Sermons About Consumerism
I'll Be Happy When... I Get Enough
Why is that we always seem to think we'll be happy when we get a little more... money, success, prestige, power, or things? We live in an age when we are surrounded by the message that we don't have enough - we need to buy, attend, listen, read something to be happy. Is there another way to live? Listen to hear how the apostle Paul ends his letter to the Philippian church with the key to freeing ourselves from 'get-enough' syndrome.

Chasing the Almight - Free
A financially free person is free from things like worry and debt and free to enjoy what they have and be happy for others instead of being envious. But it's only when God becomes the highest value in my life, the absolute center of my universe that we realize it’s more important and more satisfying than anything money can offer.

Advent: Joy 2008
John 15:11: “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.†Hebrews 12:1-2: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.†John 17:13: “But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.†We can fight for joy as we trust in Jesus and His gospel. We fight because Jesus fought for us. We have joy because Jesus is filled with joy for His Father.
