Preaching with a rolex watch and tons of diamonds worth thousands of dollars was somewhat interesting. Not that there is something bad about having things, that by themselves are worth about what a car cost, it is not just my style. By the way, I have to make sure that I send out a proper “thank you” to our consigliere, you know who you are……..thank so so much for hooking me up!
Anyways, we talked about pressure and by the result of the message I now know that just about everyone in our church is facing some kind of pressure. It is great to know that we hit a nerve and finished the “Rock” series with this message.
As I said on Sunday, a diamond is the result of a piece of rock with carbon in it that has been under intense pressure. Never forget that.
A diamond is the result of a piece of rock with carbon in it that has been under intense pressure AND HEAT.
Because we in the church have such an emphasis today with wealth, success and properity, and the teaching on these things are not always balanced, I like to balance it out by saying what we need in the church is, WEALTH with WISDOM and PROSPERITY with a PURPOSE.
