CURRENT SERMON SERIES:
DON'T SAY
"$#%&X"
IN CHURCH!
This week (11/27): "X"
Scripture: Matthew:25:14-30
This Sunday we will wrap up our sermon series on giving. This week we will focus on how, as Kingdom workers, we should be motivated to be investors rather than consumers. In Matthew 25, Jesus tells a parable about a man who went on a long journey and left three of his employees in charge. One employee took the money that was entrusted to him and hid it away, rather than invest it and put it to work. Jesus is calling us to invest rather than consume, to multiply rather than preserve. This Sunday we will discover that Jesus invites us to invest in His eternal Kingdom.
