Before the Lord and Men
from Finances on SermonAudio Hosted by David Green
This sermon explores the theological and practical implications of handling church finances with integrity, emphasizing that God's grace creates willing servants rather than coerced workers. The central message argues that Christian conduct must be honorable not only in the sight of God but also in the eyes of men, ensuring that the name of Christ is never discredited by human failure or suspicion. By examining Paul's careful selection of trustworthy men to transport the offering, the text highlights the importance of transparency, accountability, and congregational partnership in protecting the church's witness. The preacher urges believers to view their service as a reflection of Christ's glory, where love is proven through visible actions and financial stewardship is conducted with such openness that it withstands public scrutiny. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a balance where the primary focus remains on God's judgment, while still respecting the need to present a credible testimony to the world.
