Honouring the Leaders in the Church

Living Futile Lives
(Ephesians 4:17-19) A life without living in the presence of the Lord is a futile life. Every person in this world who chooses to reject the call of God is living in futility. They do not understand that this life is not the “main game,” it is just a taste of what is possible. But…

Making The Gospel Free
(2 Corinthians 12:11-15) One of the great things we see in Paul was that he chose to make the gospel free to all those to whom he preached. He did not put any burdens upon any of the early churches because he did not want to burden them in any way. His aim always was…

Church Financing
(2 Corinthians 8:13-24) How should the church be financed? What is the means by which the church should receive it’s funding? Even though we know that money is not a priority in the Lord, there is a basic financial need in the church for it to operate. We need to pay for premises, whether rented…

The Love of Money is the Root of All Evil
(Acts 19:23-41) Too often we hear it said that money is the root of all evil, but this is not what the Bible tells us. When Paul wrote to Timothy it was quitter clear that he said in 1 Timothy 6:10 that it is “The love of money” that is the issue. Money in and…

Working for The Lord
(Acts 18:1-4) My website is called “freegiftfromgod.com” for a reason. It is based upon the approach that Paul took to the preaching and teaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ where Paul chose to work to meet his living expenses while he travelled and taught the word to many people, rather than place a financial…

Jesus Drives The Money Changers From The Temple
(John 2:13-17) Imagine a market place at the time of Christ. The sounds of animals intermingled with the shouts of vendors selling their wares and the clink and rattle of money as it exchanges hands. An intoxicating combination of sounds, sights and smells attacking all of your senses. Well that’s all fine in a market…
