Hear more about the realities of moviemaking, the ministry behind the project, and what will make this movie different from anything else.

In this message from Romans 15, Pastor J.D. challenges us to lift our eyes to the ends of the earth. When Jesus left his disciples, he promised that his gospel would go to every nation, tribe, language, and tongue. That task isn’t finished. And God is calling many of us to follow him to the most unreached parts of the planet. Is it difficult? Yes. Is it dangerous? Yes. Is he worthy of it? Absolutely.

Can one person make a difference? Absolutely! But nothing can beat a group of people with a common bond and a common goal. Dr. Tony Evans explores ways to become that kind of committed community as we look at the power of a united church.

Every day, we’re faced with financial decisions—some small, some life-shaping. We decide how to spend, save, give, borrow, invest, and provide for our families. But behind each of those choices lies a deeper question: where do we go to find wisdom?

Many assume the Bible is a spiritual book meant only for spiritual matters, not for the realities of modern financial life. After all, Scripture was written thousands of years ago. There were no index funds, tax-advantaged accounts, or credit cards in ancient Israel. So how could it possibly speak to retirement planning, debt, generosity, or contentment today?

Yet what Scripture offers isn’t a financial playbook—it’s something better: timeless wisdom rooted in the character of God.

Biblical wisdom isn’t about giving us modern strategies or formulas. It’s about helping us understand who God is, who we are, and what we were made for. Until we know the Author, we won’t trust His instruction. And without trusting His instruction, we won’t build our lives—financially or otherwise—on His Word.

The primary purpose of Scripture isn’t merely to tell us what to do. It’s to reveal who we belong to. It introduces us to the God who provides, who owns all things, who defines true success, and who calls us to steward not just money, but all of life.

Once that foundation is laid, Scripture certainly does speak to how we live. The apostle Paul writes:

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable… that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16–17).

Financial decisions are included in those “good works.” The Bible isn’t irrelevant to a modern economy—it’s indispensable.

The questions people wrestle with today aren’t new. Scripture addresses the very issues many of us face:

• Diversification: “Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land” (Ecclesiastes 11:2).
• Debt and co-signing: “Be not one of those who give pledges” (Proverbs 22:26).
• Living below your means: “Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man’s dwelling, but a foolish man devours it” (Proverbs 21:20).
• Planning ahead: “The prudent sees danger and hides himself” (Proverbs 27:12).
• Generosity: “You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way” (2 Corinthians 9:11).
• Seeking wisdom: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God” (James 1:5).

These aren’t technical instructions about financial products. They are heart-level principles that guide every generation, in every economy.

Biblical wisdom is not merely practical—it’s relational. Scripture doesn’t just tell us what to do; it shows us why God is trustworthy.

It reveals a Father who “owns the cattle on a thousand hills” (Psalm 50:10), who feeds the birds of the air (Matthew 6:26), who gives good gifts to His children (James 1:17), and who never abandons those who walk by faith (Hebrews 13:5).

Much of our financial anxiety isn’t ultimately about money—it’s about trust. And trust doesn’t come from spreadsheets or strategies. It comes from knowing the God who inspired Scripture.

When we know Him, financial obedience becomes freedom rather than drudgery. Living below our means becomes contentment. Avoiding debt becomes a matter of wisdom rather than fear. Giving becomes a joyful response to grace. Planning becomes stewardship instead of self-reliance.

Scripture is ancient, but it is not outdated. Technology changes. Markets change. Financial products change. But the human heart does not.

Because the heart hasn’t changed, G
