Secret Church 8: The Gospel, Possessions, and Prosperity
In Secret Church 8, Pastor David Platt helps Christians to understand what the Bible teaches about possessions. David Platt explores how these teachings relate to God’s people in the Old Testament, in the teachings of Jesus, and to God’s people in the New Testament. Listeners will then apply what they have learned to the practical issues of submitting, committing, working, living, giving, tithing, helping, saving, borrowing, and investing. This series closes by addressing the errors of the prosperity gospel and then urging Christians to use their prosperity for the glory of Christ and his persecuted church.
