Noah Herrin preaches from 2 Corinthians 9 on how money competes for the human heart and why Christians should give so that only God gets the credit. He argues that God is jealous for our hearts and that money often becomes an idol, so Jesus talks about money frequently to expose that idol and reorient us. Using Pauls teaching, Noah explains that giving blesses the giver, enlarges the harvest of righteousness, and enables us to bless others. The service includes a concrete offering moment - an "Only God" offering - designated for a church plant in Charleston, meeting an anonymous local need, and saving for a larger space for Way Church.
“Illustration: a farmer had 100 seeds but only planted 5, then felt regret seeing the harvest he could have had from the other 95.” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Decide in your heart what to give, and give cheerfully rather than reluctantly; use the provided "Only God" envelope or the QR code and select the Only God offering if this is above your regular tithe. The offering will support a Charleston church plant, meet an anonymous local need, and save toward a larger building to reach more people. Write a personal need on the Only God card and keep it where you will see it so you will pray about it; bring it back later to celebrate answered prayers.

Only God - For Me - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from 1 Kings 18 to launch a series called "Only God," arguing that God wants people whose lives are so filled with His power that only God could get the credit. He uses Elijah's showdown with the prophets of Baal as the primary example of power that compels people to worship, and insists that the same power is available today.
I Got the Bag | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 25 (the parable of the talents) to teach that every follower of Jesus has been entrusted with a "bag" - time, talent, and treasure - and will be held accountable for how it's stewarded. The parable shows faithfulness is measured by multiplying what God gives, not by comparing amounts between people.
Test God | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches on tithing as part of a series on money, arguing that tithing is a biblical act of stewardship, not a burdensome law. He defines tithing as returning the first and best 10% of what God entrusts to us through the local church and roots that definition in Scripture (especially Malachi 3).
