In this message, Pastor Chad Veach teaches “Managing What Belongs to God,” emphasizing that everything we have ultimately belongs to God and is entrusted to us to steward faithfully. Using Jesus’ parable of the talents in Matthew 25, he explains that the goal is not simply to become financially responsible, but to allow our relationship with Jesus to transform how we view and manage our resources. Our money, talents, relationships, and opportunities are gifts from God, and we are accountable for how we use them. Rather than burying what God has entrusted to us out of fear or neglect, we are called to manage it wisely and faithfully. As Pastor Chad explains, “Jesus doesn’t teach me how to manage my money as much as he changes my relationship with money.”
Pastor Chad outlines four practical principles for biblical financial stewardship: know where your money is going, manage it wisely, grow it intentionally, and give generously. He encourages listeners to examine their finances honestly, create a budget, practice intentional work, and develop a long-term plan for stewardship. These practical habits are not simply about accumulating wealth; they are about aligning our finances with God’s purposes and developing a heart that reflects His generosity. He also challenges believers to recognize that their jobs, abilities, and opportunities are resources, but God is the ultimate source of everything they have.
The central message is that faithful stewardship begins with surrender to Jesus. Instead of treating our possessions as entirely our own, we should recognize that we are managing what belongs to God and will one day give an account for how we handled it. Pastor Chad challenges the church to trust God with its financial future while taking practical steps toward financial freedom, wise management, and generous living. The ultimate goal is not merely to have more money, but to become more faithful with what God has already entrusted to us. When Jesus changes our hearts, He changes our relationship with money—and our resources become tools for His purposes rather than masters of our lives.

In this message, Pastor Chad Veach launches a new series titled In God I Trust with a message called “Jehovah Jireh: My Provider.” Using the story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, Pastor Chad teaches that God knows what we need before we know what we will face. Just as God provided a ram in place of Isaac, He remains faithful and trustworthy in every season of life. The message emphasizes that God is not against people having money, but He does not want money to become the thing they trust. As Pastor Chad explains, “God is not mad if you have money. He is mad if money has you.” Believers are called to trust in God’s character, faithfulness, and promises rather than relying solely on their own abilities, finances, or circumstances. today.txt
In this concluding message of the Joshua series, Pastor Chad Veach teaches that “The Season Changed, The Work Has Not.” Drawing from Joshua’s journey into the Promised Land, he reminds the congregation that every season of life brings new responsibilities, but our calling to serve God remains the same. Reaching a breakthrough, achieving success, or receiving what we have prayed for does not mean our work is finished. God still has more for our lives, families, businesses, and communities. As Pastor Chad emphasizes, “Anyone can conquer, not everyone can steward.” We must learn not only to receive God’s blessings but also to care for, grow, and faithfully manage what He entrusts to us.
