What drives your decisions? God’s kingdom, or money?

Verses

⁹Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position.¹⁰But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower. ¹¹For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.
¹²Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

Money

Chris — Sun, 11 Feb 2018 11:00:49 +0000

Today Martin preached on the topic of Money. Money is an important topic, as it can have a big impact on us and yet, we can also get it so wrong and lead to such a negative impact on other christians. So what is a healthy perspective on money? One that isn’t manipulative but instead seeks to use money for God’s kingdom.

Key Quote

How we spend our money and our time has as much to do with the kingdom as any other topic in the series.
