  You're
• 0:38
  a
• 0:38
  Christian.
• 0:39
  You
• 0:39
  truly
• 0:40
  love
• 0:40
  God.
• 0:40
  You
• 0:41
  want
• 0:41
  your
• 0:41
  life
• 0:41
  to
• 0:41
  reflect
• 0:42
  him.
• 0:43
  Let's
• 0:43
  be
• 0:43
  honest,
• 0:44
  sometimes
• 0:45
  talking
• 0:45
  about
• 0:45
  money
• 0:45
  in
• 0:46
  church
• 0:46
  circles,
• 0:46
  well,
• 0:47
  feels
• 0:47
  rather
• 0:47
  unspiritual.
• 0:49
  Ask
• 0:49
  yourself.
• 0:50
  Wait
• 0:50
  a
• 0:50
  minute,
• 0:50
  Ralph.
• 0:50
  If
• 0:51
  I
• 0:51
  focus
• 0:51
  on
• 0:51
  money,
• 0:52
  am
• 0:52
  I
• 0:52
  being
• 0:52
  selfish?
• 0:54
  Does
• 0:54
  financial
• 0:55
  confidence
• 0:55
  mean
• 0:55
  I'm
• 0:56
  chasing
• 0:56
  worldly
• 0:57
  success?
• 0:58
  Well,
• 0:58
  here's
• 0:59
  the
• 0:59
  truth.
• 0:59
  God
• 1:00
  doesn't
• 1:00
  want
• 1:00
  you
• 1:00
  trapped
• 1:00
  in
• 1:01
  fear.
• 1:01
  God
• 1:02
  doesn't
• 1:02
  want
• 1:02
  you
• 1:02
  trapped
• 1:02
  in
• 1:03
  guilt.
• 1:03
  And
• 1:03
  he
• 1:03
  certainly
• 1:04
  doesn't
• 1:04
  want
• 1:04
  you
• 1:04
  trapped
• 1:05
  in
• 1:05
  financial
• 1:05
  chaos.
• 1:06
  He
• 1:07
  actually
• 1:07
  desires
• 1:07
  your
• 1:08
  confidence.
• 1:08
  That's
• 1:09
  why
• 1:09
  I
• 1:09
  named
• 1:09
  this
• 1:09
  show
• 1:09
  Financially
• 1:10
  Confident
• 1:10
  Christian.
• 1:11
  And
• 1:11
  he
• 1:12
  doesn't
• 1:12
  do
• 1:12
  that
• 1:12
  so
• 1:12
  you
• 1:12
  can
• 1:13
  stockpile
• 1:13
  wealth,
• 1:14
  but
• 1:14
  so
• 1:15
  you
• 1:15
  can
• 1:15
  live
• 1:15
  free
• 1:15
  to
• 1:15
  serve
• 1:16
  him
• 1:17
  and
• 1:17
  give
• 1:17
  generously
• 1:18
  and
• 1:19
  truly
• 1:19
  impact
• 1:19
  others
• 1:20
  for
• 1:20
  his
• 1:20
  kingdom.
• 1:21
  I
• 1:21
  want
• 1:21
  you
• 1:22
  to
• 1:22
  stick
• 1:22
  with
• 1:22
  me
• 1:22
  because
• 1:22
  today
• 1:22
  we're
• 1:23
  going
• 1:23
  to
• 1:23
  break
• 1:23
  the
• 1:23
  myth
• 1:23
  that
• 1:24
  money
• 1:24
  and
• 1:24
  faith
• 1:25
  are
• 1:25
  in
• 1:25
  conflict
• 1:26
  and
• 1:26
  discover
• 1:26
  why
• 1:27
  God
• 1:27
  truly
• 1:27
  wants
• 1:28
  you
• 1:28
  to
• 1:28
  be
• 1:28
  a
• 1:29
  financially
• 1:29
  confident

  Christian.

  truly

  that

  God

  Chains.
• 2:04
  We're
• 2:04
  just
• 2:05
  about
• 2:05
  done
• 2:05
  this.
• 2:05
  Got
• 2:06
  a
• 2:06
  couple
• 2:06
  more
• 2:06
  episodes
• 2:06
  left
• 2:07
  in

• 2:07
  I
• 2:08
  hope
• 2:08
  you've
• 2:08
  been
• 2:08
  enjoying
• 2:08
  it.
• 2:09
  If
• 2:09
  you've
• 2:09
  missed
• 2:09
  any
• 2:10
  of
• 2:10
  them,
• 2:10
  you
• 2:10
  can
• 2:10
  go
• 2:10
  check
• 2:11
  them
• 2:11
  out
• 2:11
  at
• 2:11
  our
• 2:11
  website.
• 2:12
  That's
• 2:12
  financiallyconfidentchristian.com
• 2:14
  where
• 2:15
  yesterday
• 2:15
  we
• 2:16
  talked
• 2:16
  about
• 2:16
  why
• 2:16
  you
• 2:17
  worry
• 2:17
  even
• 2:18
  when
• 2:18
  things
• 2:18
  look
• 2:19
  okay.
• 2:19
  And
• 2:19
  so
• 2:19
  many
• 2:20
  of
• 2:20
  us
• 2:20
  are
• 2:20
  saddled
• 2:21
  by
• 2:21
  that
• 2:21
  constant
• 2:22
  worry.
• 2:22
  I'm
• 2:23
  going
• 2:23
  to
• 2:23
  encourage
• 2:23
  you
• 2:23
  to
• 2:23
  check
• 2:23
  out
• 2:23
  yesterday's
• 2:24
  show.
• 2:24
  I
• 2:24
  think
• 2:24
  I
• 2:24
  really
• 2:25
  helped
• 2:25
  you
• 2:25
  break
• 2:25
  it
• 2:26
  down
• 2:26
  and
• 2:26
  you
• 2:26
  might
• 2:26
  share
• 2:27
  it
• 2:27
  with
• 2:27
  somebody
• 2:27
  while
• 2:27
  you're
• 2:28
  at
• 2:28
  it.
• 2:28
  But
• 2:29
  today
• 2:29
  I
• 2:29
  want
• 2:29
  to
• 2:29
  talk
• 2:29
  about
• 2:30
  the
• 2:30
  ultimate
• 2:30
  why.
• 2:31
  I
• 2:32
  actually
• 2:32
  got
• 2:32
  this
• 2:32
  question
• 2:33
  through
• 2:33
  our
• 2:34
  Facebook
• 2:34
  page.
• 2:35
  Why
• 2:35
  does
• 2:35
  God
• 2:36
  want
• 2:36
  me
• 2:36
  to
• 2:36
  be
• 2:36
  financially
• 2:37
  confident?
• 2:38
  And
• 2:39
  I
• 2:39
  thought
• 2:39
  that
• 2:39
  was
• 2:39
  a
• 2:39
  great
• 2:39
  question
• 2:40
  to
• 2:40
  somebody
• 2:40
  ask.
• 2:40
  I
• 2:40
  just
• 2:41
  made
• 2:41
  an
• 2:41
  assumption
• 2:42
  when
• 2:42
  I
• 2:42
  named
• 2:42
  the
• 2:42
  show
• 2:43
  Financially
• 2:43
  Confident
• 2:44
  Christian.
• 2:44
  I
• 2:44
  never
• 2:45
  thought
• 2:45
  somebody
• 2:45
  would
• 2:45
  wonder
• 2:46
  why
• 2:46
  God
• 2:46
  would
• 2:47
  want
• 2:47
  that.
• 2:48
  And
• 2:48
  for
• 2:48
  so
• 2:48
  many
• 2:48
  people,
• 2:49
  that's
• 2:49
  the
• 2:49
  reason
• 2:49
  I
• 2:49
  started
• 2:49
  this
• 2:50
  show.
• 2:50
  There
• 2:50
  is
• 2:51
  this
• 2:51
  conflict,
• 2:52
  if
• 2:52
  you
• 2:52
  will,
• 2:53
  this
• 2:53
  faith
• 2:53
  versus
• 2:54
  finance
• 2:55
  conflict.
• 2:56
  Some
• 2:56
  people
• 2:56
  truly
• 2:57
  believe
• 2:57
  that
• 2:57
  being
• 2:58
  spiritual
• 2:59
  means
• 2:59
  you
• 2:59
  don't
• 2:59
  care
• 2:59
  about
• 3:00
  money.
• 3:01
  I've
• 3:01
  heard
• 3:01
  it
• 3:01
  said
• 3:01
  many
• 3:01
  times,
• 3:02
  well,
• 3:02
  God
• 3:02
  will
• 3:02
  provide.
• 3:03
  You
• 3:03
  don't
• 3:03
  have
• 3:04
  to
• 3:04
  worry
• 3:04
  about
• 3:04
  that.
• 3:04
  I
• 3:04
  actually
• 3:05
  saw
• 3:05
  a
• 3:05
  comment
• 3:05
  on
• 3:06
  my
• 3:06
  YouTube
• 3:06
  channel
• 3:07
  yesterday.
• 3:08
  They
• 3:08
  said,
• 3:08
  oh,
• 3:09
  why
• 3:09
  are
• 3:09
  you
• 3:09
  worried
• 3:10
  about
• 3:10
  that?
• 3:10
  God
• 3:10
  will
• 3:10
  provide.
• 3:11
  And
• 3:12
  that's.
• 3:12
  A
• 3:12
  lot
• 3:12
  of
• 3:12
  people
• 3:12
  believe
• 3:13
  that.
• 3:14
  And
• 3:14
  then
• 3:14
  there's
• 3:14
  other
• 3:15
  people
• 3:15
  that
• 3:15
  believe
• 3:15
  that
• 3:16
  progress
• 3:16
  feels
• 3:17
  selfish
• 3:17
  like
• 3:17
  you,
• 3:18
  like
• 3:18
  I
• 3:18
  mentioned
• 3:18
  at
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  beginning,
• 3:19
  or
• 3:20
  that
• 3:20
  progress
• 3:20
  feels
• 3:21
  worldly.
• 3:22
  And
• 3:22
  the
• 3:22
  problem
• 3:23
  is
• 3:23
  it
• 3:23
  burdens
• 3:23
  so
• 3:24
  many
• 3:24
  of
• 3:24
  us
• 3:24
  with
• 3:24
  guilt
• 3:25
  and
• 3:25
  we
• 3:25
  start
• 3:26
  to
• 3:26
  neglect
• 3:26
  our
• 3:26
  stewardship.
• 3:28
  And
• 3:28
  there's
• 3:28
  this
• 3:28
  constant
• 3:29
  tension
• 3:29
  between
• 3:30
  ambition
• 3:31
  and
• 3:31
  devotion.
• 3:31
  I
• 3:32
  found
• 3:32
  this
• 3:32
  statistic
• 3:32
  I
• 3:33
  thought
• 3:33
  was
• 3:33
  really
• 3:33
  eye
• 3:33
  opening.
• 3:34
  It
• 3:34
  said
• 3:34
  this.
• 3:35
  This
• 3:35
  was
• 3:35
  from
• 3:35
  the
• 3:35
  Barna
• 3:36
  Group
• 3:36
  survey.
• 3:36
  It
• 3:37
  said
• 3:37
  65%
• 3:38
  of
• 3:38
  Christians
• 3:39
  said
• 3:39
  they
• 3:39
  feel
• 3:40
  guilty
• 3:40
  about
• 3:40
  wanting
• 3:41
  to
• 3:41
  be
• 3:41
  financially
• 3:42
  successful.
• 3:43
  One
• 3:43
  of
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  reasons
• 3:44
  I
• 3:44
  do
• 3:44
  this
• 3:44
  show
• 3:44
  is
• 3:44
  I
• 3:44
  don't
• 3:45
  want
• 3:45
  you
• 3:45
  to
• 3:45
  feel
• 3:45
  guilty
• 3:46
  about
• 3:46
  being
• 3:47
  financially
• 3:47
  successful.
• 3:48
  It
• 3:49
  might
• 3:49
  not
• 3:49
  be
• 3:49
  what
• 3:49
  you
• 3:49
  expect.
• 3:51
  But
• 3:51
  if
• 3:51
  you
• 3:51
  feel
• 3:51
  guilty
• 3:52
  about
• 3:52
  this.
• 3:53
  It
• 3:53
  results
• 3:54
  in
• 3:54
  missed
• 3:54
  opportunities
• 3:55
  to
• 3:55
  truly
• 3:56
  glorify
• 3:56
  God
• 3:56
  with
• 3:57
  your
• 3:57
  resources.
• 3:57
  And
• 3:57
  that's
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  whole
• 3:58
  point.
• 3:58
  That's
• 3:59
  what
• 3:59
  he
• 3:59
  wants
• 3:59
  you
• 3:59
  to
• 4:00
  do.
• 4:00
  Because
• 4:01
  here's
• 4:01
  the
• 4:01
  thing.
• 4:02
  God
• 4:02
  wants
• 4:03
  your
• 4:03
  confidence.
• 4:04
  He
• 4:05
  wants
• 4:05
  your
• 4:05
  confidence,
• 4:06
  not
• 4:06
  for
• 4:06
  selfish
• 4:07
  gain.
• 4:08
  And
• 4:08
  think
• 4:08
  about
• 4:09
  that
• 4:09
  for
• 4:09
  a
• 4:09
  second.
• 4:09
  What
• 4:09
  is
• 4:09
  Ralph
• 4:10
  really
• 4:10
  saying
• 4:10
  today?
• 4:11
  It's
• 4:11
  so
• 4:11
  important
• 4:11
  that
• 4:11
  you
• 4:12
  get
• 4:12
  a
• 4:12
  grasp
• 4:12
  on
• 4:13
  this.
• 4:14
  The
• 4:14
  purpose
• 4:15
  is
• 4:15
  to
• 4:15
  free
• 4:15
  you,
• 4:15
  to
• 4:16
  serve,
• 4:17
  to
• 4:17
  free
• 4:18
  you
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  give,
• 4:19
  and
• 4:19
  to
• 4:19
  really
• 4:20
  free
• 4:20
  you
• 4:20
  to
• 4:20
  advance
• 4:21
  his
• 4:21
  kingdom.
• 4:21
  That's
• 4:21
  the
• 4:21
  whole
• 4:22
  point.
• 4:22
  Money
• 4:22
  is
• 4:23
  just
• 4:23
  a
• 4:23
  tool.
• 4:24
  It's
• 4:24
  not
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  goal.
• 4:25
  So
• 4:25
  many
• 4:25
  people
• 4:25
  get
• 4:26
  stuck
• 4:26
  on
• 4:26
  money
• 4:27
  being
• 4:27
  the
• 4:27
  goal
• 4:28
  and
• 4:29
  that's
• 4:29
  where
• 4:29
  it
• 4:29
  becomes
• 4:29
  an
• 4:29
  issue.
• 4:30
  But
• 4:31
  when
• 4:31
  it's
• 4:31
  really
• 4:31
  used
• 4:31
  as
• 4:32
  a
• 4:32
  tool
• 4:32
  to
• 4:32
  serve
• 4:33
  him,
• 4:33
  to
• 4:33
  give
• 4:34
  to
• 4:34
  him
• 4:34
  and
• 4:35
  to
• 4:35
  advance
• 4:35
  his
• 4:35
  kingdom.
• 4:35
  That's
• 4:36
  why
• 4:36
  Lord
• 4:36
  wants
• 4:36
  us
• 4:37
  to
• 4:37
  be
• 4:37
  financially
• 4:38
  confident
• 4:38
  Christians.
• 4:39
  Well,
• 4:39
  let's
• 4:40
  get
• 4:40
  right
• 4:40
  into
• 4:40
  the
• 4:40
  word
• 4:40
  of
• 4:40
  God.
• 4:41
  I
• 4:41
  found
• 4:41
  this
• 4:41
  verse
• 4:41
  in
• 4:42
  the
• 4:42
  book
• 4:42
  of
• 4:42
  Matthew.
• 4:43
  It
• 4:43
  talks
• 4:43
  all
• 4:43
  about
• 4:43
  the
• 4:44
  parable
• 4:44
  of
• 4:44
  the
• 4:44
  talents.
• 4:44
  It's
• 4:45
  a
• 4:45
  long
• 4:45
  verse.
• 4:45
  I'm
• 4:45
  not
• 4:45
  going
• 4:45
  to
• 4:46
  read
• 4:46
  it
• 4:46
  on
• 4:46
  the
• 4:46
  show
• 4:46
  today,
• 4:46
  but.
• 4:47
  But
• 4:47
  I'm
• 4:47
  encourage
• 4:47
  you
• 4:47
  to
• 4:47
  read.
• 4:48
  It's
• 4:48
  Matthew
• 4:48
  25,
• 4:49
  verses
• 4:50
  14
• 4:50
  to
• 4:50
  30.
• 4:51
  And
• 4:51
  it
• 4:51
  talks
• 4:52
  all
• 4:52
  about
• 4:52
  the
• 4:52
  servant
• 4:53
  who
• 4:53
  multiplied
• 4:53
  their
• 4:54
  resources.
• 4:55
  And
• 4:55
  guess
• 4:56
  what?
• 4:56
  It
• 4:56
  was
• 4:56
  a
• 4:56
  command
• 4:57
  of
• 4:57
  God.
• 4:58
  And
• 4:58
  so
• 4:59
  many
• 4:59
  people
• 4:59
  get
• 4:59
  hung
• 4:59
  up
• 5:00
  on
• 5:00
  this.
• 5:01
  God
• 5:01
  has
• 5:01
  entrusted
• 5:02
  what
• 5:02
  you
• 5:02
  have
• 5:03
  and
• 5:03
  he
• 5:03
  expects
• 5:04
  you
• 5:04
  to
• 5:04
  manage
• 5:04
  that
• 5:05
  wisely.
• 5:05
  And
• 5:06
  he
• 5:06
  expects
• 5:06
  you
• 5:06
  to
• 5:06
  allow
• 5:07
  that
• 5:07
  to
• 5:07
  grow.
• 5:07
  That
• 5:07
  was
• 5:07
  the
• 5:07
  whole
• 5:08
  point
• 5:08
  of
• 5:08
  the.
• 5:08
  Parable,
• 5:08
  the
• 5:09
  one
• 5:09
  that
• 5:09
  buried
• 5:09
  it,
• 5:10
  didn't
• 5:10
  let
• 5:10
  it
• 5:11
  grow.
• 5:11
  But
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  others
• 5:12
  let
• 5:12
  their
• 5:12
  talents
• 5:13
  grow.
• 5:13
  Let
• 5:13
  their
• 5:13
  money
• 5:14
  grow.
• 5:15
  I
• 5:15
  found
• 5:15
  this
• 5:15
  verse
• 5:15
  from
• 5:16
  second
• 5:16
  Corinthians.
• 5:17
  Chapter
• 5:17
  nine,
• 5:17
  verse
• 5:18
  eight.
• 5:18
  And
• 5:18
  I
• 5:18
  thought
• 5:18
  this
• 5:18
  really
• 5:19
  summed
• 5:19
  it
• 5:19
  up
• 5:19
  beautifully
• 5:20
  and
• 5:21
  God
• 5:21
  is
• 5:21
  able
• 5:21
  to
• 5:21
  bless
• 5:22
  you
• 5:22
  abundantly
• 5:23
  so
• 5:23
  that
• 5:23
  in
• 5:23
  all
• 5:23
  things,
• 5:24
  at
• 5:24
  all
• 5:24
  times,
• 5:25
  having
• 5:25
  all
• 5:26
  you
• 5:26
  need,
• 5:27
  you
• 5:27
  will
• 5:27
  abound
• 5:28
  in
• 5:28
  every
• 5:28
  good
• 5:28
  work.
• 5:29
  And
• 5:30
  that's
• 5:30
  really
• 5:30
  what
• 5:30
  the
• 5:30
  confidence
• 5:31
  comes
• 5:31
  down
• 5:31
  to,
• 5:32
  it's
• 5:32
  sufficiency.
• 5:33
  You
• 5:33
  know,
• 5:33
  Maslow
• 5:34
  studies
• 5:34
  this
• 5:34
  thing
• 5:34
  called.
• 5:35
  The
• 5:35
  hierarchy
• 5:35
  of
• 5:36
  needs.
• 5:36
  And
• 5:36
  I
• 5:36
  say
• 5:37
  this
• 5:37
  on
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  show
• 5:37
  all
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  time.
• 5:38
  If
• 5:38
  you're
• 5:39
  not
• 5:39
  getting
• 5:39
  the
• 5:39
  basic
• 5:40
  needs,
• 5:40
  food,
• 5:40
  clothing
• 5:41
  and
• 5:41
  shelter,
• 5:42
  you're
• 5:42
  never
• 5:42
  going
• 5:42
  to
• 5:43
  be
• 5:43
  able
• 5:43
  to
• 5:43
  bless
• 5:43
  other
• 5:43
  people.
• 5:44
  You're
• 5:44
  never
• 5:44
  going
• 5:45
  to
• 5:45
  be
• 5:45
  able
• 5:45
  to
• 5:45
  have
• 5:45
  generosity,
• 5:46
  you're
• 5:47
  not
• 5:47
  going
• 5:47
  to
• 5:47
  be
• 5:47
  able
• 5:47
  to
• 5:47
  be
• 5:47
  a
• 5:48
  missionary,
• 5:48
  you're
• 5:48
  not
• 5:48
  going
• 5:48
  to
• 5:48
  be
• 5:48
  able
• 5:49
  to
• 5:49
  do
• 5:49
  any
• 5:49
  of
• 5:49
  those
• 5:50
  things
• 5:50
  that
• 5:50
  truly
• 5:51
  grow
• 5:51
  the
• 5:51
  kingdom.
• 5:52
  And
• 5:52
  I
• 5:52
  found
• 5:52
  this
• 5:52
  verse
• 5:53
  in
• 5:53
  the.
• 5:53
  Book
• 5:53
  of
• 5:53
  Proverbs,
• 5:54
  chapter
• 5:54
  22:7.
• 5:56
  The
• 5:56
  rich
• 5:56
  rule
• 5:56
  over
• 5:57
  the
• 5:57
  poor
• 5:57
  and
• 5:58
  the
• 5:58
  borrower
• 5:58
  is
• 5:59
  slave
• 5:59
  to
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  lender.
• 6:00
  I've
• 6:00
  used
• 6:00
  that
• 6:00
  on
• 6:01
  the
• 6:01
  show
• 6:01
  talking
• 6:01
  about
• 6:01
  debt
• 6:02
  many
• 6:02
  times,
• 6:03
  but
• 6:03
  it
• 6:03
  builds
• 6:03
  into
• 6:04
  this
• 6:04
  confidence
• 6:04
  idea
• 6:05
  as
• 6:05
  well.
• 6:06
  Because
• 6:06
  financial
• 6:07
  freedom,
• 6:07
  when
• 6:08
  you're
• 6:08
  not
• 6:08
  a
• 6:08
  slave
• 6:08
  to
• 6:09
  the
• 6:09
  lender
• 6:09
  or,
• 6:10
  or
• 6:10
  slave
• 6:10
  to
• 6:10
  your
• 6:11
  finances,
• 6:12
  it
• 6:12
  gives
• 6:12
  you
• 6:13
  the
• 6:13
  ability
• 6:13
  to
• 6:13
  serve.
• 6:14
  And
• 6:14
  one
• 6:14
  more
• 6:14
  verse
• 6:15
  today.
• 6:15
  It's
• 6:15
  a
• 6:15
  little
• 6:15
  heavy
• 6:16
  on
• 6:16
  verses
• 6:16
  today,
• 6:16
  but
• 6:17
  I
• 6:17
  thought
• 6:17
  this
• 6:17
  one
• 6:17
  was
• 6:17
  great
• 6:17
  as
• 6:18
  well.
• 6:18
  And
• 6:18
  this
• 6:18
  is
• 6:19
  from
• 6:19
  Colossians,
• 6:20
  chapter
• 6:20
  3,
• 6:21
  verses
• 6:21
  23
• 6:22
  to
• 6:22
  24.
• 6:23
  And
• 6:23
  it
• 6:23
  says
• 6:23
  this,
• 6:24
  and
• 6:24
  this
• 6:24
  could
• 6:25
  be
• 6:25
  our
• 6:25
  marching
• 6:25
  orders
• 6:26
  for
• 6:26
  today.
• 6:27
  Whatever
• 6:27
  you
• 6:27
  do,
• 6:28
  work
• 6:29
  at
• 6:29
  it
• 6:29
  with
• 6:29
  all
• 6:29
  your
• 6:29
  heart,
• 6:30
  as
• 6:30
  working
• 6:30
  for
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  Lord.
• 6:32
  I
• 6:32
  had
• 6:32
  a
• 6:32
  mentor
• 6:32
  say
• 6:33
  to
• 6:33
  me,
• 6:33
  ralph,
• 6:33
  in
• 6:33
  your
• 6:34
  business,
• 6:34
  even
• 6:34
  in
• 6:35
  secular
• 6:35
  business,
• 6:35
  work,
• 6:37
  whatever
• 6:37
  you
• 6:37
  do,
• 6:38
  work
• 6:38
  at.
• 6:38
  It
• 6:38
  with
• 6:39
  all
• 6:39
  your
• 6:39
  heart
• 6:39
  as
• 6:40
  if.
• 6:40
  You'Re
• 6:40
  working
• 6:40
  for
• 6:40
  the
• 6:41
  Lord
• 6:41
  himself,
• 6:41
  Lord
• 6:41
  as
• 6:42
  your
• 6:42
  boss.
• 6:43
  And
• 6:43
  see,
• 6:43
  managing
• 6:44
  money
• 6:45
  and
• 6:45
  managing
• 6:46
  money
• 6:46
  faithfully
• 6:47
  is
• 6:47
  an
• 6:47
  act
• 6:47
  of
• 6:48
  worship.
• 6:48
  And
• 6:48
  I
• 6:48
  love
• 6:48
  what
• 6:49
  John
• 6:49
  Wesley
• 6:49
  said.
• 6:49
  He
• 6:49
  said,
• 6:50
  earn
• 6:50
  all
• 6:50
  you
• 6:50
  can,
• 6:51
  save
• 6:51
  all
• 6:52
  you
• 6:52
  can
• 6:52
  and
• 6:53
  give
• 6:53
  all
• 6:53
  you
• 6:53
  can.
• 6:54
  And
• 6:54
  that's
• 6:54
  really
• 6:54
  the
• 6:54
  big
• 6:54
  takeaway
• 6:55
  for
• 6:55
  today.
• 6:55
  Earn
• 6:56
  all
• 6:56
  you
• 6:56
  can.
• 6:57
  Be
• 6:57
  confident
• 6:58
  in
• 6:58
  your
• 6:58
  earnings,
• 6:59
  Save
• 6:59
  all
• 6:59
  you
• 6:59
  can.
• 7:00
  But
• 7:00
  what
• 7:01
  does
• 7:01
  he
• 7:01
  end
• 7:01
  with?
• 7:02
  Give
• 7:02
  all
• 7:03
  you
• 7:03
  can.
• 7:04
  So,
• 7:04
  you
• 7:04
  know,
• 7:04
  you
• 7:04
  might
• 7:04
  be
• 7:04
  saying
• 7:05
  rough,
• 7:05
  okay,
• 7:05
  how
• 7:05
  do
• 7:05
  we
• 7:06
  align
• 7:06
  that
• 7:06
  pursuit
• 7:06
  of
• 7:07
  confidence
• 7:07
  with
• 7:07
  God's
• 7:08
  desire?
• 7:08
  I'm
• 7:08
  still
• 7:08
  a
• 7:08
  little
• 7:09
  disconnected
• 7:09
  with
• 7:09
  that.
• 7:10
  But
• 7:10
  here's
• 7:11
  what
• 7:11
  you
• 7:11
  got
• 7:11
  to
• 7:11
  do.
• 7:11
  You
• 7:11
  got
• 7:11
  to
• 7:12
  connect
• 7:12
  that
• 7:12
  financial
• 7:13
  confidence
• 7:13
  with
• 7:13
  your
• 7:14
  kingdom
• 7:14
  purpose.
• 7:15
  And
• 7:15
  when
• 7:16
  you
• 7:16
  can
• 7:16
  do
• 7:16
  that,
• 7:17
  worship
• 7:17
  and
• 7:17
  service
• 7:18
  is
• 7:18
  not
• 7:18
  self
• 7:19
  ambition.
• 7:19
  Rick
• 7:19
  Warren
• 7:20
  said
• 7:20
  this
• 7:20
  and
• 7:20
  I
• 7:20
  thought
• 7:21
  this
• 7:21
  was
• 7:21
  great.
• 7:22
  Rick
• 7:22
  said
• 7:22
  this.
• 7:22
  The
• 7:23
  way
• 7:23
  you
• 7:23
  store
• 7:23
  up
• 7:23
  treasure
• 7:24
  in

• 7:28
  And
• 7:28
  you
• 7:28
  know
• 7:28
  what,
• 7:29
  we
• 7:29
  can

  all
• 7:29
  learn

  from
• 7:29
  that.
• 7:30
  So
• 7:30
  here's
• 7:30
  your
• 7:31
  one
• 7:31
  action
• 7:31
  step
• 7:31
  for
• 7:31
  today
• 7:32
  to

  really

  help
• 7:33
  you
• 7:33
  get
• 7:33
  to
• 7:33
  this
• 7:33
  point
• 7:34
  of
• 7:34
  truly
• 7:34
  believing
• 7:35
  that
• 7:35
  the

  Lord
• 7:36
  wants
• 7:36
  you
• 7:36
  to
• 7:36
  have
• 7:37
  financial
• 7:37
  confidence.
• 7:38
  It
• 7:38
  all
• 7:38
  starts
• 7:39
  with
• 7:39
  this.
• 7:39
  You
• 7:40
  got
• 7:40
  to
• 7:40
  start
• 7:40
  by
• 7:40
  defining
• 7:41
  your
• 7:41
  kingdom.
• 7:42
  Why?
• 7:43
  When
• 7:43
  I
• 7:43
  work
• 7:43
  with
• 7:43
  small
• 7:44
  business
• 7:44
  people,
• 7:44
  when
• 7:45
  I
• 7:45
  work
• 7:45
  with
• 7:45
  those
• 7:45
  folks,
• 7:46
  I
• 7:46
  always
• 7:46
  help
• 7:46
  them
• 7:47
  go
• 7:47
  to,
• 7:47
  why
• 7:47
  did
• 7:48
  I
• 7:48
  start
• 7:48
  this
• 7:48
  business?
• 7:49
  Well,
• 7:49
  you've
• 7:50
  got
• 7:50
  to
• 7:50
  think
• 7:50
  about
• 7:50
  the
• 7:50
  same
• 7:50
  thing
• 7:51
  for
• 7:51
  your
• 7:51
  personal
• 7:51
  finances.
• 7:52
  What
• 7:53
  is
• 7:53
  your
• 7:53
  kingdom?
• 7:53
  Why?
• 7:54
  What
• 7:55
  are
• 7:55
  your
• 7:55
  gifts?
• 7:56
  What
• 7:56
  is
• 7:56
  the
• 7:56
  Lord
• 7:56
  gifted
• 7:57
  you
• 7:57
  with?
• 7:57
  What
• 7:57
  are
• 7:57
  your
• 7:58
  callings?
• 7:59
  What
• 7:59
  has
• 7:59
  he
• 7:59
  called
• 7:59
  you
• 8:00
  to
• 8:00
  do?
• 8:00
  What
• 8:00
  are
• 8:00
  your
• 8:00
  passions?
• 8:02
  And
• 8:02
  ask
• 8:03
  yourself
• 8:03
  this,
• 8:03
  and
• 8:04
  this
• 8:04
  is
• 8:04
  going
• 8:04
  to
• 8:04
  really
• 8:04
  sum
• 8:05
  it
• 8:05
  up
• 8:05
  today.
• 8:05
  How
• 8:06
  would
• 8:06
  financial
• 8:07
  confidence
• 8:07
  enable
• 8:08
  me
• 8:08
  to
• 8:09
  do
• 8:09
  those
• 8:09
  things?
• 8:10
  Would
• 8:11
  it
• 8:11
  be
• 8:11
  giving
• 8:11
  more
• 8:12
  generously
• 8:12
  if
• 8:12
  you
• 8:12
  have
• 8:13
  financial
• 8:13
  confidence?
• 8:14
  Could
• 8:14
  you
• 8:14
  give
• 8:14
  more
• 8:15
  generously
• 8:16
  if
• 8:16
  you
• 8:16
  have
• 8:17
  financial
• 8:17
  confidence?
• 8:17
  Could
• 8:18
  you
• 8:18
  serve
• 8:18
  without
• 8:18
  limitations?
• 8:19
  You're
• 8:19
  not
• 8:19
  worried
• 8:19
  about
• 8:20
  making
• 8:20
  that
• 8:20
  mortgage
• 8:21
  payment
• 8:21
  or
• 8:21
  worried
• 8:22
  about
• 8:22
  that
• 8:22
  car
• 8:22
  loan
• 8:23
  or
• 8:23
  worried
• 8:23
  about
• 8:23
  paying
• 8:24
  off
• 8:24
  that
• 8:24
  mountain
• 8:24
  of
• 8:24
  debt
• 8:25
  before
• 8:25
  you.
• 8:26
  If
• 8:26
  you
• 8:26
  had
• 8:27
  more
• 8:27
  confidence,
• 8:27
  would
• 8:28
  it
• 8:28
  enable
• 8:28
  you
• 8:28
  to
• 8:28
  fund
• 8:29
  ministry
• 8:29
  or
• 8:29
  maybe
• 8:29
  be
• 8:30
  a
• 8:30
  missionary
• 8:30
  yourself
• 8:31
  or
• 8:31
  go
• 8:31
  and
• 8:31
  do
• 8:31
  outreach
• 8:32
  work?
• 8:33
  But
• 8:33
  bigger
• 8:34
  than
• 8:34
  all
• 8:34
  those
• 8:34
  things,
• 8:35
  if
• 8:35
  you
• 8:36
  had
• 8:36
  financial
• 8:36
  confidence,
• 8:38
  would
• 8:38
  it
• 8:38
  allow
• 8:38
  you
• 8:39
  to
• 8:39
  have
• 8:39
  peace
• 8:40
  of
• 8:40
  God
• 8:41
  to
• 8:41
  focus
• 8:41
  on
• 8:42
  your
• 8:42
  relationship
• 8:42
  with
• 8:43
  him?
• 8:43
  And
• 8:43
  I
• 8:43
  think
• 8:43
  that's
• 8:43
  what
• 8:43
  it
• 8:43
  really
• 8:44
  all
• 8:44
  comes
• 8:44
  down
• 8:44
  to.
• 8:45
  So
• 8:45
  start
• 8:45
  there,
• 8:45
  write
• 8:46
  it
• 8:46
  down.
• 8:47
  Write
• 8:47
  down
• 8:47
  your
• 8:47
  kingdom
• 8:48
  why?
• 8:49
  And
• 8:49
  once
• 8:49
  you
• 8:49
  do
• 8:50
  that,
• 8:50
  I
• 8:50
  want
• 8:50
  to
• 8:50
  encourage
• 8:50
  you
• 8:51
  to
• 8:51
  pray
• 8:51
  about
• 8:51
  it.
• 8:52
  Just
• 8:52
  say
• 8:52
  something
• 8:52
  like,
• 8:53
  lord,
• 8:53
  align
• 8:54
  my
• 8:54
  financial
• 8:54
  goals
• 8:55
  with
• 8:55
  your
• 8:55
  purpose.
• 8:56
  Show
• 8:56
  me
• 8:56
  how
• 8:57
  to
• 8:57
  glorify
• 8:57
  you
• 8:57
  with
• 8:58
  my
• 8:58
  resources.
• 8:58
  Because
• 8:59
  this
• 8:59
  isn't
• 8:59
  about
• 8:59
  selfish
• 9:00
  ambition.
• 9:01
  This
• 9:01
  is
• 9:01
  about
• 9:02
  how
• 9:02
  to
• 9:02
  bring
• 9:02
  that
• 9:03
  into
• 9:03
  congruence
• 9:04
  with
• 9:04
  God.
• 9:05
  Has
• 9:05
  that
• 9:05
  why
• 9:05
  for
• 9:06
  your
• 9:06
  life.
• 9:07
  And
• 9:07
  then
• 9:07
  I'm
• 9:07
  encouraged
• 9:08
  you
• 9:08
  to
• 9:08
  do
• 9:08
  one
• 9:08
  more
• 9:08
  thing,
• 9:09
  and
• 9:09
  that
• 9:10
  is
• 9:10
  link
• 9:10
  one
• 9:10
  goal
• 9:11
  to
• 9:11
  your
• 9:11
  why.
• 9:11
  For
• 9:12
  example,
• 9:12
  maybe
• 9:13
  one
• 9:13
  of
• 9:13
  your
• 9:13
  whys
• 9:14
  is
• 9:14
  you
• 9:14
  want
• 9:14
  to
• 9:14
  free
• 9:14
  up
• 9:15
  to
• 9:15
  support
• 9:15
  missions.
• 9:16
  Well,
• 9:17
  maybe
• 9:17
  one
• 9:17
  of
• 9:17
  your
• 9:17
  financial
• 9:18
  goals
• 9:18
  needs
• 9:18
  to
• 9:18
  be
• 9:18
  pay
• 9:19
  down
• 9:19
  that
• 9:19
  debt
• 9:20
  so
• 9:20
  you
• 9:20
  don't
• 9:20
  have
• 9:20
  that
• 9:20
  burden,
• 9:21
  that
• 9:21
  slave
• 9:21
  of
• 9:22
  being
• 9:22
  the
• 9:22
  borrower.
• 9:23
  As
• 9:23
  I
• 9:23
  talked
• 9:23
  about
• 9:23
  in
• 9:23
  the
• 9:24
  scripture
• 9:24
  today,
• 9:25
  maybe
• 9:25
  it's
• 9:25
  savings.
• 9:26
  If
• 9:27
  you
• 9:27
  save,
• 9:27
  maybe
• 9:27
  it'll
• 9:28
  enable
• 9:28
  you
• 9:28
  to
• 9:28
  host
• 9:29
  other
• 9:29
  families
• 9:30
  in
• 9:30
  need.
• 9:30
  I've
• 9:30
  got
• 9:30
  some
• 9:31
  great
• 9:31
  people
• 9:31
  in
• 9:31
  my
• 9:31
  own
• 9:32
  church
• 9:32
  who
• 9:32
  host
• 9:33
  people
• 9:33
  in
• 9:33
  need.
• 9:34
  So
• 9:34
  link
• 9:35
  it
• 9:35
  to
• 9:35
  that
• 9:35
  goal.
• 9:36
  And
• 9:36
  when
• 9:37
  you
• 9:37
  do
• 9:37
  these
• 9:37
  things,
• 9:37
  when
• 9:38
  you
• 9:38
  truly
• 9:38
  start
• 9:38
  to
• 9:38
  seek
• 9:39
  after
• 9:39
  that
• 9:40
  financial
• 9:40
  confidence
• 9:41
  that
• 9:41
  Christ
• 9:41
  wants
• 9:42
  you
• 9:42
  to
• 9:42
  have,
• 9:42
  it
• 9:42
  removes
• 9:43
  that
• 9:43
  guilt.
• 9:43
  You
• 9:43
  don't
• 9:44
  feel
• 9:44
  like
• 9:44
  you're
• 9:44
  chasing
• 9:45
  after
• 9:45
  something
• 9:45
  you
• 9:45
  shouldn't
• 9:46
  chase
• 9:46
  after
• 9:46
  anymore.
• 9:47
  And
• 9:48
  let
• 9:48
  me
• 9:48
  tell
• 9:48
  you
• 9:48
  right
• 9:48
  now,
• 9:48
  when
• 9:49
  you
• 9:49
  really
• 9:49
  lock
• 9:49
  into
• 9:50
  this,
• 9:50
  it
• 9:51
  provides
• 9:51
  you
• 9:51
  with
• 9:51
  motivation
• 9:52
  that
• 9:52
  you
• 9:52
  can
• 9:53
  never
• 9:53
  even
• 9:53
  imagine.
• 9:54
  And
• 9:54
  it
• 9:55
  transforms
• 9:55
  that
• 9:55
  Stewardship.
• 9:56
  We
• 9:56
  talk
• 9:56
  on
• 9:56
  the
• 9:56
  show
• 9:57
  all
• 9:57
  the
• 9:57
  time
• 9:57
  about
• 9:57
  stewardship,
• 9:59
  but
• 9:59
  what
• 9:59
  it
• 9:59
  really
• 9:59
  is
• 10:00
  is
• 10:00
  that
• 10:01
  stewardship
• 10:01
  becomes
• 10:02
  worship.
• 10:03
  And
• 10:03
  that's
• 10:03
  the
• 10:03
  whole
• 10:04
  goal.
• 10:04
  We
• 10:04
  want
• 10:04
  to
• 10:04
  worship
• 10:05
  a
• 10:05
  Lord
• 10:05
  that
• 10:05
  gives
• 10:06
  to
• 10:06
  us,
• 10:06
  to
• 10:06
  helps
• 10:07
  us
• 10:07
  to
• 10:07
  really
• 10:08
  wants
• 10:08
  us
• 10:08
  to
• 10:08
  be
• 10:09
  those
• 10:09
  financially
• 10:10
  confident
• 10:10
  Christians.
• 10:11
  Why
• 10:11
  don't
• 10:12
  we
• 10:12
  pray
• 10:12
  together
• 10:12
  now,
• 10:13
  Father
• 10:13
  God,
• 10:13
  we
• 10:14
  just
• 10:14
  thank
• 10:14
  you
• 10:14
  for
• 10:14
  entrusting
• 10:15
  us
• 10:15
  with
• 10:15
  resources.
• 10:17
  And
• 10:17
  Lord,
• 10:17
  we
• 10:17
  have
• 10:17
  to
• 10:17
  confess
• 10:18
  that
• 10:18
  sometimes
• 10:18
  we
• 10:18
  see
• 10:19
  financial
• 10:19
  confidence
• 10:20
  as
• 10:20
  selfish
• 10:20
  or
• 10:21
  we
• 10:21
  see
• 10:21
  it
• 10:21
  as
• 10:21
  worldly.
• 10:22
  But
• 10:23
  your
• 10:23
  word
• 10:23
  shows
• 10:23
  us
• 10:24
  that
• 10:24
  your
• 10:24
  desire
• 10:25
  is
• 10:25
  freedom
• 10:25
  for
• 10:26
  us,
• 10:26
  Lord,
• 10:26
  so
• 10:27
  we
• 10:27
  can
• 10:27
  serve
• 10:27
  you
• 10:27
  fully
• 10:28
  and
• 10:28
  give
• 10:28
  generously
• 10:29
  and
• 10:29
  do
• 10:29
  all
• 10:29
  the
• 10:29
  things
• 10:29
  that
• 10:29
  you
• 10:30
  want
• 10:30
  as
• 10:30
  our
• 10:31
  part
• 10:31
  of
• 10:31
  our
• 10:31
  why
• 10:31
  our
• 10:32
  kingdom?
• 10:32
  Why,
• 10:32
  Lord?
• 10:33
  So,
• 10:33
  Lord,
• 10:33
  right
• 10:34
  now
• 10:34
  we
• 10:34
  ask
• 10:34
  that
• 10:34
  you
• 10:35
  would
• 10:35
  align
• 10:35
  our
• 10:35
  hearts
• 10:36
  with
• 10:36
  your
• 10:36
  purpose.
• 10:37
  Transform
• 10:38
  our
• 10:38
  financial
• 10:38
  goals
• 10:39
  into
• 10:39
  those
• 10:39
  kingdom
• 10:40
  goals.
• 10:41
  Help
• 10:41
  us
• 10:41
  to
• 10:41
  see

• 10:42
  a
• 10:42
  tool
• 10:42
  for
• 10:42
  worship,
• 10:43
  not
• 10:43
  a

  source

  of

  not

  of

  something
• 10:45
  we

  should
• 10:46
  feel
• 10:46
  ugly
• 10:46
  or
• 10:47
  dirty
• 10:47
  about.
• 10:48
  And
• 10:48
  may
• 10:48
  our
• 10:49
  confidence
• 10:49
  bring
• 10:49
  you

  glory

  and

  through

  our
• 10:52
  lives,
• 10:52
  Lord.
• 10:53
  And
• 10:53
  we
• 10:53
  ask
• 10:53
  this
• 10:53
  in
• 10:53
  ultimate
• 10:54
  confidence
• 10:54
  in
• 10:54
  the
• 10:55
  name
• 10:55
  of
• 10:55
  Jesus,
• 10:56
  Amen.
• 10:57
  God
• 10:58
  desires
• 10:58
  your
• 10:59
  confidence,
• 11:00
  not
• 11:00
  your
• 11:00
  comfort.
• 11:00
  A
• 11:01
  lot
• 11:01
  of
• 11:01
  people
• 11:01
  get
• 11:01
  hump
• 11:01
  on
• 11:02
  that.
• 11:02
  It's
• 11:02
  not
• 11:02
  talking
• 11:03
  about
• 11:03
  comfort.
• 11:03
  I'm
• 11:03
  not
• 11:04
  one
• 11:04
  of
• 11:04
  those
• 11:04
  prosperity
• 11:05
  preaching
• 11:05
  knuckleheads.
• 11:06
  He
• 11:07
  desires
• 11:07
  your
• 11:07
  confidence,
• 11:09
  but
• 11:09
  for
• 11:09
  his
• 11:09
  kingdom,
• 11:10
  not
• 11:11
  for
• 11:11
  your
• 11:11
  own
• 11:11
  comfort.
• 11:12
  So
• 11:12
  I
• 11:13
  encourage
• 11:13
  you
• 11:13
  again,
• 11:13
  define
• 11:14
  your
• 11:14
  kingdom.
• 11:14
  Why
• 11:15
  today?
• 11:15
  Really
• 11:15
  think
• 11:15
  about
• 11:16
  that
• 11:16
  as
• 11:16
  you
• 11:16
  go
• 11:16
  about
• 11:16
  your
• 11:17
  day
• 11:17
  and
• 11:17
  connect
• 11:18
  it
• 11:18
  to
• 11:18
  a
• 11:18
  financial
• 11:19
  goal.
• 11:20
  Because
• 11:20
  when
• 11:20
  your
• 11:20
  money
• 11:21
  serves
• 11:21
  God's
• 11:21
  mission,
• 11:22
  I'm
• 11:22
  going
• 11:22
  to
• 11:22
  tell
• 11:22
  you
• 11:22
  right
• 11:23
  now,
• 11:23
  guilt
• 11:23
  fades
• 11:24
  away
• 11:24
  and
• 11:24
  purpose
• 11:25
  rises.
• 11:25
  I
• 11:26
  saw
• 11:26
  this
• 11:26
  quote
• 11:26
  from
• 11:27
  Randy
• 11:27
  Alcorn.
• 11:28
  He
• 11:28
  wrote
• 11:28
  this
• 11:28
  book
• 11:28
  called
• 11:29
  the
• 11:29
  Treasure
• 11:29
  Principle.
• 11:30
  And
• 11:30
  it
• 11:30
  said
• 11:31
  this.
• 11:31
  It
• 11:31
  says,
• 11:31
  God
• 11:32
  prospers
• 11:32
  me
• 11:32
  not
• 11:33
  to
• 11:33
  raise
• 11:33
  my
• 11:33
  standard
• 11:34
  of
• 11:34
  living,
• 11:35
  but
• 11:35
  to
• 11:35
  raise
• 11:36
  my
• 11:36
  standard
• 11:37
  of
• 11:37
  giving.
• 11:38
  And
• 11:38
  I
• 11:38
  think
• 11:38
  we
• 11:38
  can
• 11:38
  all
• 11:38
  learn
• 11:39
  from
• 11:39
  that.
• 11:40
  And
• 11:40
  as
• 11:40
  I'm
• 11:40
  talking
• 11:41
  right
• 11:41
  now,
• 11:41
  if

  encouraged
• 11:43
  you,
• 11:43
  if
• 11:43
  you

• 11:44
  feel

• 11:44

• 11:45
  this,
• 11:45

• 11:49
  who's
• 11:49
  wrestled
• 11:49
  with
• 11:50
  this
• 11:50
  tension
• 11:50
  themselves
• 11:51
  between
• 11:51
  that
• 11:51
  faith
• 11:52
  and
• 11:52
  finance
• 11:53

  Show
