The Eternal Portfolio | Pastor Chris Chadwick | 2 Corinthians 9:1-15

In a world of volatile markets and uncertain financial futures, where safe investments like Enron or GT Advanced Technologies can collapse overnight, where is the safest place to put your treasure? In this challenging message for Missions Sunday, Pastor Chris Chadwick presents the case for an "Eternal Portfolio" found in 2 Corinthians 9. Through faithful expositional preaching, we explore the biblical principles of stewardship, the necessity of organized giving for global evangelism, and the spiritual law of sowing and reaping. Discover how God uses the generosity of His people to supply the needs of the saints and how a life of cheerful, sacrificial giving leads to an abundance of thanksgiving to God.Chapters: 0:00:00 - Introduction: Why the Bible Talks About Money0:03:00 - Bad Investments: The Collapse of Enron and GTAT0:08:00 - The Context of Corinth: A Wealthy but Wicked City0:12:15 - A Desire to Give: How Believers Provoke One Another0:15:30 - Personal Testimony: A Lifetime of Faithful Tithing0:21:00 - The Need for Organization in Missions Giving0:25:00 - The Law of Sowing and Reaping0:30:30 - God Loves a Cheerful Giver0:34:00 - Trusting God's Provision When We Sacrifice0:39:20 - A Personal Illustration: Sacrificing a Fountain Pen0:44:30 - The Gospel and Giving Are Inseparably Linked0:48:40 - The Story of C.T.
