Words of the Master

We have a subconscious tendency to separate the Jesus of the Gospels from the God of the Old Testament. It’s true that Jesus came to establish a new covenant that has forever changed our fellowship with God, but we must not forget that the character of Jesus is the very same character of God throughout eternity. In the last two episodes, we focused on Old Testament teachings regarding the poor, in this episode we examine the words of Jesus on the subject. 

We continue our journey through the Old Testament seeking financial guidance from the Bible. In this episode, we focus specifically on one of the most celebrated books in the Bible - the Book of Proverbs. What does the Book of Wisdom have to say about how we should use our money. Is it all about saving for the future and being debt free or does another surprising theme take the spot light? 

Do you want God's Blessing or Discipline? What does the Bible really say about helping the poor and having compassion for those beyond our borders? What are God's commands on this topic? Should this be a foot note or the primary mission of the Church? These questions are examined starting in the Old Testament in Episode 4 of the Rich Church Poor World Podcast.

Why did God choose to have you born in America when you could have just as easily been born somewhere else? This and other questions are explored in Episode 3 of the Rich Church Poor World Podcast.

Stewardship is a popular topic in Church circles, but are we truly taking stewardship seriously when it comes our financial resources? This question is explored in episode 2 of the Rich Church Poor World Podcast. 

What does it mean to truly know God? What does God want from His Church? Where are the resources of the American Church focused? These questions and more are discussed in episode one of the Rich Church Poor World Podcast.
