Sermons About Money
A Spending Crisis
. In the United States we have a spending problem. We only produce XXXXXXXXXX amount of the stuff in the world but consume XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. We buy until we run out of our own money and then when we run out beg VISA, Mastercard, or Amercian Excess to give us some of their money (which is actually our money by the way) and gladly pay them 12, 15, or even upwards of 20% interest back. The last statistic I saw showed that on average American’s have a -% savings rate; in other words on average Americans spend more than they make annually. It is totally counter-cultural to not have a credit card. The reality is that the problem in most America households is not an income problem; there is a spending crisis. How can we tell if there is a spending crisis? Look back at what Jesus said and then ask this question…where does my bank statement say the desires of my heart are?

Lost: Flashback
When it comes to personal finances, it is easy to be lost and not even know it. Some of us start off with bad maps or perhaps take an accidental wrong turn or maybe get distracted by something we think we need. Whatever the reason, once we realize we are lost, how can we find our way back? The task can be daunting, but the good news is that God has given us clear directions to guide the way. In this 5-part series, Buck will walk us through some of Jesus’ counter-cultural teachings about money management and reveals the truth that we can’t wholeheartedly follow Christ when we’re lost financially. That’s why Jesus said more about this subject than any other.

How to Stress Less about Finances - Journey to Generosity #1
We were created to be generous—made in the image of a God who first generously created us. But the struggles of life often push us to worry about our financial security. Without minimizing the very real pain caused by our present economic difficulty, is it possible that our current reality might allow us to find a more reliable place for our trust? When we embrace a life of generosity—even in times of economic difficulty—we experience the rich blessing of living as we were meant to live. Now is not the time to hunker down in fear, but to stand up with compassionate hearts and open hands. In this series, we will study the Bible’s invitation to go on a faith journey from financial fear to joyful generosity.
