards face trials. But when your foundation is Christ, you’re anchored. Isaiah 33:6 says, “He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge.”

So if you’re looking for security or peace, don’t start with a spreadsheet—start with surrender. Financial wisdom begins when you recognize that your Provider is also your Redeemer. And in Him, you have more than enough.

Pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer once wrote, “The Christian needs another Christian… for by himself he cannot help himself.” In this special program, Chip explains why godly, authentic community is the antidote for many Christians who feel lonely and disconnected from the Body of Christ.
