Episode Synopsis

Send us a textHello! Thanks for listening today! We have a very complicated relationship with money. Listen to hear how that relationship factors into our relationship with God. What is contentment? What is desire? How do they relate to each other, and how does God fill out sense of contentment? Know that God has given us more than our daily bread, and has forgiven all our sins. Have a blessed week and tune in again next week! Find us on Social Media! FB: @trinitylutheranelpasoIG: @trinitylutheraneptxwebsite: trinityelpaso.org6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold ofthe life that is truly life.
