The main idea of Pastor Jacob's message was that honoring God with our resources, specifically our income, is a way to show our love and obedience to Him. By giving to God first, we keep Him at the center of our identity and resist the temptation to put our trust in material possessions.
Ephesians 6:1-3, Proverbs 3:9-10, Malachi 3:10, Matthew 6:19-24
In what ways have you personally experienced the truth that our identity is not in what we own, but in who owns us?
How do you think honoring God with our resources can impact our relationship with Him and others?
What practical steps can we take to ensure that we are honoring God with our resources, specifically our income, on a regular basis?
Pastor Jacob Aranza of Our Savior's Church - Lafayette spoke about the importance of honoring God with our resources in his sermon titled 'Tookeee of the Tooook'. He emphasized that love and obedience are the key components of honor, and that by giving to God first, we show our love and obedience to Him.
Let us remember to honor God with our resources, specifically our income, by giving to Him first. This shows our love and obedience to Him and keeps Him at the center of our identity.
As we give to God, let us also remember that He is the ultimate owner of all things and we are simply stewards. Our identity should not be found in what we own, but in who owns us.
