As believers, we sometimes can get bogged down in our journey toward maturity, daunted by the perception that we need to abide by a lot of rules. But Pastor Ford will remind us today that we should concentrate on remembering how it was when we first got saved.  Do you remember the freedom that you felt and the burden that was lifted off of you?  Do you remember when you realized your sins were cast into the depths of the sea?  Remember those things and you will remember the true liberty you have in Christ.

Because we know that God will provide for our every need, then we shouldn’t worry.  But still, we sometimes do worry.  Pastor Ford will explain that worrying when you’re supposed to have faith is like being two-faced according to scripture.  That’s because we’re supposed to trust God in every situation.  Our faith should be strong, even when it’s washed in the waters of adversity.

Sometimes God uses people as agents to bless us and to meet our needs.  But Pastor Ford will explain today that we sometimes reject the very provision of God, because we don’t like who He has chosen to use to bring our blessing to us. Find out more when you join us for today’s Treasured Truth.

Scripture says that our God will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.  And that’s a promise we can count on!  Pastor Ford will remind us that God is not going to let us out give Him.  When we use our resources for His purposes, then God increases His provisions and gives us more resources.

As we continue to look at the topic of finances and stewardship, Pastor Ford will talk about the second reason why God gave us money.  And we’ll learn that every blessing God has intended for us as believers has already been prepared.  We’re just waiting for those blessings to be manifested for us in God’s perfect timing.

As we seek to understand our motivation to love and serve God and our fellow believers,  we must realize that the Devil’s going to shoot at us to try and prevent us from striving to reach our goal.  And according to Pastor Ford, if the Devil can’t mess your church up from the outside, then what will he do? He’ll join it!  So, we don’t need to give him the bullets to shoot at us. He already knows that if he can divide us, he can defeat us.

As followers of Jesus, we sometimes attach the ideas of poverty and spirituality to each other. But today, Pastor Ford will help us understand that those two descriptions aren’t synonomous and they don’t belong together. He explains that his job is to separate those two terms for us. And our job is to interpret what he’s saying, while digging into the scriptures to determine whether or not he’s actually telling us what God’s Word says. To learn more, join us for today’s Treasured Truth.

As we continue to look at the reasons God gives us money, we’ll see today how God wants us to line our decisions up with His will for us in order for us to fulfill our destiny.  And that includes our decisions about how to handle our money.

God gives us money for several reasons.  And as we begin today to look at those reasons, Pastor Ford will help us understand that God doesn’t always give to us directly what He wants us to have.  Instead, sometimes He uses His power in certain ways so powerful people will use their power and provision to invest in the lives of believers.
