Brian's latest sermon

Click here to listen to Brian's sermon, When is Enough, Enough?
(It is about 10 minutes or so in length.)

Last Sunday Brian preached on the topic of Stewardship. He has called it the 'third rail' of preaching before because it is such a sensitive and personal topic. Frankly, Pastors and churches have screwed up on this topic and given the image that the Christian faith is just a front for another corrupt business scheme, projecting that all they care about is how much you will give. On the other side of the coin many Churches avoid the topic all together to separate themselves from this image to prove that the Church is indeed not consumed by giving. As you will hear in Brian's sermon what you do with your money tells an important picture about what you stand for, and it is a matter that concerns our hearts, and thus the church. It was a tough topic to preach on, I think because it hits so close to home. Brian was anxious all week about this sermon. He barely slept the night before he preached it. He did a good job though! This weekend Brian is just helping with the service and leading a Bible study so we are free to enjoy the tournament without the 'third rail' hanging over us.
