Part 2: Whose money is it anyway?—by Ivor Botha and Erick Li Sik

April 24, 2023

Sermon summary:

Erick:

God warns us to save us from pain, and to make it to heaven His warnings about money include:

#warning1: Weath is deceitful. Mark 4:19. The desire for things is different for all of us.

Proverbs 11:28 Whoever trust in riches will fall. 


#warning2: Don't be arrogant and put yr hope in money. 1 Timonthy 6:17, V9–10 

Matthew 6:19 It's the love of money that is the root of all evil.


#warning3: You can't love both God and money. Trust God to take care of you. Look in the mirror and answer the question of who you love. 


Ivor:

How did the concept of tithing come about?

Genesis 14:18–20 Abraham was the first to give God a tenth of all he had.

Genesis 28:20–22 Jacob asked God to take care of him and his family.

Teach your children to put God first. It's not natural to give, we need to be held accountable.


Malachi 3:6–12 God doesn't change. Return to him. Don't rob God with tithes and offering; when we don't give all we promised, we turn away from him. God gives us everything.

Verse 13–18 Talk to those who serve and fear God.

Proverbs 21:26 The righteous give without sparing.

Build Together (Book of Acts), Part 3—by Justin Renton

April 14, 2025
The Holy Spirit gives guidance and direction in our missionary work. Are we doing the work the Spirit has set aside for each one of us to do? He knows the time, place and person to reach out to. Are we listening and obeying when he nudges us? The Holy Spirit forms Christ in all of us and it's a lifetime journey. Seek to be filled. Listen to his voice. Step out boldly.

Sacrificial Giving—by Jacques Genis, CJ Roux & Fungai Blake

April 6, 2025
Giving is an act of trust. It is also not an obligation but an act of worship. Give from the heart, not as a duty, but as a way to express gratitude. Giving is about unity in the church, it is motivated by grace, not guilt, and a spiritual act of joyful worship. Jesus demonstrated sacrificial giving through his actions, leaving us an example to follow.

My Story, His Mission & Grace—by Erick Li Sik and Ettienne Wilke

March 31, 2025
To embrace Jesus's mission, I must first clothe myself with Jesus and have his character formed in me. He must become greater, I must become less. Then I"ll be able to do as Jesus did. God's grace is with me. We need each other. Grace is a gift.
