Money: God or Gift?

What Do You Fear?

What Do You Fear? (Luke 12:4-7)

Message #1 of 4 – We begin a 4-week series on Jesus’ parables in Luke 12 where he addresses the issue of material wealth. We start by examining our fears and discovering our idols.

The Rich Fool

The Rich Fool (Luke 12:13-21)

Message #2 of 4 – Jesus warns us against covetousness can calls us to be content. The example of the Rich Fool reminds us not to merely be rich toward ourselves, but to be rich toward God. For more on this passage, check out “The Parable of the Rich Fool” by Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church, Seattle. You can download, watch, or listen to it here: The Parable of the Rich Fool

Life Is More Than Food

Life Is More Than Food (Luke 12:22-34)

Message #3 of 4 – This week we look at Jesus’ commands again anxiety, worry, and fear, as well as his exhortation not to set our hearts on “stuff”. Instead, we should set our minds and hearts on eternal things, for “where our treasure is, there will our heart be also.”

The Wise & Faithful Manger

The Wise & Faithful Manager (Luke 12:35-48)

Message #4 of 4 – Jesus demonstrates both his compassion and his authority in this passage. While he desires to serve us, he requires we remain faithful. We are to wait ready for his return, stewarding our lives, our time, talent, and treasure until the Master returns. (And he is returning!) Would you live and give in the same way if you believed Jesus were returning tomorrow?

During this series we’ll be giving away free copies of a book by Pastor Jamie Munson of Mars Hill Church, Seattle by the same title: “Money: God or Gift?” Pastor Jamie describes his book as “Doctrine meets Dave Ramsey”. We hope it will be a helpful resource for you as you study with us through Jesus’ teaching in Luke 12. The book will parallel the preaching series and provide 5 daily devotionals each week that will serve as our 1:10 Community Group Homework for this series. If you have a Kindle or iPad and want a digital copy (or if you just want to buy extra copies for others), you can purchase Pastor Jamie’s book on Amazon.com: Money: God or Gift.
