The Mind of Investment
Every spending decision is a spiritual decision. If we are to develop a mind of investment, we have to realize that everything belongs to God - even our finances. And if all our finances belong to God, we must make sure that how we spend what he gave us glorifies him. You've heard a bunch what to do with the 10% of your money, but listen to hear what to do with the other 90%.

The Heart of Stewardship
Every financial decision you make is either a credit to your spiritual life or a debit from your spiritual life. Money is one of those areas that cause many headaches in our lives, but God has many commands concerning your finances that actually are meant to free you. The heart of stewardship begins with you realizing that everything you have belongs to God.

Until Debt Due Us Part
When it comes to finances, it's easy to get off track and the task of getting back on track can seem overwhelming.

And what does God really say about debt? Join us in this four part series as we answer these questions and discover what God's Word says about money and how we can get back on the track to financial freedom.

Why Worry?
Will I trust my heavenly Father to take care of me? OR will I take matters into my own hands? Balancing my responsibility to work hard, give generously, save regularly, and spend wisely with an absolute confidence that God is my provider is a difficult balance for all of us to maintain. It is so easy to begin to believe that we have to look after ourselves, and to become consumed with "having enough." Jesus challenges us to put our trust in Him alone and to give up the useless habit of worry…easy to say ... hard to live out! Key Passage: Matthew 6:19-34

Quantity vs Quality
When we live without financial margin, we rob ourselves and we rob God. As a result we end up overextending ourselves and living with the stress of making ends meet. By making God a priority and creating margin, we give God the opportunity to be involved in our finances.

Less is More
This message introduces the Take It To The Limit message series which was originally given by Andy Stanley. Our culture encourages us to live as if we have no limits. So we fill up our schedules and empty our bank accounts. We do as much as we can, spend as much as we can and acquire as much as we can. Life on the edge means life with no margin. Life without margin is a recipe for personal disaster. Margin is the space between your current performance and your limits. When you reach the limit of your resources, strength, capacity or self-control, you have no margin. And without margin, you have no room for error. The consequences of margin-less living are most apparent in our relationships. Love, intimacy, and friendship happen in the unstructured, unhurried world of margin.

Kingdom Posture: Obstacles to Obedience
Luke 18:18-30 In two Parables, Jesus has shown that the posture of Kingdom citizens: desperate persistence (the widow) combined with humble dependence (the tax collector) upon God in all things. In today's text we will see that there are serious obstacles that stand in the way of all who would deny themselves, take up the cross, and follow Christ.

To Follow Christ We Must Live In Faith
Jesus wanted his followers to live the same way he lived; not to worry but to live in faith as we follow him. One thing that means is that when Jesus talks about our money, it really isn't about the money. It's about something more basic. It's about faith and what it means to follow him. There are three things he tells us in Luke 12: Don't worry about your life, trust in God & be fearless.

Jesus, Your Money, And Yourself
We want to understand what it means to follow Jesus, especially as it relates to our contemporary culture, and one thing we've got to look at is the issue of money. How does following Jesus relate to money and financial issues? If you read through Luke, or any of the gospels, the thing that might surprise you is that Jesus talks about money more than any other single subject.

The Gain of the Godly (PM)
In 1 Tim. 6:6-10, Paul uncovers the irony that godliness is a means of gain, just not the financial gain that the false teachers wanted. Paul then expresses his concern that the church desire spiritual prosperity rather than this world's riches.

The Secret of Life - Part 2: Giving (Philippians 4:14-23)

Abraham, Righteous and Chosen or Money Grubbing Sinner?
With all the attacks on the prosperity message, we have to examine the scriptures to see what God thinks about it. According to some misguided people, money is evil. They also think that there’s something wrong with the people that have it. They definitely think there’s something wrong with people that want more money. With this line of thought in mind, we examine Abraham, the father of Israel. He was extremely wealthy. Money is just a tool. God told him that He was going to bless him so that he would be able to be a blessing to all the nations of the world. We are to be blessed, like Abraham, so that we can be a blessing to the world as well.

Because Unfaithfulness Stinks
The preeminent obstacle to faithfulness to God in all things is my faithfulness to myself above all things. In this passage, Jesus aggressively attacks the Pharisees because they love themselves more than they love God. That is clearly seen in their unfaithfulness with their money, in their unfaithfulness to God’s Word and in the justification of unfaithfulness in marriage. Unfaithfulness is a stench in the nostrils of God.

Squandering God
Jesus warns us not to squander his gracious presence by valuing his good gifts more than we value being with him. He tells this shocking parable of the unrighteous manager to call us to act faithfully to him in the way we use the wealth he gave us. What if we were better stewards? What if we lived beyond ourselves? What if we refused to squander God?
