On Sunday, Pete James continued our series "Seize the Day" by looking at the question: "is your money helping grow the kingdom of God?". Speaking from the parable of the Rich Fool in Luke 12, Pete highlights how significant a discipleship issue money is because of its destructive power but also its creative potential. He speaks about how giving can limit the former and release the latter and calls us into the New Testament vision of being "stewards" (oikonomia) of the money that flows to us that it might flow through us and bless the community around us.

In the heat of the battle Moses adopts a posture of prayer and surrender to direct the Israelite’s attention onto God, his banner.
