Money Matters

This sermon addresses the biblical perspective on money and generosity, emphasizing that money is not the problem—the heart is. Drawing from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, the message challenges the world's narrative about wealth accumulation and security, calling believers to live counter-culturally by storing treasures in heaven rather than on earth. The sermon emphasizes that God doesn't need our money but wants our hearts, and that generosity is the antidote to selfishness and greed. It presents John Wesley's framework of "gain all you can, save all you can, give all you can" as a practical approach to stewardship, while warning against the idolatry of money and the false promises of the prosperity gospel. The core message is that true life is found not in accumulation but in generous giving, and that faithful stewardship combined with radical generosity leads to freedom from worry, debt, and materialism.
