We Love You More Than Your Money

A Jesus Christ Church - Not A Money First Church

We care more about Spreading His Love than taking your money. See the light Love can shine on the world as we putHis Love in Action.

We are different from Most “churches” because Most “churches” are about: $MONEY$

Many churches speak more about giving than about repentance, obedience, and transformed lives. When money becomes the loudest message, people notice.

Too often, faith has been mixed with ego, status, and comfort. A little charity is displayed, but the greater focus appears to be image, influence, and lifestyle.

And when people see greed wrapped in religious language, they do not just walk away from leaders, they walk away from the Lord.

That damage is real.

But greed does not define Christ. Ego does not define the Gospel. And corruption does not cancel truth.

We are not here to build luxury. We are here to build lives rooted in Him.

Those false prophets, those wolves that preach in those "churches," do not roam in this church. If they serve money, they cannot serve Him.

Matthew 6:24.

24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

Matthew 7:15. Words Spoken by Our Lord Jesus Christ.

“Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.”

These wolves are not only leading the people in their “churches” into darkness but staining the word Christian as they do it

Acts 20:29-30.

“29 I know that false teachers, like vicious wolves, will come in among you after I leave, not sparing the flock. 30 Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following.”

There Is Another Way: “The Way”— Our Way, Which Is His Way.

We are a Church that will not pass a basket or soften the truth to make you comfortable enough to give more.

We care more about spreading His love than collecting your money.

We care more about you having a real, committed relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ than anything you could offer us.

Why? Because your best life, and eternal life, are found in knowing and loving Him.

He sent us to remind you that He loves you.

Now let us go reach the rest of our brothers and sisters.

1 John 3:23.

“And This Is His Commandment: That We Should Believe On The Name Of His Son Jesus Christ And Love One Another, As He Gave Us Commandment.”

The Commandment

Jesus gave us a command: Believe in His Son Jesus Christ and love each other.

The Challenge / Action

As a servant of God, I ask you to do something different today.

Instead of giving your usual offering here, use it to help someone in need. If you are willing to show love, keep your offering and use it to help others directly.

Instead of putting your offering in a basket, give it directly to someone who needs it, in the way they need it most. Be quick to help, get to know them, and let them see Jesus in your actions. You may not realize it now, but you are important and valuable. Don’t believe the lies that say you aren’t good enough. Everything works for God’s purpose, even when we don’t understand it yet.

Share His Love wherever you go, because true faith in Jesus Pushes You to, you have no choice, and you risk torment when you deny the Spirit trying to grow inside of you. His Spirit forces us to Love, not blindly, be shrewd with your Love, but through the Spirit leading you Shine His Love upon the world to evangelize for the Kingdom and to help the brothers and sister of the Kingdom. People should see God through you.

Love each other, and love strangers, just like you would want to be loved if you were in their situation- If you are led by the spirit to Love. How do you know the spirit is leading you? Because you feel like doing something or helping when that is not your norm, or the feeling will be overwhelming that you must help.

You don’t have to look far to find people who need help, hope, and God.

Share God’s love in the strongest way—not just by talking about Him, but by living like Him.

The tithe was never meant to be the total measure of devotion to the Lord. Under the Law given to Israel, the tithe was commanded, but it was not the only form of giving. There were offerings, sacrifices, and what Scripture calls freewill offerings, gifts given because the heart desired to give.

Under Christ, giving is not about meeting a minimum. It is about a transformed heart.

In Deuteronomy, the Old Testament speaks of freewill offerings, gifts brought not merely out of obligation, but out of devotion. The principle is clear. Anyone can do what is required. What we do freely reveals what is in our hearts.

In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul teaches the same spirit of giving. In 2 Corinthians 9:6–9, he writes that whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will reap bountifully. He makes it clear that each person must give as they purpose in their heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

This is not about buying blessings. It is about trust.

Paul explains that God enriches us in every way for generosity. The Lord provides so that we may continue to give, continue to serve, and continue to advance His work. The blessing is not luxury or wealth or building your financial position, but to whom much is given much is asked. We are given more to be able to serve more.

The blessings are participation in His Kingdom, not for fleshly prosperity.

We do not manipulate. We do not pressure. We do not promise financial return.

We simply teach what Scripture teaches. Give from your heart. Give with joy. Give because you love the Lord.

At the same time, a Church must function. The Gospel must be preached. The work must be funded. Those who are able, especially those who have been blessed with much, should prayerfully consider supporting the mission so that we can continue to reach others.

I do my part (I take no salary from this church.) Each of us must do ours.

Not out of compulsion. Out of love. God’s Love and peace be with you.
