The last thing that tends to be sanctified is a person’s bank account. You’ve heard the various versions of that statement. But from experience, we can see that to be true. Stewardship and generosity are difficult things for people to wrap their minds around, especially when they are neck-deep in debt and are already living paycheck to paycheck.
But there’s a reason Jesus talked so much about money. There’s a reason he seemed to always bring the subject up. It reflects a person’s heart toward God. This is why this new series, First Fruits, is so needed.
First Fruits is a three-week series that examines the significance of being a good steward of the resources God provides to us, and of the willingness to offer him our best. We follow Christ’s example when we use our money to serve God, rather than serving our money.
Over three weeks, this series dives into both Old Testament and New Testament passages to show your congregation what God’s heart is in the area of stewardship and generosity.
We believe that when more people discover the gift and blessing of being a blessing to others through financial generosity, their hearts will be drawn even further into the love of God.
As with all Ministry Pass sermon series, First Fruits includes a full series guide, a media package, small group questions, and more.
