Money, Sacrifice, and the Heart of Giving

  This Week on the Podcast: Let’s talk about the topic nobody really wants to talk about… money. (Don’t worry—it’s not what you think.) In this episode, Jeff, Matt, and Joshua have an open and honest conversation about how Jesus talked about money—a lot more than we realize—and what that means for us today. From cultural discomfort to church baggage, we unpack why money is such a sensitive subject and how we can approach it with a fresh perspective grounded in trust, sacrifice, and discipleship. You’ll Hear Us Talk About: Why Jesus taught about money more than heaven and hell combined How NCC made a big shift—removing offering plates and trusting people’s hearts The difference between pressure and purpose when it comes to giving How sacrifice is more than 10%—it’s about surrender Moving from fear and “what ifs” to generosity and faith Why This Matters: This isn’t about a campaign or pushing for donations. It’s about getting back to Jesus’ heart and understanding that how we view and use our money says something about what (or who) we truly trust. And as we head into our next sermon series, The Way of Sacrifice, we want to have this conversation the way Jesus did—with truth, grace, and purpose. Scripture Highlight: “No one can serve two masters… You cannot serve both God and money.” – Matthew 6:24 Looking Ahead: Our upcoming sermon series will walk through the sacrificial life Jesus modeled—not just financially, but in how we live, love, and give of ourselves. Let’s grow together in this.
