It’s Personal: Let’s Talk

We’ve been talking about how money factors into our relationship with God, and how money factors into our generosity to the world and the impact we have outside the home. Today we’re going to talk about how money impacts our most important relationships—the ones with our family. Money can create arguments and disagreements. It’s one of the leading topics couples fight about. We think we’re on the same page until our spouse comes home with a new sailboat or a new car or for some of you, a new house! November 17, 2019

It’s Personal: Daddy’s Money

In our affluent society, the excesses of wealth are out in full display. As a result, we don’t usually think of ourselves as rich, because there is always someone who has more. But the truth is, if we have more than we need, then we are rich. And as those who are rich, we have certain temptations that are specific to us. In this session, we’ll discuss a passage written directly to rich people and the subtle temptation that it addresses. November 10, 2019

It’s Personal: You’re Rich!!

We spend most of our lives trying to get rich. We work and scheme and worry in pursuit of this ever-elusive goal. And yet while we accumulate more and more stuff, and the worries that come with it, we never feel rich. But what if we’ve already achieved that goal, and we don’t even realize it? What if the thing we’re chasing is already in our hands? In this session, we’ll discuss the question: “What if you are, in fact, rich?” November 3, 2019

It’s Personal: Open Hands

During his time on earth, Jesus invited all to follow him. You are invited to follow him, but there’s something you need to know about following Jesus. It will cost you something eventually.

It may cost you money, career advancement, or even relationships. That’s because Jesus offers us the choice of denying ourselves now or losing ourselves later. But you’ll find that when you pay the price for following Jesus, you’ll be glad you did. October 27, 2019

What Happy Couples Know: It’s Mutual

We all enter into marriage with hopes, dreams, and desires. They create expectations. But when you put those expectations onto your spouse, it turns your marriage into a debt/debtor relationship.

The Bible. Hundreds of people live by it. Thousands of people have their morals shaped by it. But how many people actually bother to read it? On the surface, the Bible may seem like an irrelevant book from an ancient time. But inside the covers, the Bible is a collection of books that tells a singular story of redemption, a message that is as relevant today as ever. It’s a story of a loving God that, when read, may seem 2G2BT (too good to be true). September 15, 2019
