Sunday Sermon August 23rd, 2026

What if the things you are holding onto for security are actually keeping you from the generous life God created you for?

In part four of the "Glimpses: A Vision for Flourishing" series, We address our culture's deep-seated anxieties surrounding money, wealth, and security. Using Jesus’ teachings in Luke 12, Pastor Keith exposes how materialism convinces us that our protection depends on building bigger barns, keeping us locked in a tower of self-reliance.

In this episode, we explore three crucial paradigm shifts in how we view our finances:

• Moving from Preparing to Participating: Why waiting until we have "enough" to become generous is a trap, and how planning generosity allows us to participate in God's life today.

• Moving from Acquiring to Receiving: Replacing financial anxiety with the truth that our Heavenly Father already knows our needs and delights to give us His Kingdom.

• Moving from Owning to Stewarding: Shifting away from a closed-fist "mine" mentality to recognizing that 100% of our time, talent, and treasure belongs to God and is available for His Kingdom.

Key Quote:

"Where your treasure goes, your heart will follow. What we do with what God has given us doesn't just reveal what we love—it shapes what we love."
