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.

True Religion
What does true religion consist of? What does it look like lived out? As we have studied Mark 12 during Advent, we've seen Jesus refute the religion of the Pharisees, Herodians, and scribes. In this final section of Mark 12, Jesus points to the sacrificial offering of a poor widow to paint a picture of the kind of religion that is pleasing to God.

Readings on Christmas Eve
Our kids get excited because they're getting presents on Jesus' birthday. Doesn't that seem backwards? Shouldn't we be bringing gifts, rather than receiving them. But the Magi weren't bringing birthday gifts to the Christ child. Years after Jesus' birth, the Magi seek Him out, prostrate themselves and present their offerings, their tangible acts of worship. The great gift of Christmas is Christ himself.

Expansion Project
God is glorified when we are obedient to his commands, including his command to give, and especially when we give sacrificially. Giving is a work of grace that we are to pursue. The grace of giving benefits us by laying up treasure in heaven, helping us to mortify materialism and covetousness, and by allowing us to partner in the gospel.
