The Confusing Path Toward Confident Faith
When we look to Jesus, we do not find the type of “trying harder†faith that is often suggested by well-meaning Christians. Instead, we find him teaching us about a faith that will face our situations. This is the kind of faith that pleases God. In the midst of the chaos of life and at the end of your resources, you are just where God wants you to be. This is the moment of chaotic faith. This is what Charles Spurgeon called “seeking faith.†Chaotic faith is marked by desperation. How does confident faith grow from the moment that we have called Chaotic faith? The faith that emerges from the chaos is ultimately a gift from God.
God Wants Your Money (II Corinthians 8:1-5) 9-7-08
When Paul in II Corinthians 8 shares news of the generosity of the poverty-stricken Macedonian churches, we, along with the original Corinthian readers, are challenged to consider if God has our money and, more importantly, our hearts.
Money Sickness
Do you suffer from money sickness? Or do you just think everyone else does? In a culture of consumption, we need to help to self-diagnose our own level of sickness when it comes to money. Whether you're a spender or a saver, this message will help you look at your heart and where you stand with your treasure.
Perspective on Resources
God has special instructions for rich people and the opportunities their money affords. You are rich.
Giving in Grace
Paul's words to the Corinthian Christians help us grasp the truth of what Christian stewardship is, and what it is not. Christian stewardship is "the free and joyous activity of the child of God, and of God's family, the church, in managing all of life and life's resources for God's purposes." When all is said and done, Christian stewardship is not about fundraising, but faithraising. We cannot give anything to God since God is the Maker and Owner of heaven and earth. The only thing we can do is to manage faithfully and wisely what belongs to God. Stewardship begins with God's giving the life of his only Son - the greatest sacrifice.
Stewardship Pt. 1
The Bible has a lot to say about the topic of money and stewardship. Jesus believed and taught that there was a relationship between a person's heart and what he or she believed about money.

Generosity
Generosity I want to talk about something that I believe God is calling us to. It’s difficult to talk about honestly, because if we have an honest discussion about it, every one of us will be found wanting and in need of a serious heart transformation. This issue is generosity. It’s about living a life of worship because of the One who’s infinitely valuable above everything. It’s about expressing that worship by generously giving what has been given to us for His glory. Its about seeing our resources, our possessions, our money, our time, and our gifts as not our own, and to use them and lose them in a way that shows how much we treasure God. It’s not a call to step up and perform, or to fulfill a duty, but it’s a call to respond to the generosity of our God and the beauty of our Savior.
Poverty
Man's poverty is basically a relational problem. The cause is spiritual, the results is physical. All the world's poverty started with the broken relationship in the Garden of Eden. Relationship is the only legitimate way to address poverty. It starts with and continues with God and His resources.
