What if the way we handle money is one of the clearest windows into the condition of our hearts? This sermon takes us on a journey through some of the most searching financial teachings in all of Scripture, and the destination might surprise us. We begin where many conversations about giving begin -- with the tithe -- but we do not stay there. The message pushes us toward a far more radical vision: the idea that in the new covenant, God is not asking for 10% of what we have. He is asking for 100%. That shift changes everything. When we understand that we are not owners but managers of what God has entrusted to us, every purchase, every financial decision, every moment of generosity or reluctance becomes a spiritual act. The parable of the talents reminds us that there will be an accounting, and that faithful stewardship now opens the door to greater responsibility later. Luke 16:10-13 anchors this truth powerfully, teaching us that faithfulness in small things is the training ground for faithfulness in much larger ones. We are left with a question worth sitting with: have we truly made God Lord over all of our lives, including every dollar?
