Pastor Russ delivered the second sermon in a three-week series on "Affordability and Faithfulness," focusing on "Money Matters." He emphasized that God owns everything and we are merely stewards of His resources, addressing common roadblocks people have about giving and tithing. Pastor Russ outlined five key financial disciplines: get on a plan, dump debt, live on less than you make, be a super saver, and be a generous giver, encouraging the congregation to trust God with their finances and commit to faithful stewardship.
