Money

August 05, 2022 | Rev. Dr. Chris J. Hayes

Passage: Matthew 19:16-26

Join Pastor Chris and Pastor Kay for Table worship! We get so obsessed with money and possessions in this life that too often we assume that they are negative, and that good Christians would just “sell everything and follow Jesus”. Although Jesus does invite one person to this reality, perhaps Jesus’ main point is that we must use what we have wisely and have our priorities straight. Money can be a great gift when used as an active and intentional part of our faith, but only if we are careful.

Series Information

There are so many things in life that we dispose of or wish we could get rid of, that God can use in amazing new ways. What would it look like if we recycled all of life’s experiences and gifts and used them in new ways to experience and share God’s love? God calls us to live a zero-waste lifestyle that uses all that we have and encounter: the good, bad, and ugly, to glorify and honor God. How might we use the things we often toss out to share and experience Christ’s love more fully this summer?
