This Sunday, Pastor Eric begins a new sermon series, "Entrusted."
When it comes to money it seems like we never have enough and it leads to stress, anxiety and frustration.  But, maybe the problem is not how we handle our money; maybe the problem is how we view our money.  Many of us hold on to a world view of wealth that leads to discontentment, misplaced hope, and misplaced faith. But God never intended us to put our faith and hope in money.  In fact, it's not even ours.  In this series, we will look at how to avoid the pitfalls of wealth based upon biblical truths.
