The Good Life
We Are Stewards
May 28, 2023 • Zach Hornsby
Our Good Life series concludes as Pastor Zach Hornsby asks the question, "what makes a life good?" Jesus taught the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30, how the master gave to each person, expecting them to steward the gift over their lifetime. Money and my perception of it is not my identity. The longing of our soul is to hear Him say, "well done!" The good life is all about where our identity is found, and that is firmly fixed in Jesus.
Can I Be Generous Without Tithing?
May 21, 2023 • Matt Ulrich
The Good Life series continues as Pastor Matt Ulrich breaks down what the Bible says about our money, tithing, and offerings. When we give our first and best there is no guarantee we will receive more. It's an issue of trust, an act of faith. Tithing and offerings are an act of worship, and a guide for generosity. Begin the adventure that comes as we dare to take God at His word and begin to be free in our giving!
What’s the Evil Eye?
May 14, 2023 • Mike Patz
Have you ever wondered what it means to live The Good Life? Pastor Mike Patz brings a message on Matthew 6:22-23, and explains the difference between what Jesus called a "good eye" and an "evil eye". A generous man gets translated as having a good eye in Proverbs 22:9. The Good Life is one marked by compassion. It is focused on one thing; being generous with others, seeing & responding to another's need. The truth about one who has an evil eye is when someone is greedy, stingy, according to Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. If you get your eyes right, your whole life will be right. It's not dependent on social status but rather the posture of the heart. Let's be people who look through the eyes of the image of God.
What Is the Good Life?
May 7, 2023 • Mike Patz
Our new sermon series, The Good Life, begins as Pastor Mike takes a look at Matthew 6:19-24. These words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, admonish us to store up our treasure in heaven. You can only have a good life with a good heart, and your heart always follows your money. Unlike in the game of Monopoly, the game of the good life is not won by accumulating more. Jesus gave everything up to buy the treasure that is you!
