Our Money Story
Release (9 AM)
We turn inward when we are afraid--afraid of losing, of missing out, of not having enough... When we are on that insular path, we hold tight to who we are and what we have and can easily lose sight of the world around us. But what if it doesn't have to be that way? What would it be like to open our hands and release that which keeps us from knowing our freedom in Christ?
Series Information
Everyone has a “money story,” whether they realize it or not. Perhaps we live in constant fear of never having enough. Maybe we feel shame or embarrassment. The same could be said about the church’s money story. Some might say the Church is largely funded by older generations; that young people don’t give. Others say the Church is too afraid of losing its current membership to change and reach new generations. Let’s set aside the stories we’ve heard played on repeat, and open our hearts and minds to the new narrative God might be speaking into our stories. It’s time we discover and share our money stories in light of God’s money story of freedom and justice.
