Finances — Messages From Vibrant Church

Money is not a side issue in Scripture and it is not a taboo one here. Jesus talked about it constantly, usually because of what it does to us rather than what it does for us.

These messages from Vibrant Church cover generosity, debt, anxiety about provision, and the pull that money exerts on a person’s decisions long before they notice it. We teach that giving is worship and not a transaction, that tithing is a matter of trust rather than a fee, and that a person can be financially successful and spiritually broke at the same time.
