LO$T
On the hit TV series, the characters survived a plane crash only to find themselves stuck on a mysterious island, searching for clues as to where they are and how to get home.

In real life, many of us find ourselves in a similar situation with our finances. We’ve crashed and are looking for rescue. We’re stuck and aren’t sure how to get free. How do we get from where we are to where we want to be? How do we get financially free?

For the month of November, we’re discovering clues in the ancient wisdom of Scripture that are surprisingly relevant to our modern-day money problems. From avoiding and escaping from debt to the financial habits that set you free, we’re finding that God might actually be able to help…

Special transmission to those skeptical of church:

No one will be asking for your money. No offering plates will be passed. At all. This is not a fundraiser for the church. We just have some good news that will help you in your real life, and we'd like to share it with you.

End of transmission.

Facing Failure

Oct 25, 2007   //   by rich   //   messages series  //  Comments Off on Facing Failure

None of us like to experience failure. Marriage failure, financial failure, moral failure, or car failure — failure is never fun!

So what do we do with the big “F” in red ink at the top of our paper? How do we face failure, and where do we go from here?

Join us as we hit failure head-on:

Oct. 14: Risking Failure
Oct. 21: Learning from Failure
Oct. 28: The Ultimate Failure

Coming in November: Lo$t
