## Resource

January 4th, 2026 Pastor Chad McDonald Within discipleship settings, I have found that Christians are willing to talk about a wide variety of subjects. What is seldom discussed, however, is the blessing that is promised to those who have a gospel view of the use of their money. On that subject, there is normally silence. They say that it is the sign that a person has truly been converted when they begin to give away their money. It was certainly the sign that Christ gave for the changed heart of Zacchaeus. I believe it is no less true today. What lies behind such a change in our heart? What is it about the gospel that releases us from a bondage to money and to find contentment in Him? And more than this, what are the principles for viewing our money in a gospel way? Are there any laws or specific commands? We will dive into this incredibly significant area of life this weekend in our worship services. I pray you will make plans to join us. I promise that there will be no high-pressure tactics or manipulative efforts to coerce you into giving. My prayer is simply that God would work in all our hearts as we seek to view the resources that God has given us through the lens of His truth and the gospel. Let’s start the year off with a fresh commitment to attending church. As a fellow pastor, Dean Inserra, is well-known for saying, “The local church is the best thing going today!” I’ll see you this weekend. In Christ, Pastor Chad
