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.

Words have the power to build up or break down. Speak with grace, avoid double-speak, and use words that reflect love, especially with our children.
God made us in His image to reflect his character. He loves us freely and calls us to walk in his presence and live in the freedom of forgiveness.
Following Jesus comes with the cost of persecution and rejection. If we face none, it may reveal compromise or conformity to the world. Are we influencing culture—or being influenced by it? True faith shares Christ boldly, just as the early disciples did. Let’s trust God with courage and live boldly for the One we serve.
