Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

This sermon explores the concept of earning money through purposeful work and service to God, rather than relentlessly chasing after it, emphasizing a different pace, pursuit, and heart posture.

The world’s money says, “Chase Me.” God’s money says, “Earn Me.” Big Idea - God invites you to a better way of working.

Money Talks - Spend Me Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

This sermon explores the concept of using money as a tool for good, rather than squandering it, and encourages Christians to live within their means and avoid debt.

“Squander” is not a word we see used in marketing. Come waste your money here. Great money-pit opportunity! Give us your money and we will give you something that will break, become obsolete, or require even more money to maintain! That kind of language would not sell a product, but, as with most ...read more

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 29, 2025

One of the greatest needs in the church is for people who will not only serve, but who will also lead. It is about those who will invest themselves in the lives of others. I see four examples in Nehemiah’s first actions that separates him, not only as a leader but as a person that God uses.

A study on Ephesians 4:17-32, this is the third in a series on how to clean up our lives by stopping what’s wrong, changing our thinking, and starting to do what’s right.
