Generosity
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).
The god of Money | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin launches a multi-week series called "Money Moves," teaching from Matthew 6 that money can either be a tool or an idol. He argues that when money becomes a god in our hearts it blinds us, steals our joy, and competes with Jesus for the throne of our lives.
Why Would God Use Me? | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin began by celebrating Way Church's generosity and the tangible outcomes from the "Only God" offering - church plants, missions, and thousands led to Christ. He read 2 Corinthians 4:7 and built the sermon around the image of believers as fragile clay jars who carry a priceless treasure: the life of Jesus.
Does the Church Need My Money? | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches about money as a matter of discipleship and worship, arguing that the church's problem is bad branding around money, not the biblical teaching itself. He lays out seven biblical money principles: we are stewards, money won't follow us to heaven, God wants idols out of our hearts not our money, we are called to tithe, we give because God is good, we grow where we sow, and our money can advance the gospel in ways only God gets credit for.
The Risk of Not Following Jesus | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches that Christians too often 'predecide' what God can do by praying only for things they could accomplish themselves. Using the Roman centurion in Matthew 8 as his primary example, he argues that an "Only God" life requires unrelenting hope and a willingness to take risky steps that force God to act.
What a Waste | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Mark 14 about the woman (Mary) who poured expensive perfume on Jesus and was criticized as wasting it. He explains the setting - new believers gathered at Simon the formerly leprous man's house - and shows that Mary deliberately broke the jar as an act of costly worship that prepared Jesus' body for burial.
Make It Count - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 25 (the parable of the talents) urging Christians to "make it count" by stewarding what God has given - time, talent, and treasure - for his glory. He emphasizes that God expects a return on his investment, so followers must obey quickly, multiply what they're given, and pursue godly ambition while remaining dependent on the Lord.
What Jesus Thinks About Money - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin walks the congregation through Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6 about treasure and Mammon, correcting common money misconceptions: that churches only want money, that all churches are sketchy with finances, and that money itself is evil. He argues Jesus and Scripture focus heavily on money because it reveals the heart, and insists the biblical problem is the love of money (Mammon), not money itself.
For God's Glory or Mine - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches from Matthew 6:1-8, arguing that much of Christian life is meant to be lived in the unseen and that God cares about the motives behind our public acts. Jesus warns against practicing righteousness for recognition - giving, fasting, and prayer should flow from intimacy with the Father, not a desire for a platform or applause.
The 5 Reasons We Give - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin argues that the church doesn't have a money problem so much as a branding problem around money - people’s perceptions and misconceptions have changed even though Scripture's teaching about giving has not. He presents five reasons his family gives: obedience (tithing as a biblical command), to remove idols from the heart, to build a lasting kingdom, to receive God’s blessing, and to make a way for others.
Stand Firm - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from James 5 about money, goals, and perseverance. He first rebukes the self-indulgent wealthy James addresses and warns that temporary fruit and hoarded wealth do not last.
Only God - For My Money - Noah Herrin
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.
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.
