"Sound Investment Advice" - Philippians 4:14-23

Have you ever been given advice you failed to take? Did you look back and regret it? When I got my first job, my dad taught me about the power of "compound interest". He urged me to start putting away just a little each month from a young age. I didn't listen. I regret it.

Maybe someone suggested a few years ago that you invest in Tesla, or Bitcoin. If only you had taken the advice, things would be different for you. An opportunity missed. Ugghhh, regret!

At the close of Paul's letter to the Philippians, he gets around to thanking them for their support. It is an awkward sort of thank you, and Paul goes to great lengths to make sure he is not misunderstood as he commends them for their help at various times in his ministry. Paul and the Philippians enjoyed an affectionate, caring, relationship that went both ways. It was mutual.

If you have ever felt like churches are always hitting people up for money, and it has turned you off to generosity, then I guarantee you will enjoy this message. Expect a perspective on generosity and giving that might be refreshing, and maybe a little needed this Christmas. Paul goes out of his way to make sure they know he is not laying on the guilt because he is in dire straits! Then why give??

If you think you regret not buying Tesla stock, then I have some very important investment advice you might want to pay attention to! It's free advice, but you have to show up or tune in to get it! You don't want to be kicking yourself eternally!
