Does God really care what I do with the rest of my money? Finances may seem like an unspiritual topic.  Yet two-thirds of Jesus's parables spoke directly about money or possessions.  In the gospels, one of every ten verses addresses financial issues.  In all of Scripture, over 2300 verses talk about money. Why did Jesus talk so much about money?  Perhaps He knew that material and financial distractions could become Godâ??s leading competitor for our hearts, attention, and affection.  God's message is clear.  Without clear thinking and wise planning, every one of us is susceptible to bondage to money â?? a millionaire as much as a homeless person.  God wants to own our hearts.  But, for many, money (or the creditors) becomes what owns us instead of God. Join us this Sunday as we continue THE NINETY series.  We'll look at the role of SAVINGS (Proverbs 21:20) in God's plan for our financial freedom and peace.

You've heard about the award-winning TV series, LOST.  Stranded on an island after a plane crash, 48 people struggle to make their new life work.  Just a TV show, right? Is real life all that different?  Sometimes we feel stranded, alone, hoping someone will rescue us.  We deal with anger, wondering why God lets bad stuff happen.  We are ashamed of the stuff we've done, not sure if forgiveness is even possible.  We feel LOST. (note: Message 2 in this series is not available due to technical difficulties during the recording process)

Fishing.  It’s not on the top of my list of things to do in my spare time.  Hate might be too strong of a word, but, to this point in my life, I definitely haven’t found fishing to be a joyful experience.  I know others who love it.  They invest their time and resources into it.  They enjoy the experience, and, might I sadly add, are quite successful at it.  They catch fish!  I, on the other hand, catch no fish! After some honest evaluation, I have come up with some reasons why I might not be a good fisherman: I don’t care much about it. I don’t know how to do it well. I don’t know the best places to fish. I don’t know the effective difference between a real worm, rubber worm, and a dough ball. I give up too easily.Few of my friends fish.And, a biggie for me, the fish don’t want to be caught! So why track ‘em down?  Why trick ‘em into biting my fake fish snack on a hook?  Just to end up in the hand of someone who at the point of capture holds their ultimate destiny in his hand? I might be open to fishing if
