God or Money? (21 of 26)
by Jonathan McLeod
''For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also […] You cannot serve God and money'' (vv. 21, 24b). SCRIPTURE READING In 6:19-34, Jesus talks about money and possessions. Materialism is one of the big problems of our culture. Craig Blomberg writes, ''It is arguable that materialism is the single biggest competitor with authentic Christianity for the hearts and souls of millions in our world today, including many in the visible church.'' We who are followers of Jesus are to be different. Our lives are not to be all about making money and acquiring possessions.[Read Matthew 6:19-34.] WHAT DO YOU...
A Fool and His Money (3 of 7)
by Jeff Schreve
If you have your Bible, please turn to Luke chapter 12. Adages! Adages are little maxims, little pithy sayings, that tell us how life works. They're little nuggets of truth. They're little proverbs. And we use adages all the time. And we have adages that have just been woven into our life and into our society and into our culture; things from long, long ago. I'm going to lead us in some adages, and I want to test you to see how well you know how the rest of the adage, goes. You ready? Play adages. Here we go! ''It's always darkest - before the dawn.'' That's right. That's good. See, you're one for one. How about this one...
Zephaniah: The Day Money Won't Matter (17 of 20)
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: Somebody just won the big Powerball lottery this week. Imagine $130,000,000. Wow! Wouldn't that be wonderful? You could make your dreams come true. There is nothing you couldn't do with that much money. Right? Hopefully, we all know better than that. It's like the rich Texan who was always trying to impress his friends. So he arranged to be buried in a solid gold Cadillac. The undertaker dressed him in his ten-gallon hat and his fanciest suit and sat him behind the wheel of the specially ordered brand new luxury car. It was impressive. As the crane lowered the car and driver into the oversized...
Money Talks! (10 of 14)
by Ernest Easley
Take God's Word and turn with me to James 5. For some time now from the book of James .. we've been thinking under the heading CHRISTIANTY IN SHOELEATHER. You won't find a more practical and pertinent and personal book in the Bible than the book of James. You've heard me say that what the book of Proverbs is the Old Testament the book of James is to the New Testament. Both Proverbs and James take biblical truth and puts it down where we live. And how we have been blessed these days from the book of James. Now today .. we are moving into the last chapter of James which means...
Money Matters! (15 of 26)
by Rick White
Message Truth: Just as God desires us to worship, witness, pray, and fellowship, He also desires that we give. We are saved by grace, we live by grace, and we are to give out of grace. [Read Text] Introduction: Jesus said a lot about treasure while He was on earth. In fact, one third of His parables address the subject of stewardship. He spoke extensively about it, not because He was a fund-raiser, but because He knew that ‘‘where your treasure is, there will your heart be also’’ (Matt. 6:21). Perhaps no other subject causes such great uneasiness in church life today than the subject of money. You can speak on almost any...
Mastering the Money Monster
by David Cawston
Introduction: Money! It beckons and woes us. It tantalizes and seduces us. It sucks us into its grasp and racks havoc in our lives. And still we deny its sinister power. A Money Monster. Huh! There is no such thing. Meanwhile we devote our lives to earning it glorying in spending it and lie awake nights figuring out how to stock pile more of it. We pursue it in inauthentic jobs. And we bow at its feet and salute it’s commands. It has moved from the shadows of American life to the mainstream of American life. In 1967 college freshman were asked whether it was more important to be well off financially or to discover a...
A Man and His Money
by James Merritt
As with salvation and forgiveness there is nothing complex about biblical giving. The only thing that is complex about giving is trying to understand why more believers aren't doing it. Where biblical giving is concerned there should be expectations on both sides. According to today's text God expects His people to be faithful in giving and we should expect Him to being faithful in blessing us. Biblical giving takes at least two forms. There are both tithes and offerings. The tithe is 10% of our income. Any offering should be above that tithe. For instance, when we give to one of our missions offerings that offering should be above the...
The Money Rule (1 of 6)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: Jesus spoke 37 parables that we have recorded in the Bible, of these, 17 or almost half of them were about money and possessions and the use of material things. Why so much attention by Jesus about money issues? There is nothing that impacts and touches our lives more in every way than material ‘‘STUFF’’ ... money affects every area of our life! It is no wonder Jesus spent a great deal of time and teaching on this subject. The really valuable things in life however cannot be bought, but do require our time and energy to achieve them. An old saying goes like this: ‘‘MONEY WILL BUY A DOG, BUT ONLY LOVE WILL...
How To Master Your Money
by David Cook
Some people only have a heart for the things of this world. When I was a teenager, Madonna was one of the world’s most popular singers…she had a number one song called, ‘‘Material World.’’ The lyrics said, ‘‘We are living in a material world…and I am a material girl.’’ This song fits the lifestyle of much of the world today…we are living in a material word…we are material people...America is both the wealthiest nation in the world and also the most depressed nation in the world…because we have forgotten that there is more to life than having more stuff…but true life meaning and purpose in life comes when...
Your Money Matters
by Jerry Vines
It is interesting to me that the Lord Jesus gives a parable which talks about money in Luke 16, after the 15th of Luke He has given us a series of stories about lost things that are found. I think the reason He does this is this: when a person who is lost has been found, they have been saved by the Lord Jesus Christ,one of the most important lessons they learn at that point is the right use of their money. If you learn how to use your money properly for the Lord, it will help you learn to do a lot of important things correctly in the Christian life. Money is a very important part of the life of everyone of us. You have to have money...
Man And His Money
by Adrian Rogers
James 5:1-9 I want to talk to you about a subject that's on every body's mind and that's the subject of money. I heard a lot about money these last days and the things that have been happening in the stock market I know that you are interested in money... if you say that you are not I have a tendency to believe that you are not telling the truth. All people are interested ...ah.. most all people I believe... to some degree and you can tell a lot about a man's character by his reaction to money... whether it be in plenty or whether it be in poverty. I heard about a man who came into a large inheritance, several hundred thousand...
Evils of Money (19 of 40)
by Stephen Whitney
In his twilight years, Sumner Redstone 84 years-old, should be relaxed, fulfilled and enjoying the fruits of his labor. From a hard upbringing in a working-class neighborhood in Boston, Redstone has amassed a personal fortune of about $8 billion, making him one of America's richest men. The entertainment empire he has built is among the largest in the world, with CBS, Paramount Pictures, Showtime, MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon. His wife for four years, Paula, is half his age and lives with him in a mansion, with two swimming pools, a tennis court, and movie room in a gated community of...
The Money Trap (1 of 4)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: Many years ago a Chicago radio station, WKOX, offered $10,000 to the individual who could devise the most outlandish way to get the money. More than 6,000 people responded to the challenge.The eventual winner was Jay Gwaltney of Zionsville, Indiana, who consumed an 11-foot birch sapling - leaves, roots, bark and all. For the event he wore a tuxedo and dined at a table eloquently set with fine china, sterling silverware, candles and a rose vase. Armed with pruning sheers, the Indiana State University sophomore began chomping - starting from the top of the tree - and working his way down, branch by branch...
Money Management - How to Make the Most of Your Money (3 of 8)
by Jeff Lynn
You may be here this morning for the first time and thinking, ''That's all they ever talk about is money''.Well, the truth is, this is the first sermon on money that I've preached in quite a while. Here is a disclaimer: this message is not about us getting your money. As you can see from the worship guide, your giving is over and above our budget for this year. We don't want you to STOP giving; but your giving has more to do with your relationship with God than it does your relationship to this church. It's about helping us understand what God says about how to best manage the money that He has entrusted to us; not...
The Rich Man's Guide to Family Finance (3 of 6)
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: Today I continue our Season of Family Series with a Rich Man's Guide to Family Finance. This week is really Part Two of last week's message. We will again focus on Proverbs for common sense advice on family finances. Last week I outlined three steps to financial independence for young people. I offered the guarantee that any teenager who sooner rather than later adopted these three principles would never have to worry about poverty or want. On the other hand to neglect these three steps is to virtually insure financial difficulties for life. The three principles were: 1) Get an...
Get Fit in Your Finances (5 of 6)
by Jeff Ginn
In a recent 20/20 broadcast (May 4, 2000), Diane Sawyer interviewed a young, freewheeling, self made billionaire named Mark Cuban. Cuban made his fortune in computer and Internet businesses. Nothing remarkable about that. But it is remarkable that he appears to have had such fun in his line of work. Mark Cuban is a man who is vibrantly alive and enjoying what he does. He also enjoys spending his money on some lavish toys like a towering mansion, a Gulfstream Jet, and the Dallas Mavericks basketball team. But even those acquisitions represent fun to Cuban. When confronted by Sawyer's question, ''Do you...
Tips on Finances from the World's Leading Financial Planner (1 of 6)
by Jim Henry
That is what it is all about -- coming to the cross. Paul said, ''God forbid that I should glory saving the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.'' Most of us came to Jesus before we understood a lot of belief or doctrine. We came to the person. We come to Christ, then afterwards the doctrines, and the truths begin to penetrate our hearts and make a difference in how we live, and our convictions about who He is. Historically, Christ dying on the cross, and being resurrected on the third day, is who we relate to. If you have never come to faith in Jesus Christ, it is all about a relationship, and He wants one with you so much. We pray that...
Finances By God (3 of 5)
by Kerry Shook
God's Guarantee ''And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.'' Phil. 4:19 (NIV) 1. Pray for it before you pay for it ''Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy will be the fullest possible joy.'' John 16:24 (NCV) 2.
