In this message, PSam teaches on the dangers of greed and the difference between contentment and complacency, drawing from 1 Timothy 6:3–12. Many people believe they are dreaming big when they seek to amass wealth and fame in this world, but such ambitions are actually small because they are focused on temporary, earthly things rather than God’s eternal purpose.The human soul longs for rest, joy, peace, and wholeness, yet these desires cannot be fulfilled by material wealth. Only Christ truly satisfies them. God assigns estates in life, and believers are called to receive the estates God assigns without resentment. Everything good we possess is given by God’s mercy, not because it is owed.Godliness is not a means of financial gain. The desire for riches leads to temptation, anxiety, and sin because money promises what it cannot deliver. While money can meet certain needs, it cannot guarantee love, security, or peace, often drawing people into an endless pursuit of more.Contentment is not a call to poverty or idleness. Scripture affirms diligence, provision, and responsibility, especially toward family. Any teaching that encourages neglect of these duties in the name of faith is false and does not align with God’s will.True contentment is a posture of the heart that recognizes God has already provided enough for obedience in the present season. Submission to God’s will is not merely spoken but lived, as believers remain faithful where God has placed them.

On Tithing, Generosity and Evil of being a User* | LFC Part 30 | 1 Cor 16:1-4 | Sam OyeyinkaIn this sermon, pastor Sam explained that true Christian giving is directed to the saints because it is giving to God Himself. Any giving driven by selfish ambition or desire for personal gain is ungodly and non-apostolic. He outlines two primary directions of New Testament giving:1. Giving to God’s servants (ministers of the gospel). Honouring them honours God and brings His blessings. 2. Giving to believers and the poor. Giving to them is giving to Jesus, it is a sweet smelling sacrifice to God.Paul repeatedly frames giving as a debt we owe because of the gospel. The deeper we grasp God’s grace, the more generous we become. Struggling with giving reveals we do not fully understand what Christ has done for us. Paul commanded regular, proportionate giving. From the early church onward, this has been understood as the tithe (10%). In Christ, we do not tithe to become righteous, rather, we tithe because we are righteous. God’s love is the cause; generous giving is the fruit.Hearts transformed by the gospel give gratefully, generously, regularly, purely and transparently.

Common grace refers to the unmerited favor of God that extends to all of humanity, regardless of their spiritual state. This grace is evident in the beauty of creation, the moral order, and the general blessings of life that everyone experiences. It is a reflection of God's goodness and mercy, allowing people to enjoy life, relationships, and the world around them, even if they do not acknowledge Him. The Apostle Paul highlights the supremacy of Christ in Colossians 1:15-20, emphasizing that all things were created through Him and for Him. This underscores the truth that everything in existence is ultimately under the authority of Christ, and it is through Him that we understand the fullness of God's grace.In Colossians 1:20, Paul speaks of Christ reconciling all things to Himself, making peace through the blood of His cross. This reconciliation is not limited to believers but extends to the entirety of creation. The scope of Christ's redemptive work encompasses all things, indicating that God's plan is to restore and redeem the world from the effects of sin. This is a profound truth that reveals God's desire for wholeness and peace, not just for individuals but for the entire cosmos. The distinction between common grace and saving grace is crucial; while common grace allows all people to experience God's goodness, saving grace is the specific work of God that brings individuals into a personal relationship with Him through faith in Christ.Understanding common grace leads to a deeper appreciation of our purpose as believers. We are created for good works, as stated in Ephesians 2:10, where we are described as God's workmanship, designed to fulfill His will on earth. This purpose transcends material wealth or personal ambition; it aligns with God's overarching plan to reconcile and restore creation. Our lives should reflect the goodness of God, demonstrating His love and grace to those around us. As we engage in good works, we participate in God's mission, bringing light to a world often shrouded in darkness.The practical application of this understanding is to recognize that our value is not determined by what we possess but by our purpose in Christ. We are called to live out our faith actively, engaging in acts of kindness, justice, and mercy that reflect God's character. This means being agents of change in our communities, advocating for the marginalized, and sharing the hope of the Gospel. In doing so, we fulfill our role in God's plan, demonstrating that true health and wealth are found not in material gain but in a life lived in accordance with God's will, bringing glory to Him in all things.
