    Because He ... Gave | We give because He gave first, and our giving helps build His Kingdom.

    Does God owe us something when we’ve been faithful? What happens when we obey Him and life still hurts? In Because He Gave, Pastor Nate Schaefer at Passion Church explores John 3:16, God’s grace, and the foundation of Christian generosity: God gave first. Through Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus and His willing sacrifice on the cross, this message challenges us to stop treating giving as a transaction with God. We don’t give to earn His love, repay His sacrifice, or guarantee a life without suffering. We give because grace has made us free. In this message, discover: Why God’s generosity comes before our obedience. Why faithfulness doesn’t guarantee a suffering-free life. How control and past hurt can hold us back from generosity. What it means to give our time, attention, hospitality, and resources.

    Because He... Comes First | Tithing, firstfruits, and putting God first financially.

    What if the biggest problem with your money is that you think it belongs to you? In this message, we look at what the Bible teaches about money, generosity, stewardship, giving, and ultimately who owns everything we have. Psalm 24 tells us that the earth and everything in it belongs to the Lord. That changes the way we think about our paycheck, possessions, savings, future, and generosity. Biblical giving doesn't begin with a percentage—it begins with ownership. In this message, you'll discover: • Why God is the source of everything we have • What biblical stewardship really means • Why generosity is bigger than giving money to a church • How money can reveal what we truly trust Rendering our finances is part of surrendering our entire lives to Jesus We'll look at Psalm 24, Deuteronomy 8:17–18, 1 Chronicles 29, and Matthew 6:19–24 to understand what Scripture says about money, generosity, trust, stewardship, and following Jesus. The question isn't simply, “How much should I give?” The deeper question is: Who owns what I have?

    The Story Isn't Finished

    What do you do when you’ve prayed, obeyed, trusted God—and still can’t see what He is doing? In Acts 9, Saul appears to be one of the greatest threats facing the early church. But while believers saw a persecutor, Jesus saw someone whose story was far from finished. Through Saul’s encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus and the obedience of Ananias, we discover an important truth: what you can see is not everything God is doing. In this message, “The Story Isn’t Finished,” we look at what Acts 9 teaches us about faith, obedience, trusting God through uncertainty, and taking the next step even when we cannot see the next chapter. Key truths from this message: You don’t know what God is writing next. What you see isn’t all God sees. Your part is obedience; God owns the outcome. Faith takes the next step when it can’t see the next chapter. Jesus didn’t only save you from something—He saved you for something. Maybe you’ve prayed, waited, tried, or obeyed and nothing seems to be happening. Don’t confuse the end of what you can see with the end of what God is doing. The story isn’t finished. _____________________ NEXT STEPS Ask for prayer, connect with a pastor, or let us know you made a decision to follow Jesus: https://passionqc.church/info Give a financial gift to support what God is doing through Passion Church: https://passionqc.church/give Download the Passion Church app to stay connected, follow along with messages, give, and receive church updates: https://passionqc.church/app Subscribe so you don’t miss future messages from Passion Church. ⸻ CONNECT WITH PASSION CHURCH Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/passionchurchqc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passionchurchqc

    The Story Isn't Finished

    Scattered, Not Stopped

    What if what feels like God stopping something is actually God spreading it? In “Scattered, Not Stopped,” we walk through Acts 6–8 and the story of Stephen to discover what faithfulness looks like when obedience gets costly and you cannot see the outcome. Stephen was faithful. He was full of the Holy Spirit. He did what God called him to do—and his story still ended beneath a pile of stones. But what looked like failure became part of something much bigger. Persecution scattered the early church throughout Judea and Samaria, and those believers carried the gospel with them. Sometimes you won’t see what God is doing through your obedience. Sometimes following Jesus will lead somewhere you never expected. But God never wastes your faithfulness. In this message: Faithfulness doesn’t require understanding Faithfulness doesn’t change when it gets costly Faithfulness produces fruit we may never see Pressure reveals what is inside of us Your faithfulness is not failure Your responsibility is faithfulness; God’s responsibility is the outcome This week: Be available. Be faithful. Trust God with what happens next.

    See The People

    What happens when a growing church begins facing growing needs? In Acts 6:1–7, the early church faced a real problem: people were being overlooked. The answer wasn’t for a few leaders to simply work harder. Instead, believers were empowered to step into their God-given roles, people were cared for, and the gospel continued to spread. In “See the People,” Nate Johnson challenges us to recognize that every believer has a part to play in the mission of Jesus. In this message, we look at: • Why growth creates both opportunities and responsibilities up servants, not spectators • Why serving people is spiritual work • Why you don’t need a title to live out your calling • How seeing and serving people demonstrates the love of Jesus • What happens when every believer embraces their role Missional living begins when we stop seeing interruptions and start seeing people. The question isn’t whether you have a part. The question is whether you will embrace the part God has for you. SCRIPTURE: Acts 6:1–7 MESSAGE: See the People Who is God putting in front of you? What need are you overlooking? What can you do this week to demonstrate the love of Jesus?
