Why Give? - North Oak

Money and our relationship with money often keep us from the life we want. Some of us look to money for security, others for power, and others for freedom or independence. In this sermon, we will look at the Rich Young Ruler and how he was held back from following Jesus because of his commitment to money. While Zacchaeus, a known swindler, had his life changed and experienced new life through his generosity. What role does money play in our lives, and how are we substituting money for God's love and presence?
