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.

True righteousness is justice in practice: following Jesus by seeking what is right, defending the vulnerable, and restoring dignity to those around us.
Put God first by crucifying the idols that steal your time, money and talent. Prioritise Jesus's kingdom, make spiritual effort, and give your best to grow.
Conflict begins in the heart. Jesus calls us to own our part, pursue peace, avoid gossip, show mercy and bless rather than avenge.
