Money is never just about money — it’s about trust. From Exodus 17 to Malachi 3, Scripture exposes the deeper issue beneath our finances: whether we will live in anxious control or surrendered dependence. Pastor Nick revisits Massah, where Israel demanded proof of God’s provision, and contrasts it with God’s bold invitation in Malachi to “test” Him through faithful giving. Through Jesus’ words in Matthew 6 and the costly offering of the widow in Mark 12, we see how wealth quietly competes for our allegiance. In a culture discipling us toward accumulation and self-protection, generosity becomes an act of resistance — a declaration that our security is not in what we store up, but in the God who provides. This message calls us to examine where our treasure truly lies and to step into the freedom that comes when our hands — and our hearts — are fully open to God.
