I am not a
person who cavalierly recommends things to others. I do so primarily with
books, and not even just good books. For me to recommend a book, it has to be a
great read. I may have recommended a terrific movie or two over the years. But
this may be the most excited I have been over suggesting something.
Dick and I
have just finished watching a 4-part sermon series called Unstrapped. The
preacher is a pastor from a large church in Omaha. Even though we have loved every one of his archived sermons, I wasn't sure I wanted to watch four about money. We almost chose not to delve into this series, but something in
our spirits compelled us to start the first sermon. And we were totally hooked.
We finished
the series in about 8 days (watching about a half hour a day) and the fourth sermon was as good as the other three. Friends, I urge everyone to listen to this
series. It is about so much more than money. It is about a new lifestyle choice, your heart, what you worship, your stewardship, obedience, tithing, the way you view your life, and blessing
yourself and others.
Dick and I
agree that we have NEVER heard a sermon about money like this one. Six decades,
and finally, a series of money sermons that felt like fresh oxygen. Each one touched us down
to the marrow. We could hardly stop watching the streamed video each night. Pastor Les is so easy
to listen to, so authentic, and yes, funny too.
If more believers
(and non-believers for that matter) could hear this, how different things might
be. We could see altered lives, and marriages coming together and restored
families. If these principles were taught in churches, we would have a revival
which could change the lives of many people in our fellowships, and by
extension, in the community.
Friends, I am inviting you to try
out the first sermon. If you don’t buy into it, don’t watch it. If you finish
it and felt as inspired as we were, share the series with others. Tell people
at your church about it.
Living the
unstrapped life matters. Check this link out and please let me know what you
thought.
