Spending Money Like This World is Not Our Home

07/03/24 • 44 min

As followers of Jesus, we often say that this world is not our home, but is that reflected in the way we view our money? Do we spend our resources on that which will matter for eternity, or are we primarily focused on temporary comforts and pleasures? In this message from David Platt, we’ll learn from the book of Proverbs a wise approach to money, an approach that helps us flourish under God’s design. Neither guilt nor greed should motivate us, for the gospel frees us to use our possessions to store up eternal treasure.

I Am the Vine

To people who like to think of themselves as independent and self-sufficient, Jesus’ words, “I am the vine,” can be humbling. Apart from Jesus, we can do nothing. But for those who are trusting in Jesus, abundant, supernatural life is available! Jesus wants to produce his life and fruit through us, his branches. In this message from John 15:1–11 from David Platt, we are encouraged to come to Jesus continually so that he might bear fruit in and through our lives for the glory of God.
(This message was given at The Gospel Coalition Women’s Conference 2024.)

Flourishing In Our Work

How would you describe your work? Boring? Frustrating? All-consuming? If we’re honest, many of us can find our work to be discouraging, even if we’re doing something that we generally like. However, in this message from the book of Proverbs, David Platt reminds us of God’s original purpose in our work, as well as the motivation that knowing Christ should give us. While the effects of sin in the world often make our work feel frustrating rather than satisfying, those who are trusting in Christ can work diligently knowing that, regardless of what they do, they are serving Christ and being empowered by his Spirit.
