During our Take Care series, we've discussed many ways to steward what God has blessed us with. Today, we are discussing how to take care of our money, and what it means to steward it well! Key Points: 1) Giving starts with gratitude. 2) Money is meant for managing, not for meaning. 3) Tithing is a testimony. 4) Generosity is a joy.
On Sunday, Pastor Steve spoke about the significance of taking care of our bodies. He advised us to consider our bodies as temples that are blessings from God! Just as with any other blessing, it is important to be responsible stewards of our bodies. However, many of us may struggle with doing this perfectly. There can be a range of reasons for this, but Pastor Steve highlighted three common reasons in his talk: 1) We are confused. 2) We are coping. 3) We are caught. Listen to this sermon to learn why it is important to rely on the Lord to help us take care of our bodies!
During his sermon this Sunday, Pastor Joaquin spoke about the importance of taking care of our minds. He emphasized that God is the source of our strength and that if we turn back to Him, we will be rejuvenated, refreshed, and restored. To achieve this, we need to pray without ceasing and be vigilant in guarding our minds against falsehoods. We must also take every thought captive and bring it under the authority of Christ. By doing so, we can experience a transformation of our minds through God's renewing power. 1) Take care of your mind by going back to what God has said! 2) Take care of your mind by guarding it against lies. 3) Take care of your mind with prayer. 4) Take care of your mind by holding every thought captive.
