The Big Mistake: Trusting Money

May 15, 2014
If someone were to offer you a million dollars right now, how would you feel? Most of us would probably be pretty excited, and we'd feel really hopeful - think of all the problems money could solve! But this kind of thinking shows just how much we put our trust in money. While money itself isn't a bad thing, how we make money an idol in our lives is. Jesus talked about money a lot because he knew it would be the biggest competitor for our hearts.

In this message, Pete warns us about the dangers that money can bring and shares with us Paul's advice to the wealthy church of Ephesus. Based on Luke 12 and Matthew 13:22, this is the 3rd teaching in Pete Briscoe's 6-message series, This Is Big.
