Everyone say out loud boldly across this entire room and everywhere else, we were linked on live stream in your lounge, wherever you are, say this boldly together: „It's coming back!“. I love it. I love it. Certain things you never talk about in public. That's the way people have been brought up, especially in days gone by, you never talked about sex.

Yeah, you never talked about politics, uh, and you never talked about money. And so in deference to that today, I'm not going to speak about sex and I'm not going to speak about politics.

But I'm excited to talk about money and the kingdom of God. And God's heart for money and what the word of God says about your money. And so maybe you already said: „Well, I don't care about money. I didn't come to church to hear about money.“ And it affects everybody trying to get ahead, have to pay the rent, get the kids through school, spend money on uniforms, something for the canteen.

So that your kids keep up with all the other kids. Yeah. It's a part of life. Whether we want it to be or not, it's a part of life and I watch people just wanting to get ahead. Good people just trying to provide for their family. They just want to have the means to live a reasonable life.

And so it does affect us. Whether we like it or not to say „you don't care about money“ is kind of a weird thing to say. You may say: „I'm not ruled by money“. That's a good thing to say. You might say „I'm not controlled by money“ or that you don't love money. That's a good thing to say. But you can't get away from the fact that it affects our everyday lives.

And that's why it's important that at times we speak about it and teach about it. People are always looking for ways of wealth creation. Whether its presidents and prime ministers and trying to improve the plight of their people and better their economy and bring prosperity to their land, all the way through to where, like we have as the church at times, got involved in micro enterprise. Micro meaning tiny enterprise, tiny business, a small business.
