A few years ago there was a Lexus car commercial for that was built upon this one sentence: "Whoever said money can't buy happiness isn't spending it right." [Then a Lexus goes driving off into the sunset.] Do you agree or disagree? Not about whether or not a Lexus is a fun car to drive, but the statement. Is it true that money can bring happiness, if we just figure out how to spend it right? While you ponder, consider this, Jesus would agree with the statement. Surprised?
In Acts 20:35 we find this quotation of Jesus: "It is more
blessed to give than to receive." The
word blessed can also be understood
as happy. So to Jesus' point, a person is more
happy if they give stuff away, then to receive stuff. Is
this true? Take a quick test to find out. Think back to
Christmas. What did you enjoy more, opening gifts or watching
people open the gifts you gave them? The majority of people
find great joy in watching other people open the gifts we
give. So what that means is...Jesus is right! A person
can find happiness if they just learn how to spend and invest their
money well.
In this sermon you will discover that Jesus taught a Kingdom of
Heaven Investment Strategy that not only brings happiness now,
but also gains interest to be enjoyed into eternity! Do you
