Part 3: Whose Money is it Anyway?—by Nda Ncube and Solete Wilke
April 30, 2023
Sermon summary:
Saving—is God your barn? Are you storing up things for yourself but you are not rich towards God?
Matthew 25: 14-28 Are you growing? God expects us to grow better at what we do, and to grow what he has given us. He is faithful and comes through when we are in need.
Honour God with your wealth. Develop a deep trust in God, and that he will take care of you. The money you have is not yours. Honour God with the firstfruit of your weath.
Tithing is a sign of obedience.
Proverbs 20:7 The godly walk with integrity; blessed are their children who follow them.

In Acts 2 we read two passages of scripture that form the blueprint for our beliefs. The early church was centred, they allowed themselves to be led by the Holy Spirit. Is Jesus at the centre of our lives?
We all start out the same way, fearfully and wonderfully made by God. The question is: How do you want your life story to play out? God's goodness pursues us. And while things in life won't work out just because you pray, the cross is the greatest evidence of God's goodness. What will you allow him to do in your life?
Yada is a Hebrew word that means "to know". God reveals himself to us through his power, his loving kindness, his word, Holy Spirit and forgiveness. The cross is the ultimate expression of God's love for us.
