Wait Till I Get My Money Right | Can’t Buy Me Love | April 2

Sermon by Jake Blair on April 2, 2023.

As we finish this series, we look at the biblical concept of generosity. After all, it's through Jesus generously giving His life away that we're redeemed and brought into the family of God. Now, as recipients of His generosity, how can we, through our generosity, help bring in God's Kingdom, push back the darkness in our city, and make Columbia look a little more like Heaven?

Sermon by Adam Gibson on March 26, 2023.

Last week we learned about the biblical vision behind our resources. Now, how does this help us shape our view of work? What are God’s purposes for you in your job? What does Jesus have to say in your 9-5, even when your job is less than ideal?

Wait Till I Get My Money Right | It’s All About the Benjamins | March 19

Sermon by Jake Blair on March 19, 2023.

So far, in Luke 12, Jesus warns us to be on guard against greed and worry when it comes to possessions. That said, what is the purpose of our material resources? Why does God give us money and things? How do we be good stewards of what God has entrusted to us?

Wait Till I Get My Money Right | Mo' Money Mo' Problems | March 12

Sermon by Jake Blair on March 12, 2023.

In Luke 12, Jesus is aware that money can be a trap for us. Even if we’re not overtly pursuing wealth and possessions, money can quickly become a source of worry and frustration. So how do we think about money biblically and leverage what we have for the kingdom of God?

WEEK 2 HOMEWORK

Wait Till I Get My Money Right | Cash Rules Everything Around Me (C.R.E.A.M.) | March 5

Sermon by Adam Gibson on March 5, 2023.

The Bible, and Jesus in particular, have an awful lot to say about money and resources. One commentator says there are over 2,000 references to material wealth in Scripture. Jesus spoke more about money than he did about faith and prayer combined. In fact, Jesus goes so far as to say that our approach to money is a primary indicator of the health of our hearts.

So how do we think and live well with our money? How can we learn from Scripture to get our financial house in order and, in the process, help our hearts to flourish in the Kingdom of God?
