    Our deepest and most intimate needs will never be filled with the temporal things of this world. They can only be found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. The secret of contentment is learning how to live godly lives in accordance with God and His word.

     | 4,000 views

    For many people, their priority in life is material prosperity. When you hear the phrase, 'well off' or, 'well to do', it refers to someone who is wealthy. As we'll see today, those who have stored up treasures in heaven will truly be, 'well off' and 'well-to-do'.

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part 16) Matt. 6:19-24 Suze Orman in her book, “9 Steps to Financial Freedom” writes, "When I was 13, my dad owned his own business—a tiny shack where he sold chicken, ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, and fries.

    Avarise, or greed, is different than coveteousness. Covetousness is a desire for things we don’t have. Avarice is a hoarding of things we have but don’t need.

    You Really Can¡¦t Take It With You Luke 12:15-21 February 27, 2005 We are in the midst of our sermon series on the seven deadly sins, and have come to avarice. It is something that we have to consider. Avarice is a word that we don¡¦t use all that often, but it means a passion for acquiring and ...read more

    We are really good at accumulating stuff. But how often do our possessions begin to possess us? Jesus warns us about the dangers of greed and calls us to be more than our net worth, challenging us to invest rather in godly pursuits.
