Parkway Hills Baptist Church Sermons

In this episode of the Resolved Podcast, we move from the theology of stewardship to the practical, everyday habits that help us manage God’s money with wisdom and intentionality. Scripture teaches that everything we have belongs to the Lord, and our role is to steward—not own—the resources He entrusts to us. This conversation focuses on how to handle money in a way that honors God, guards our hearts, and positions us to live generously.We explore Proverbs 27 and its call to “know well the condition of your flocks,” applying that principle to modern financial awareness. We discuss the importance of understanding your financial picture, recognizing the seasons of life, working diligently, and trusting God to provide what you need. From there, we break down four basic money categories—give, save, debt, and lifestyle—and show how each one fits into a biblical framework.We contrast upside‑down living, where lifestyle drives everything, with right‑side‑up living, where giving and saving come first, debt is evaluated wisely, and lifestyle adjusts to what remains. We talk about the freedom that comes from budgeting, the dangers of lifestyle creep, and the joy of aligning your finances with God’s priorities.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by money, unsure where to start, or convicted about how you’re stewarding what God has given you, this episode offers a clear, biblical path forward. Our goal is not financial advice, but spiritual clarity—helping you live intentionally, generously, and faithfully with the resources God has placed in your hands.Learn more about following Jesus or connecting with Parkway Hills at parkwayhills.org.---Christian podcast, faith podcast, Bible teaching, Christian living, stewardship, managing God’s money, biblical stewardship, living generously, Proverbs 27 teaching, financial awareness, Christian budgeting, right side up living, giving and saving, debt management Christian perspective, lifestyle stewardship, guarding your heart, generosity habits, Parkway Hills Baptist Church, Resolved Podcast, Plano Texas church podcast, DFW Christian podcast, North Texas Christian teaching---#ChristianPodcast#FaithPodcast#BibleTeaching#ChristianLiving#Stewardship#ManagingMoney#LivingGenerously#BiblicalStewardship#ParkwayHills#PlanoTX#DFWChurch

In this episode of the Resolved Podcast, we continue our Living Generously series by exploring what it means to steward God’s resources with faithfulness and purpose. Scripture teaches that everything we have—our money, gifts, time, opportunities, and even the grace we’ve received—is entrusted to us by God. We are not owners but stewards, called to manage His resources for His kingdom.We look at passages like Colossians 1, Ephesians 3, 1 Corinthians 4, Titus 1, and 1 Peter 4 to understand how Paul and the early church viewed stewardship. From stewarding the gospel itself to stewarding spiritual gifts, we see that God expects His people to use what He has given for the building up of the church and the good of others.Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6 challenges us even further. He warns us not to store up treasures on earth, but to invest in what lasts forever. He reminds us that where our treasure is, our heart will follow. And He makes it clear that we cannot serve both God and money. True stewardship begins with seeking first the kingdom of God and trusting Him to provide for our needs.This episode will help you evaluate your relationship with money, examine what you truly value, and consider how your resources can be leveraged for eternal impact. Whether you feel convicted, curious, or overwhelmed by the topic of money, this conversation will give you a biblical framework for living generously and faithfully with what God has placed in your hands.Learn more about following Jesus or connecting with Parkway Hills at parkwayhills.org.---Christian podcast, faith podcast, Bible teaching, Christian living, stewardship, stewarding God’s resources, biblical stewardship, living generously, storing up treasures in heaven, Matthew 6 teaching, seek first the kingdom, dangers of serving money, love of money warning, 1 Timothy 6:10 explained, spiritual gifts stewardship, gospel stewardship, managing God’s resources, generosity in the Bible, Parkway Hills Baptist Church, Resolved Podcast, Plano Texas church podcast, DFW Christian podcast, North Texas Christian teaching---#ChristianPodcast#FaithPodcast#BibleTeaching#ChristianLiving#Stewardship#LivingGenerously#SeekFirstTheKingdom#BiblicalStewardship#ParkwayHills#PlanoTX#DFWChurch

In this episode of the Resolved Podcast, we continue our conversation on living generously by moving from the heart behind serving to the practical ways God shapes us into living sacrifices. Building from 2 Corinthians 2:14–17, we explore what it means to be the aroma of Christ in a world that desperately needs hope. We look at how Jesus leads us in triumphal procession, how our lives carry a spiritual fragrance, and how our motives shape the way others experience Christ through us.We also walk through Romans 12:1 and discuss what it means to present our bodies as a living sacrifice—holy, acceptable, and fully surrendered to God. Serving isn’t convenient, and it isn’t partial. God calls us to offer our whole selves, not leftovers, and to serve with a heart shaped by love rather than obligation.From there, we get practical about spiritual gifts: what they are, how they differ from natural abilities, how Scripture describes them, and how God uniquely equips every believer to build up the church. We talk about discovering your gifts, having them affirmed by others, and stepping into rhythms of service that reflect Christ’s humility—modeled so powerfully in John 13 when Jesus washed His disciples’ feet.Whether you’re new to serving or looking to grow in how God uses you, this episode will help you understand your gifts, check your motives, and embrace the joy of living generously for the sake of God’s kingdom.Learn more about following Jesus or connecting with Parkway Hills at parkwayhills.org.Christian podcast, faith podcast, Bible teaching, Christian living, serving with humility, motivations for serving God, aroma of Christ, triumphal procession explained, 2 Corinthians 2:14–17 teaching, Romans 12:1 living sacrifice, spiritual gifts explained, discovering spiritual gifts, serving the church, Christian service motives, reflecting Christ, John 13 foot washing, dangers of pride in ministry, living generously, Christian discipleship podcast, Parkway Hills Baptist Church, Resolved Podcast, Plano Texas church podcast, DFW Christian podcast, North Texas Christian teaching#ChristianPodcast#FaithPodcast#BibleTeaching#ChristianLiving#ChristianService#LivingSacrifice#AromaOfChrist#SpiritualGifts#ServeWithHumility#ParkwayHills#PlanoTX#DFWChurch
