Money

A pastor pours his heart into many sermons, with varied response from the congregation. I am lucky to be a part of a church that is often very encouraging and excited about God's word. Praise God!

Have you noticed that topics like prayer, fasting, Bible reading, and worship seem pretty run of the mill to the congregation? I've talked with other pastors and they agree: start preaching on money and they REALLY start to talk! Why didn't I hear sermons on money growing up in the church?

I just started a 3 week series on money. The first sermon didn't step on too many toes, but I did get a lot of good conversation around it. Just wait until message #2 hits the scene (history of the tithe and if we should do it in 2009)!

Sermon #1:

What do you think about money and sermons?
