Early in the book of Exodus God begins to make the power of his name known to a variety of different people. The question they were faced with is the same question we wrestle with today: do we trust in the promises of God and the power of His name, or will we choose to ignore them and turn away from Him?…

It’s OK to have money… as long as MONEY doesn’t have us. And that’s where the problem usually arises. We go looking to money to meet our needs, to cover up our wounds, and to satisfy.

If we're not careful, fear can get to any of us. It finds its way into just about any aspect of life, including how we think about money. God doesn’t want us living in FEAR. He has something BETTER for each of us, a way of living that decreases the FEAR and increases the TRUST.Oleh Paul Mumaw

The way we view money and possessions can be positive and life giving, or negative and disruptive. On several occasions Jesus warned that a love of money can distract our hearts away from God and have damaging eternal consequences.

We live in a world that idolizes money and tempts us into believing the lie that the more we have the better life will be. The problem is that our pursuit of more has lead to more stress, more anxiety and more discontentment - no matter how much we have, make or save. Jesus has identified the problem as greed, and he wants to help us learn how to d…

In Acts 24, Paul was on trial before Roman governor Felix and he was blameless. Paul shamelessly preached about faith in Jesus and so put Felix on trial in his conscience.

The true gospel is that our sins are forgiven through faith in Jesus Christ alone. False gospels add something, but nothing we do can make us right with God. Only faith in Jesus, trusting what He has done for us to reconcile us to God, makes us acceptable to God. True faith expresses itself in obedience to Jesus and being guided by the Holy Spirit,…

It’s easy for us to allow the busyness and stress of life to define our perspective.
