It’s Not About the Money Part 2

When you visit another culture, it is important to take some time to understand the customs of that culture, so that you can make sure not to step over any boundaries that may offend your hosts. Pastor Ken reminds you today that as a member of God’s family, there are new expectations that you must learn to uphold. Jesus wants you to reflect His love into this dark world and to show that love to your fellow believers. This is non-negotiable! The fellowship you build will make you stronger against the world’s attacks.

The Torah had strict standards for how the Hebrew people should live, and that included how much they should sacrifice to the Lord. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you about the different sacrifices and tithing customs of the Israelites in the Old Testament, and how giving so much of their resources to the Temple helped them learn to rely on the Lord. God doesn’t want to be the second most important thing in our lives. He wants to be number one, and that begins with where we spend our resources!

In this life, we go through many trials and hardships, and sometimes those experiences can leave us feeling scarred or even hard-hearted. That’s why, in today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you are never alone. In every moment of trouble, there is One who will never leave you nor forsake you. His name is Jesus Christ, and no matter what you’ve been through, no matter how many times you’ve walked away from Him, it’s never too late to seek Jesus and let Him into your life.

Have you ever had a moment when you looked at others and wanted what they have? Many people see the world, with all its brokenness, and still desire what it offers. In the same way, some hear the promise of everlasting life yet hesitate to follow Christ because of what they might have to give up. But today, Pastor Ken reminds you that what Christ offers is far greater than anything this world can give. He is the only way to the Father, and in Him is true life. Choose Jesus; choose everlasting life.

Sometimes in our lives, we judge certain sins harshly while overlooking others. We can become so focused on the speck in our brother’s eye that we fail to see the log in our own. This kind of thinking allows sin to remain in our lives, leading to a hardened heart. That’s why Pastor Ken reminds us not to give room to any sin we’re holding onto. We can’t live in hypocrisy - we must stay in God’s Word and allow Him to transform our entire lives, not just the parts we allow Him to change.
