North Point Ministries podcasts@northpoint.org http://www.northpoint.org/ 2007 North Point Ministries, Inc. LO$T Series: When it comes to finances, it is easy to be lost and not even know it. There are many ways we become financially lost-sometimes we start off with a bad map, or perhaps we take a wrong turn accidentally, or maybe we get distracted by something we think we need. Whatever the reason, once we realize we are lost, we wonder how we got lost, and wonder even more how we can find our way back. The task can be daunting, but the good news is that God has given us clear directions to guide the way. en-us Sun, 7 Jan 2007 22:51:00 EDT Mon, 14 Jul 2008 10:30:00 EDT podcasts@northpoint.org podcasts@northpoint.org Andy Stanley no Andy Stanley 37:38 In this series, we learned that it's easy to get lost financially. And we learned that we cannot be fully devoted followers of Christ and remain lost. In this final message, we learn how to transition to a lifestyle that will take us where God wants us to be financially--steps that, when applied in our lives, will provide us with more financial margin, bring contentment, strengthen our relationships, and expand God's kingdom.

Daily we are bombarded with messages that cause us to be dissatisfied with our current circumstances. We walk around with the gnawing sense that I need to upgrade everything, and the thing is that more money doesn't quench this hunger; it only causes it to grow. So what are we to do? Andy Stanley examines 1 Timothy 6 to uncover the answer to our predicament.

Why has God made you rich? If these questions elicit a laugh, don't move past them too fast. If you stop to think about it, most of us have way more than we need. By all accounts you have considerably more than most people in the world can lay claim to. So why you? Why do you have so much? Andy Stanley explores a parable of Jesus to see why God distributes wealth as He does and its implications for what God has given you.

What does He want us to do with it? Too often people jump to the conclusion that God simply wants them to give it all away. However, when you examine the words of Jesus, you find that nothing could be farther from the truth. A fresh look at a curious parable on money might surprise you and it just might change your whole perspective on finances.

You started out knowing where you were, but as you went further all of a sudden you came to the realization that you had lost your way. Today millions of people in America find themselves lost. They are lost financially. Could you be one of them? And how do you find your way once you realize where you are?

If ignored this deadliest of the creatures from within will only grow in power, lashing out at those who often least expect it. And the only way to get rid of this creature called anger is to follow some rather radical advice.

With many different faces its disguise is often difficult to see through. It sneaks up on its victims, and without them even realizing it ignites within them desires that cannot be satisfied. In this session, we'll take a closer look at this creature called greed and find the antidote for its attempts to lead your heart astray.

Rising up out of the shadows, its goal is to isolate you from others. And once it gets its fangs in you, it infects you with the thirst for what others have. When this creature called jealousy makes its home in your heart it even causes you to rejoice when others fail. In this message Andy Stanley reveals the truth about jealousy and how to combat this creature from within.

It lodges itself inside your heart and begins to infect all of your relationships. Carrying it with you wherever you go, this creature called guilt soon becomes a heavy burden. But what can you do? And how can you break its power over you? There is one way to gain freedom from the power of guilt, and the solution may surprise you.

A college student's grades drop and his attitude changes. A man's harmless pastime becomes a destructive habit. Each looks for someone else to blame. But the real enemy lurks within-in the heart. Not the organ that pumps blood through our veins, but that invisible, intangible place where we experience love, compassion, contempt, and jealousy.

Our responsibility is to discover that vision as it plays out in each of the key areas of our lives. The clearer our vision, the less confusion we will have when making decisions.

Scripture tells us what God is like and when we apply its principles what outcomes we can expect. And when we discover the ways of God, we discover the will of God.

God often speaks to us through other believers. This message gives us guidelines on how to choose the right people when we need to seek counsel from others.

The more familiar we become with His providential will, and the more obedient we are to His moral will, the easier it will be to determine His personal will for our lives.
