About this Episode
Are you putting God first with your money, time, and priorities, or are you giving Him whatever is left over? The Bible teaches that putting God first means trusting Him with what matters most, even when sacrifice costs us something. Through Matthew 6:33, 2 Samuel 24:24, and 2 Corinthians 8, we learn how faith, generosity, and sacrifice can change the way we live and give. This message will challenge you to stop living only for yourself and start investing in something that will impact generations.
In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches “Skin in the Game,” from the Build My Church series, revealing four biblical principles for putting God first, giving sacrificially, and becoming part of God's mission to change lives.
In this sermon, you’ll learn:
How to put God first with your money, time, and priorities
Why God wants your first and not just your leftovers
What the Bible teaches about sacrifice that actually costs something
How to give by faith even when your finances feel limited
Why generosity is about more than money and starts with your heart
How your giving can help change lives and impact future generations
There's a difference between believing in something and being willing to sacrifice for it. God hasn't called us to simply watch what He's building. He's invited us to be part of it. Your sacrifice today could become someone else's miracle tomorrow. Don't just believe in the mission. Have skin in the game.
