We base most of what we do on a book written 2000-3000 years ago. Much of our opportunity today in this church came from the faith and work of those before us. So we have to achieve this precious balance between looking back and looking forward, between respecting the past, but not so dedicated to it that we sacrifice our future. Here’s my compass: if it comes from God’s word it doesn’t change. But if God hasn’t directed it then almost anything can be up for change.

Today is the last in our series on the Lamb of Wall Street. Today I want to show you the Lamb calling us to a lifestyle. The lifestyle of the wolf is always more, always bigger, always better. Get it and look like you’ve got it. Happiness and strength are in more. But that pursuit of more comes with great stress. The Lamb has, all that we need, with peace.

No one knows us better than God, and He knows how important it is for us to have something to look forward to, so He has given us the greatest thing of all to look forward to. It is so incredible that it has the power to help us endure suffering, the power to choose right, the power to give us joy in all circumstances. And shocking so many believers do not enjoy this hope. We don’t look forward to it. The *it* I am talking about is heaven.

Today’s message is not about budgets or giving or what we have or do not have. It is not about what we do or do not do with the money we have. For those things are all products of a choice. Today’s message is about that choice. Money is a way we will serve God, or it will be our god. What would we point to in our lives as evidence of the choice we have mad? Wall Street will tell us to choose money. It is God. It makes the world go round. I think Jesus might say, Money will leave you broke one day.

We are family, and together we do this thing called The Heights. To pray, to give, to serve effectively implies a level of understanding and knowledge. While we are this big place that meets in four services on two campuses, we are still a family, and family has to talk every now and then about where we are and what’s happening.
