Today we face many challenges to who we are as people. Pressures to conform to secular culture are all around us. But where do we find our identity? Our identity is found in Christ and in the truth of His word. We live set apart from this world. We don't abide by the ways this world; rather, we belong to Christ.

As we close our series called “Jesus, Money and Stuff”, we focus our attention to the heart of Christian giving. The Bible teaches us to give faithfully through tithes, generously through offerings, and compassionately through alms. In Christ, giving is not a burden but a joyful response to God’s grace, a way to put Him first, support His mission, and show His love to those in need.

Prayer is not a side activity for the Christian—it is our battlefield, our lifeline, and one of our greatest weapons. In

We live in a culture that pushes us to earn more, spend more, and worry more about money—yet God offers a better way. The Bible is full of timeless wisdom for how we handle money which is important for every follower of Jesus. Today, we’re going to look at four simple, practical principles that can guide every financial decision you make: Give, Pay, Save, and Spend. Whether you’re just starting out, climbing out of debt, or trying to pass on wisdom to your family, these truths can help you honor God with your money and live with greater peace and freedom.

We live in a world that constantly tells us we need MORE to be happy, important, and secure. But Jesus offers us a radically different way to live. In Luke chapter 12, He warns us about the deceptive and destructive power of greed—a condition of the heart that enslaves us to our stuff and separates us from what truly matters. In our message today, we will confront the lies we often believe about money and possessions and embrace the practices that lead to freedom, generosity, and a life that is rich toward God.

We have all experienced times in our life when the fire of our faith begins to fade—whether through discouragement, distraction, or simply the ups and downs of life. In 2 Timothy 1:6–7, the Apostle Paul urges Timothy to reject spiritual passivity and fan into flame a fresh passion for the gifts and calling that God had given him. Through this passage, we are challenged to rekindle our spiritual passion, to reject fear, and to embrace the work and power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We are expecting God to stir up a fresh fire in our hearts again!

What holds us back? What can actually allow us to move forward and unlock our purpose and calling? When God changes our hearts, we begin to walk in true repentance. Repentance produces real fruit which leads us to be a blessing to others and takes us into our purpose.

Everything we have—our money, time, talents, and even our testimony—ultimately belongs to God. He is the owner; we are the managers. In the parable of the talents, Jesus teaches us a powerful truth: God entrusts each of us with resources, not to bury or waste, but to steward wisely and faithfully. Stewardship isn’t just about money—it’s about how we manage everything God has placed in our hands. And one day, we will each give an account for how we lived, invested, and served. The way we steward what God has given us doesn’t just impact today—it carries eternal significance. Stewardship is not just a financial principle; it’s a spiritual responsibility.

The Bible talks about money a lot. I bet that many of us don’t realize that more than 2300 verses in the Bible discuss money and at least 12 of Jesus’ parables deal with money directly or indirectly. Money is more than a form of currency we exchange for goods and services. It has the power to do great harm or bring about great good. This is why we can often feel uncomfortable talking about it because it gets to something much deeper inside all of us. As we launch our series called “Jesus, Money and Stuff” we want to ask the question, “How does God view money?”

As believers we understand that the moment we give our lives to Jesus, He is with us. But many of us don’t fully understand that Jesus is not just WITH us, He now dwells IN us. Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3 beautifully describes what we should pray for and believe to happen in our hearts so that through Jesus’ abiding presence in us, we can be filled to all the fullness of God – a total transformation of our inner self into the image of God and an outpouring of all God has for us. In this passage there are four prayers that Paul prayed for the church that are still relevant today.
