In the conclusion to our series on stewardship, Roger Morris teaches that giving is an investment into your future, not something that "leaves" you, and challenges the "old sinner saved by grace" identity by emphasizing believers are the righteousness of God in Christ. He warns that a spirit of mammon keeps Christians from trusting God's Word, pointing to Luke 6:38 and the principle that you set the measure of return in your sowing.

 

Using Mark 10's rich young ruler, Roger explains the issue isn't having riches but trusting in them, and highlights Jesus' promise of a hundredfold return for those who leave and give for the gospel. He shares a personal testimony of giving $500 toward an ORU dorm project and later seeing God provide college scholarships for his sons. He notes research that many Christians cut giving during the 2008 recession, calls that a mistake, connects Philippians 4:19 to being a giver, then leads you in a prayer to receive Christ as your Lord and Savior.
