Welcome to week 4 and the final message of our series, Gold, exploring Jesus' teachings on finances. Pastor Danny Schulz dives into the parable in which Jesus illustrates the magnitude of God's blessings when we give, comparing it to a farmer expecting a bountiful crop, not just a single fruit. Generosity becomes a rhythm of sowing, leading to a continuous harvest.

When we give, God multiplies our giving and can use it for His purposes. People will thank God for what we give. As we prepare for next week’s Legacy Offering, we should keep that in mind. The prayer is simple: “Lord, what would You Have me do?” In the end, the true riches of heaven are people.

We navigate through Jesus' timeless teachings, dissecting three powerful parallels—Heaven/Earth, Light/Dark, and God/Money—unveiling a transformative understanding of how we should view our finances and resources.

The heart of the discussion lies in overcoming financial fear by changing our focus. Pastor Anthony Wood encourages us to ask three pivotal questions daily:

- Who is my master?

- Where is my focus?

- What am I investing in?

Every contribution, regardless of size, matters in the Kingdom.  You won't want to miss this!
