Leverage: Understanding God’s Economy | May 18, 2025

Join us for the start of our new teaching series, "Leverage," where we dive into the often-avoided topic of money from a spiritual perspective. In this opening message, we tackle the question, "Whose is it anyway?" challenging the common belief of ownership and exploring the idea that everything truly belongs to God. We examine how money is deeply tied to trust in God, a subject Jesus addressed more than heaven and hell combined. Discover why Jesus used so many parables about finances and why a shift in our understanding from owner to manager can revolutionize our lives. This message explores biblical passages like Psalm 24:1 and the Parable of the Shrewd Manager in Luke 16, highlighting how our handling of earthly wealth is a test and an opportunity to invest in things with eternal value. We will discuss using what we have now to invest in things that matter forever, recognizing that stewardship implies accountability and that one day, we will give an account for how we managed what God entrusted to us. This series aims to provide a fundamental, life-altering shift in perspective, aligning ourselves with the reality that everything belongs to the Lord, and we are called to be faithful managers.
