Selfless Church | A Heavenly Vision for Life on Earth | Dr. David J. Finklea

The American Empire vs. the Kingdom of God | Who Really Controls Your Money? We live in one of the wealthiest nations in the world, yet millions struggle to meet their basic needs. What does this reveal about our relationship with money, and how does it compare to God's vision for His Kingdom? In this powerful message, we examine what Scripture teaches about wealth, materialism, economic justice, and generosity. From the laws of Moses and the warnings of the prophets to the teachings of Jesus, we discover that God never intended wealth to become an instrument of oppression or an object of worship, but a resource for advancing His purposes. Jesus declared in Matthew 6:24, “You cannot serve both God and money.” In this sermon, we explore: Why money must never become our master. How materialism distorts our identity, priorities, and relationship with God. God's concern for justice, equity, and the needs of the vulnerable. Why financial prosperity is not proof of spiritual prosperity. How prioritizing God's Kingdom transforms our relationship with money. Three biblical principles for living a generous life. The central message: When God's Kingdom becomes our priority, money finds its proper place. Join us as we challenge the gospel of materialism and rediscover what it means to seek first the Kingdom of God. 📖 Key Scriptures: Matthew 6:19–34; Deuteronomy 15:1–11; Luke 12:13–15; Luke 16:19–25; 2 Corinthians 8:10–15; 1 Timothy 6:6–10.
