Faith and finances have a troubled relationship in our society. Faith can be used as a platform for personal gain. So, some conclude that money and Christianity should be kept as far apart as possible - but it is not possible. Money is a reality of life. In today's message, Dr. John points to the Biblical pattern. Faith is a platform for help and healing to the hurts of this world, through the resources He grants us. Faith leads to generous hearts and grants us opportunity to serve His purposes. Jesus Goes Global: Confronting the Power Base: How did Christianity go from a localized faith in Jerusalem to become the dominant faith in all of Rome? In this series, Dr. John teaches from Acts 16-20 and demonstrates the progress of Christianity through Paul and his companions. Dr. John demonstrates that the truth of the gospel and the power of the Spirit, carried by frail but obedient people, could not be stopped. The lessons of those days become encouragement for ours.
