What If: Money Was No Object? (2 of 4)
Series: What If
Cal Jernigan
Job 31:24-28
1) Where We've Been
a) What if series
i) The economy
ii) What if we talked about it?
(1) People get funny when the church talks about money
(2) Why is this?
iii) I am not apologetic that we are talking about money in church
