English psychiatrist and philosopher Eric Fromm said, “Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.” Most people feel a constant desire for more; most people never feel like they have enough. Despite this, almost nobody recognizes themselves themselves as greedy. These sermons on greed aim to help people understand what greed is, why it is spiritually significant, and how they can overcome it.

One certainty of life is that it is filled with uncertainty. Our planning and decisions would be much easier if we were provided a map pointing to the difficulties and obstacles that lie ahead. Instead, we are often surprised by difficult circumstances. So, what are we to do? The only thing we can do – trust God as our guide.

Spirituality is in. Across the American culture there are very few things as in vogue. People are flocking towards it in the 2000’s like they did Elvis in the 1950’s or hammer pants in the 1980’s. Everywhere you look you can see some form of spiritual expression. It shows up on TV, on the best sellers list, in movies, and through the ever increasing popularity of spiritual groups. Spirituality has busted out like the next Hunger Games movie or the new American Idol winner. It seems that people in search of spirituality are moving away from Christianity. The problem is not with the lack of spirituality involved in Christianity itself but rather that this spirituality has been sucked out of the church in America. Therefore, it has become uninteresting and uninviting to the people who are looking for a spiritual “fix.” This series of sermons examines the true spirituality of Christianity with the goal of showing people that Christianity offers more.

Everyone has an identity. The source of that identity is of paramount importance. Tragically, most have let what they look like, what they have, what they do, and what others say define them; they’ve allowed their identities to be stolen. Experience shows that a stolen identity is a fragile identity – blemishes, pay cuts, demotions, and mean words causing an identity crisis. In this series we are going to show you how you can reclaim your identity by finding it in Christ.
