As a Christian culture, we give our money to all kinds of charities. Have you ever had an experience where you've felt guilty that you won't be a good enough Christian if you don't give, even though you're not in a financially stable place yourself? Or an experience where you've gotten caught up in the idea that if you give 10% of what you earned, God will automatically give you more money? You are not alone. These can be common misunderstandings we get caught up in about scripture. So let's take a look at today's sermon: Talking About Money.

A hallmark Christians are known for is serving. People using their gifts and abilities to help others. It's so common, we almost don't need to talk about it. Today's passages introduce an idea that's surprising: That our serving is tied to Christ's evaluation of us. Let's see what the Bible says.

In today's passage, we'll listen to Paul give a more nuanced perspective on this topic. Let's begin 2 Corinthians chapter 3!

What is baptism? The beauty it represents is that it gives hope of being part of a better future. But is it a necessary step to having salvation and eternal life? Is it a defining part of being Christian? These are questions we reflect on when reading a story in Acts chapter 8. Let's begin!

Here is something that a new Christian might not know. After a while, the initial joy and adventure of walking with Jesus may go away. It might be replaced with a sense of distance. Sometimes old sins return. It can leave a person feeling uncertain about his or her standing with Jesus. Is there something more a new believer has to do to get close to God again? This is a common-enough experience that the Bible addresses it directly. Let’s join our message as we look at Colossians 2.

This world loads us with so much information and advice on how to live, and having the wisdom necessary to find the narrow path we must take through all that information can be tricky. Fortunately, God wants us to have help. Let's take a look at Ecclesiastes 7 together!
