Remember to Live
The people of Israel were about to move out of the desert and into a land that lacked nothing, according to the Moses. The only thing that could spoil it all for them was if they forgot the Lord in the process. Things are the same today as they were then. No matter what we possess or what our surroundings look like, life is pretty empty without the presence of God in the midst of it all. It's easy to forget the Lord when our hearts and minds are captured by our wealth. Listen as we look at one way we can help ensure that we remember the Lord and in so doing, remember to truly live.

Oppression
Audio quality is rough for the first 2.5min. Cultural minorities have been oppressed since the beginning of our time. What is God's heart on this subject? Are we really relating the love of Christ unto each other? All oppressors feel justified in their position; racists, Al-kida, even us christians. Yes, we do it too; often internally without even knowing it. This is a sermon that will challenge our position in modern society & melt away the wax that our lives have been cast from by digging into the root of social oppression.

Sorry
People in our culture show favoritism all the time, but followers of Jesus must never show favoritism. Favoritism doesn't show God's heart for people and it doesn't reflect his word. We need to constantly challenge ourselves and how we treat people different from us.

For $ale by Owner
As Jesus encounters the rich young man we find that our attitude toward, the way we handle, and the how we spend our money forms a window into our lives displaying what we truly value. We all live for something. At the end of the day if we don't give our allegiance to Jesus we will give it to something or someone else. So what takes priority in our lives?

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.

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.

American Idols
No one thinks they are an idolater. Irreligious people think they cannot be idolaters because they don't worship any gods. Religious people think they cannot be idolaters because they only worship one god. Both groups are wrong. And both groups are filled with idolaters. Listen in as we learn about human idolatry and Yahweh's response as recorded in the book of Judges.

Jesus and Your Stuff
As Jesus sets out on his downward journey to the cross, a rich young man on his way up in the world approaches Jesus with a question about eternal life. In the collision of the God-Man heading down and the young man heading up, the ruler gets his life dismantled. The cost of following Jesus is great, and he will lay claim to every inch of our lives. Will you let him wreck your life?

The Real Meaning of Abundant Life (Do You Have Life to the Max?)
Some of the most popular preachers in the world claim that God wants you to live an "abundant life" with exceptional health, wealth and prosperity. Such teaching is entirely false and twists the meaning of John 10:10. This sermon presents the real meaning of abundant life (full, inexhaustible, eternal life) in context of the Gospel of John.

Ecclesiastes 5:8-6:9 - The Futility of Wealth
King Solomon was a man who had unparalleled wealth. He had amassed such a fortune that he could have whatever he wanted and wouldn’t have to think twice about what it cost him. What he came to realize after having all the money he could ever want is that if you love money you will never be satisfied by it. You will toil and stress yourself out to get it, and when you finally do, you won’t have the time or ability to enjoy it, and when you die you won’t be able to take it with you. Instead of devoting ourselves to accumulating wealth we should devote ourselves to following Jesus, and He will enable us to find satisfaction in the good things that He gives to us.

On Entering the Kingdom of God (Mark 10:13-52)
Continuing our series in Mark, we see where we stand relative to the overall flow of the book. In this passage from Mark 10, we see stated and demonstrated four things that are required of us as Christians: the humility of a child; a practice of discipleship that is willing to relinquish our own rights and possessions for God's sake; a cherishing of service toward others that is willing to endure suffering and sacrifice; and a faith that approaches Christ in complete dependence and trust in him.

James 5:1-9
There is a downward pull to the Gospel- it’s the same downward pull that brought Jesus to a dirty, dusty, barren place like Nazareth, and it’s the same downward pull that should move us into action. God gives us what he gives us for a reason. Don’t feel guilty about having a good job and earning good money. Feel guilty if you fail to use it wisely. Those who truly get the Gospel feel it’s downward pull and find that being like Jesus isn’t just about morality- though that’s part, or ethics, though that’s part. It’s not just about being nice and playing by the rules, or about getting my spiritual needs met. It’s about participating in God’s redemptive plan in the world- living in such a way that we see more and more people in relationship with Jesus and more and more people experiencing the justice and peace in whatever way possible, even limited or temporary that ultimately will come when Jesus Himself returns.

A Great Danger to Devotion
Wealth, or prosperity, is a great danger to devotion. We tend to forget God, and make an idol of wealth. Jesus offers us greater joy if we store up treasures in heaven. He offers us Himself.

Proverbs provides wisdom for the how we use money on a daily basis. Being a diligent and faithful steward of God's money requires that we plan and budget, give generously and joyfully, deal ruthlessly with debt, live simply and justly, and plan well for the future.

Wealth & Poverty
Scriptures view of wealth and poverty simply cannot be squeezed into our contemporary economic options. We must recognize not only the dangers of wealth, but also the great potential that wealth brings for caring for the poor and needy. And while we realize that poverty can be the result of sloth, Proverbs reminds us that the rich have a responsibility to care for the poor.

Authentic Worship
Think of the goals of the games we play. Games like Monopoly or Risk. In the face of gaining wealth and power, God has a very different vision for us to see. Our worship and our lives can not be separated. Injustice and authentic worship can not coexist in the life of a Christ follower.

Managing Priorities
Money has a dehumanizing function of measuring value, and it therefore leads people to pursue the goal of having instead of being. Jesus reveals money as power. Power also has great spiritual value, so money and wealth can be used for great good or for evil. This is one of the most "in your face" scriptures in the New Testament about the consequences of wrong priorities.

We are used to seeing warning labels on just about everything we buy. Some of them are necessary; some are just downright silly. Well, in James 5:1-6, God gives us some wealth warnings we’d better pay close attention to. James relays a biblical wake-up call regarding the greed and self-indulgence so prevalent in our culture today.
