A God of Abundance

Text: Psalm 116 & Story of Feeding the 5000

It is this abundant presence of Jesus that will go with you from this place today, back to your jobs and churches and homes. 
And it is this abundant presence of Jesus that can fill us up to overflowing, allowing us to spill over into the lives of people around us.  Allowing us to take the bread we've been given and be the ones to hand it out to those who are hungering for it.
And it is this abundant presence of Jesus that comes and meets you in this moment . . . right where you are . . . filling you up, satisfying your hunger, and as always, offering you more, so much more, than enough.

Being a Steward

Text: Micah 6:6-8
This sermon defines stewardship and invites the participants to reflect on answers to these two question:
1. Who were the people in my life that helped shape my understanding, actions or appreciation of stewardship and what made their efforts so memorable to me?

2. What attitudes and actions made a significant difference and inspired stewardship in me?

Sing a New Song of Daring

Text: Mark 10:17-31
We can't buy our way into heaven.  We can't earn it or deserve it.  But we are a part of God's kingdom because God gives that to us as a gift.  When the rich, young ruler shows up, Jesus is on his way to Jerusalem to give his all.  He is going there to suffer and die on a cross so that we might live.  We have the promise of an eternal relationship with God, not because of what we do, but because of what God has done for us. 

"We talk about how we spend our money reveals what sort of people we are.  But according to Jesus, how we spend our money determines what sort of people we become.  Treasure is not just money -- it is whatever we value -- time, possessions, families, physical bodies.  And Jesus says that what we do with our treasures affects our hearts -- it determines who we are inside.  It determines what sort of people we become."
