When someone says to give to God, that feels like an impossible ask. In the Bible, we see how God outlined a plan to enrich your life by following his steps to honor him with your finances. Giving to God means giving your first and best to him.
The more you try to control things, the more complicated everything becomes. God doesn’t want you carrying the stress and anxiety of a complicated life. He wants to help you, he wants to take care of you. He wants you to trust and rest in him.
The moment we start helping God plot, plan, or grind to get someplace in life is the moment we over-extend ourselves through striving. The best thing we can do is lean on God—that he has this all worked out, and all he wants us to do is trust.
We need money for so much, and it’s easy to let it control our lives. But God has a plan and value for generosity in your life that allows you to experience freedom from the negative effects money can have on your life and relationships.
When it comes to giving and receiving, we usually only think of ourselves. But Jesus told us that since we’ve freely received, we should freely give. Here are three questions you can ask yourself to better serve and love people in your world.

When you're young it's difficult to see beyond the moment. And by the time you're older, it's easy to feel like dreams aren’t worthwhile. Whether you're young or old God wants to give you both visions and dreams he promises to fulfill.
At one point, you’ve probably had a dream die. That can feel more painful when you spend effort towards a dream. But through Jesus’ story we can see that there are dreams he wants to help keep alive—promises you can always hold on to, no matter what.
Life often seems to want to crush the dreams within you. It's easy to get a little disheartened or pessimistic to carry on holding those dreams. But God wants you to dream, he wants to sustain and bring life to the dreams of all the great things he's promised you.
Do you ever feel like you can’t catch a break? When life gets rough, even the good in life can be difficult to see. Jesus wants to help you see a bigger perspective full of hope and joy. With Jesus, you can get past what you’re going through right now.
What are you focused on in your life? Are there anxieties, fears, and problems distracting you or do you have hope and positive expectations? In this message, you’ll be inspired to dream again to see the opportunities even amongst difficulties.
You may see Christmas lights and only perceive nice decorations. But the lights on display represent much more than that — a true Light for the world who wants to be with you and light up the darkness so you can be your true self.
Do you trust what God wants for your life? Do you believe he has something good for you? We may send him our wish list with all our wants and needs, but he wants us to trust that he has far better planned for us.
Oftentimes, you end up knowing what you really want because you’ve settled for what you thought you wanted, leaving you feeling empty and hollow. But when you can trust God and learn new ways to be thankful he will help you break that trend.
Are you looking for some connection or understanding with God? It’s easy to doubt yourself or constantly wonder if you’re on the right path. Jesus wants to encourage and affirm you in your journey as you focus on the Fruit of the Spirit.
Off the top of your head, you can probably think of at least one or two people who are difficult to love. So, what are we to do with the request to ‘love one another’ that Jesus gives us?
On his final night, Jesus’ disciples couldn’t grasp why Jesus would leave them. But Jesus knew what God had planned, and he promised his followers that a gift would come to them that was more valuable than if he’d stayed with them.
It sometimes may seem like God is distant. Or, do you feel like something you’ve done or said has pushed him away? He’s a Father who will always seek you, a Spirit who will always stay with you, and a brother who will always stand in for you.
There's something significant about last words and moments. Jesus knew his death was coming and he spent his final night with his closest followers, sharing his most important wisdom and then, to their surprise, serving them by washing their feet.
Often, people think communities like Churchome are just trying to create content and get a lot of likes and a lot of views. But no, we're passionate about people understanding that God is sending you with a purpose and a plan in your life.
On some level, every one of us experiences pain, difficulty, and challenges in life. In light of that experience, Jesus wants to provide a vision and hope beyond them. He wants to give you an expectation of hope in your future.
It’s easy to think that you have to do something special or achieve something great to get God’s attention. But the reality is, he’s already pursuing you. Your proximity to God isn’t based on your effort but on his love for you.
It’s been said that you get out of life what you put into it. But is this grind culture the best path for life? When you focus on utilizing the fruit of the spirit over physical accomplishments is where you’ll find God wants to meet you every day.
When you find yourself uncomfortable, you may try to fix yourself. But that doesn’t always work. God wants you to remember where and when he showed up and provided for you. He can turn the page on your challenges to give you hope for your future.
Do you have a big decision that you may be overthinking? It’s an easy trap to fall in, but you don’t need to put that pressure on yourself. In this message, we’ll see how centering those decisions on God can lead to freedom and fulfillment.
One thing you can’t control is time. You can't tell it to stop. You can't tell it to fast forward. You can't tell it to rewind. God won’t ask you to manage your time, God just asks you to steward it so he can help you make the most of it.
Are you prepared for God to forgive your enemies? Even as God makes a way to forgive you, he also wants to forgive your enemies. The people you despise, people maybe who hurt you the worst. God desires to forgive those people too.
Everywhere you look today, you’ll find politicians, nations, or groups fighting for control and power, money, or prestige. But Jesus introduces us to a new way to be human, a better way to live that brings love, hope, and healing to our world.
What does God mean when he says he’s close to you? And his nearness isn’t determined by your behavior. Through every moment, whether you’re winning or failing, doing good or doing bad, God wants you to know he’s with you.
What you decide to emphasize in your life has a significant impact on the life that you will live. There will always be bad news, challenges, and pain, but Jesus’ love for you is the best emphasis you can focus on in your life.
