"Investing Is an Act of Worship"

What if your bank statement could tell the story of your faith? In a powerful sermon on investing as worship, Pastor Pencil explores King David's prayer in 1 Chronicles 29, revealing how our financial choices reflect our deepest spiritual priorities. Drawing a compelling contrast between "hippo consumers" who only take and "honeybee stewards" who contribute to God's kingdom, Pencil challenges us to examine whether we're using money as an instrument of worship or making it an object of worship. He emphasizes that everything belongs to God, and true freedom comes when we align our time, talents, and treasures with His purposes. Through vivid illustrations from nature and scripture, Pencil demonstrates that investing in eternity isn't about what God wants from us, but what He wants for us. The message culminates in a practical call to action, urging listeners to evaluate their spending patterns, complete a spiritual gifts survey, and begin "pollinating" God's kingdom today rather than merely consuming resources.
