What does your money say about your trust in God?
Most of us say we trust God—but when it comes to finances, it’s easy to hold on tight. Jesus talked about money more than almost anything else, not because He cared about wealth, but because He knew how much it competes for our hearts. Money isn’t just about spending and saving—it’s about trust, priorities, and where we find security.
In this message from our Transformed series, we’ll take a hard look at how money tests our faith and why true financial transformation doesn’t start in our bank accounts – it starts in our hearts. Are we holding on too tightly? Is fear keeping us from trusting God? And what would happen if we really lived like He’s our provider?
