The Scriptures tell us to stir up the gift of God that is within us.  When we feel our faith waning or out motivation weakening, it's time to do a spiritual re-evaluation.  It's timem to shake off the spiritual lethargy and learn how to hunger and thirst after righteousness.  

BLESSED ARE THE MEEK: Supremely Blessed, pt. 2

The cultural definition of meekness has to do with someone who is naturally given to gentleness, shyness, or timidity.  But the Biblical definition paints a very different picture.  Prepare to look yourself in the eyes as you gaze into the mirror of God's Word and see yourself in truth, because true Biblical meekness is a very misunderstood concept in the Body of Christ.  

SUPREMELY BLESSED, pt 1: Blessed are the Poor in Spirit

The "Beatitudes" is a list of 9 blessings taught by Jesus on His Sermon on the Mount as found in Matthew 5:1-12.  The term, beatitude, literally means "supreme blessedness."  This series begins by examing the supreme blessedness of being poor in spirit and what that means and why it leads to blessing.  

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE KINGDOM: Money Matters pt. 8

This teaching reviews a lot of scripture related to God's desire to bless His people financially.  But the qualifier is that the recipient of God's most lavish blessings are the ones who are most concerned about joining God in His Kingdom expansion campaign, using people to do it.  God is an investor, and He continues to funnel money to and through those on whom He can depend to give Him a return.  

OVERCOMING WRONG MINDSETS ABOUT GOD'S BLESSINGS: Money Matters pt. 7

Wrong mindsets about money abound, including those already addressed in this series, such as greed and materialism.  But there are wrong mindsets on the other end of the spectrum as well.  Many people have unbiblical ideas about poverty and wealth that are born in religious tradition and/or feelings of unworthiness.  This teaching explodes some tragically wrong ideas that are often embraced in the church.  

PRINCIPLES OF WISE STEWARDSHIP: Money Matters pt. 6

Did you know that Jesus talked about money more than any other topic except salvation itself?  Money issues are important for many reasons, but spiritually speaking, how God's people handle their money actually reveals the condition of the heart and what is important to them.  Therefore, it's important to know what the Bible says about issues like taxes, saving, and other matters related to personal finance.  

DON'T BE SO GULLIBLE: Money Matters pt. 5

Jesus predicted that a day would come when ministers in sheep's clothing who are really ravenous wolves would deceive and take advantage of God's people.  In this teaching we examine several red flags to look out for when deciding where to give your contributions.  In learning good stewardship of God's things, we must learn to not be so gullible and understand that not every minister who claims to speak for God actually is.  

Money Matters pt. 4: Blessing Blockers

Tithing is a foundational Biblcal principle of generosity.  Yet there are other forms of giving the Bible commands.  This teaching examines those other forms of giving, as well as five blessing blockers that hinder the flow of blessing into the lives of even those who are already generous.  

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.
