Using Acts 19 (Ephesus) and Luke's teaching, the sermon shows how the gospel reshapes social and economic life, diagnosing the heart issues behind financial behavior (fear, desire/lust, pride) and giving practical spiritual and tactical guidance for stewardship: start giving, prioritize generosity (give-save-spend), get counsel for debt, and remember that distrust of leaders doesn't excuse failing as stewards.

Pastor Chas Stephenson taught on the next major end-times event for the church: the rapture (the catching up of believers). He explained the biblical sequence (dead in Christ rise first; living believers are caught up), argued for a pre-tribulation view (the church is exempt from God’s coming wrath), urged urgent evangelism, and encouraged baptism and Spirit-filled living.
