Listen to Your Future You

October 27, 2024 • J.D. Greear • Luke 16

A legacy is inherently something that reaches far beyond us, making an impact long after we're gone. So how do we approach the stewardship of our money in a way that leaves a lasting legacy? In this week's message from Luke 16, Pastor J.D. takes us through one of Jesus' parables to show us how leveraging our resources for eternity truly is the wisest course of action. If we believe that everything ultimately belongs to God, this will radically change the way in which we handle our finances.

A Legacy of Grace

November 17, 2024 • J.D. Greear • 2 Corinthians 8—9

With the holidays fast approaching, along with the feeling that you are constantly inundated with ads, you'll likely pick up on a common thread: The accumulation of more things equals happiness. But with a "never enough" mindset, it's impossible to be what God desires us to be: cheerful givers. In this week's message from 2 Corinthians 8–9, Pastor J.D. helps us to see a kind of giving that is motivated not by guilt, but as a response to the grace that we have received. When we have this as our focus, we can move from asking, "What must I give?" to "What do I get to give?"

Money Matters

November 10, 2024 • Bryan Loritts • Matthew 6

While we know that it is more blessed to give than to receive, it doesn't always feel that way, especially when the bills are piling up and the money doesn't seem to stretch far enough. So how can we reclaim joy in giving? In this week's message from Matthew 6, Pastor Bryan shows us how generosity helps to shift our perspective on life, giving us what material possessions never can—deep, lasting joy.

What Are You Leaving?

November 3, 2024 • J.D. Greear • Haggai 1, Haggai 2

We're likely familiar with the call from Jesus to seek the kingdom of God above all other things, but our financial decisions are one indicator of what we are truly seeking. In this week's message from Haggai 1–2, Pastor J.D. encourages us to consider how our giving reflects the priority we have placed on God in our hearts and lives. Just as the Israelites fell to the temptation to place their own comforts and priorities ahead of their worship of God, we are still susceptible to this today. By reorienting our hearts, we can ensure that the stewardship of our finances is in alignment with God's kingdom.
