Money Matters, pt. 3: Did Tithing Pass Away Under the Law?

Money Matters, pt. 2

Did you know that if your household makes $52,000 per year or more that you are in the top 0.28% of the world's richest people?  That's right.  At that income you are among the top wage earners in the world!  And Jesus said that to whom much is given, much will be required (Luke 12:48).  This teaching continues with the requirement of God's people in matters relating to money, in particular that of generosity.  

Money Matters

It has been said, "Show me your financial records and I'll show you what's important to you."  Jesus put it another way: "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."  Money matters because how you handle it is a reflection on your heart, character, and level of love for the Kingdom of God.  Since Jesus spoke about money more than any other issue other than salvation itself, we, too, should be familiar with a Biblical perspective related to finances.

WHAT NOW? Faith and Politics; A Post-Election Message

DOES GOD CARE ABOUT POLITICS?  And should Christians be involved in the political process?  Many Christians pray for God's Kingdom to come, but they do so with an ESCAPIST MENTALITY, hoping that Jesus will come back and rescue them from the decay we see around us.  But Jesus told us to "OCCUPY" until He comes back, which means to be busy working advancing His Kingdom, bettering mankind, and effecting societies and, yes, even governments.  In the aftermath of the most historic Presidential election since Abraham Lincoln, Christians now have the opportunity to affect sociey in a way not seen since the Emancipation Proclamation, and we cannot blow this chance God has graciously given us.  This teaching explains a little of what our mindset should be going forward after the Presidential election.

THE LOIN BELT OF TRUTH: Know Thy Enemy, pt 6

Did you know the Word of God can make you smarter?  This teaching about the importance of prioritizing the Word of God in your life includes the testimony of someone who graduated in the lower one third of his high school class to now teaching biochemistry to doctors as a direct result of becoming an ardent student of the Bible.  The Word of God highly esteemed will help renew your mind, and in doing so help make you wise, knowledgable, discerning, and successful in dodging the land mines set by the enemy to destroy you.  

A NEW HERITAGE: Know Thy Enemy, pt. 5

Have you ever hated a trait you have seen in your parents but then recognized that you act the same way?  This is most likely the result of inherited strongholds -- something that is passed down in the family DNA that can be very difficult to overcome.  But Jesus' life-giving power was designed to set us free from even generational strongholds.  This teaching helps you identify the inherited strongholds in your life and how to cut those off, unlocking instead the generational blessings in your family line.  

Know Thy Enemy, pt. 4

Being successful in your campaign against the kingdom of darkness will involve knowing your source of power.  One of those sources is knowing your God-given new identity in Christ, which will infuse you with confidence to overcome every demonic obstacle that comes against you.  

Know Thy Enemy, pt. 3

The subject of demons is not a dark, scary topic.  Rather, it is one of VICTORY for the people of God, knowing that Jesus has defeated the realm of darkness and has shown us how to do the same.  By understanding the tactics of our enemy and where he likes to strike, and by understanding who we are in Christ and how to wield the power that God has put in our hands, we can defeat the enemies of our minds and emotions and walk from victory to victory.  At the end of this teaching, practical instruction is provided with volunteers from the congregation that will show you exactly how to wield the Sword of the Spirit against the enemies that try to enslave your mind.
