Part 1: Whose Money is it Anyway?—by Ivor Botha and Bridget Mokoteli
April 17, 2023
Sermon summary:
Ivor: Whose money is It Anyway? God is in control, and everything belongs to him.
Matthew 25:14-21 So what are we doing with the resources he blessed us with?
Ecclesiastes 2:26 To the person who pleases him, God gives more.
Bridget: Tithing is an expression of faith. God provides us with everything we need. The only time he asks us to test him is in our giving, and he promises to open the floodgates if we do. It's not the amount that matters, but the heart behind it.

Psalm 23 paints God as our shepherd—guiding, providing, and protecting. In Jesus, the Good Shepherd, we find the same care. Choose godly community over isolation, grow through mentorship, and live to reflect his love in a world that needs it daily, faithfully.
Jesus, the Bread of Life, meets our deepest needs. We chase power, comfort, and distractions, yet still feel empty. True satisfaction is found in him alone. Feed your soul daily with God’s Word before anything else, and let him be your centre.
Living like Jesus means denying self, sharing the gospel in every season, trusting God in hardship, and reaching the lost with grace, courage, and faith.
