I Wish I Would’ve Put God First with Guest Speaker, Pastor Herbert Cooper

Song of Solomon 8:6 (NLT): Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm.  Song of Solomon 8:6 (NIV): It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.  Song of Solomon 8:7 (NLT): Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away.  Philippians 4:8 (NLT): Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

Generosity gives you everything that money promises you. When you open your hand, God fills your life

How can you dial down the stress in your life? Be a steward who manages God’s blessing through the seasons. Build up your savings, bring down your stress.

You can either look at your hardships and say why me? Or you can look at your Good God and say why not me? Why not bless me? Why not help me? Why not change me? Why not recession-proof my life? Your life can change when you ask God, Why Not Me? Believe financial peace is possible.

I know life is scary. The job market is scary. Money makes so many of us feel like failures or that there is no hope or way out. Acknowledge it’s All God’s. Don’t stop Believing. The best way to get ahead is to put God first.

God never under-promises. He makes promises that He means to keep. And He makes big promises. And He always over-delivers. At least compared to what we have in our head that He can do or who we can become. He over-delivers on His promise to us.

This Christmas, as we reflect, remember Christmas means God is for us and with us no matter what’s against us. Jesus was born to save us from our sins. And that is the greatest gift ever given.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
