I Love Weddings

Wedding_1_2I'm happy to announce that Lindsey Gibbs is now Lindsey Hawthorne.  I preformed Kevin and Lindsey's ceremony today.  I love to see a couple do it God's way.  They actually did the premarital counseling and even did extra work and have decided to continue a disciple of study.   

The reason I love wedding is because I just don't do any wedding.  For me to preform the ceremony the couple has to make a commitment to God and each other.  I interview them before I will even consider conducting the ceremony.

I want to help you love weddings.  Please download my marriage prerequisites and a sample wedding ceremony.

Money, Money, Money

I've gotten several requests for resources on tithing.  Yes, I blogged it, the T word.  Tithing should be a part of your ministries DNA just like purity, or prayer.  You cannot disconnect faith and finances.  If it is not in the rhythm of your teaching I encourage you to strike the down beat.  I know there are hundreds of resources out there but I'm going to list a few that will get you started.   

  • The Bible - Seriously, just teach it.  The saying of Jesus would be a great start.  Jesus talks about possessions 15 times more than heaven. 
  • LO$T Message Kit - Another creative resource from Northpoint Ministries.  Andy Stanley is a genius at taking the Bible and disarming people.  You could start this series in conjunction with the fall series of TV Lost. 
  • Maximum Generosity - Old school, traditional but incredible information and statistics. 
  • Sermon Spice - Short videos that visual communicate the biblical principles.  Type tithing in the search engine. 
  • Gerald Gillespie - A friend that heads up our Crown Ministry here at Mud Creek.  Gerald is a great resource and is networked to give advice and support. 

What does your ministry use to teach about money, money, money?
