A great series by Andy Stanley

Andy Stanley delivered a series of messages at his church a couple of
months ago that I found to be some of the most helpful that I've heard
in a long time. The series is called "How to BE rich". He makes a
destinction between "getting" rich and "being" rich. He shares a
passage of scripture where the Apostle Paul informs Timothy on how to
instruct those believers who have been blessed with riches.
We too in America have truly been blessed with more than we need.
This should not cause us to feel guilty but grateful. Our gratitude
should then lead us to be more responsible as we are some of the
richest people on the planet. Our goal is to learn to balance and
enjoy what God has blessed us with while we endevor to be a blessing
to others. I look forward to redelivering these messages to our people at Virginia Hills. Most of time when I use the thoughts and material of other pastors by the time I finish my own study and then personalizing those thoughts for our own folks my messages look nothing like the original body of work. However Andy's series on "How to be rich" is so well developed and universal in application I'm looking forward to simply repeating what he has said. I trust that this series will help us to realign our faith with our finances.

PS. If you enjoy listening to our messages online I would suggest you check out this particular series from Andy Stanley's web site. You will really enjoy their sermon library and Andy is a true artist at delivering a message.
