Stewardship in Times of Turmoil

Text: Malachi 4:1-2a; 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13; Luke 21:5-19

Extravagant Generosity

Text: 2 Corinthians 9:6-15
Perspectives:
- Generosity has much more to do with a person's heart and values than what is in his or her bank account.
- God is extravagantly generous.
- When I keep what I am at liberty to give, part of me dies. 
God has blessed us for one reason so that we can be generous for God's sake.
- The spiritually wise person has always known that frivolous consumption corrupts the soul
- Ultimately how we handle our money and our life hinges on where we place our trust.

Money, Money, Mission

Psalm 27:1, 4-9, Matthew 4:12-23

Few Christians realize that money is a dominant topic in the Bible. It has more than 2500 references about money and related topics. Jesus himself did not shy away from the topic. The New Testament says more about money than heaven and hell combined. Five times more is said about money than prayer and faith. Money and how we use it is a spiritual issue.
