Sermons About Wealth
Soul Prosperity
We need to live in God’s righteousness, peace and joy on the inside all the time, not just cry out to God for it when we are in a crisis. Our soul is prospering when we are walking in step with Holy Spirit.

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.

Giving, Spending, Saving
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.
