Listen "Bread end of year giving."

Episode Synopsis

1 Timothy 6:3-19⁠

Every December, we launch our End of Year Giving Campaign. In this talk, we
consider how, as followers of Jesus, we are called to treat money. Paul
writes to Timothy with instruction to three groups of people: those who
have lost sight of Jesus and who are solely interested in financial gain;
those who are materially poor; and those who are wealthy. And, in this
context, he exhorts Timothy, and all three groups, to refrain from being
distracted.

Our focus is not the love of money, but to take hold of the kingdom of God.
It is only here where we are freed from the power money can exert over us
to become the generous givers we have been made to be. There is no better
use of the resources we have been given than to give them away for the sake
of the Kingdom of God.
