Living the Abundant Life
Faith & Finance with Rob West

Show Notes
THE WORLD'S MESSAGE VS. JESUS' CALL:
- The world encourages material accumulation and personal success for happiness, but this stands in contrast with Jesus' call to follow Him for abundant life.
- Material success is fleeting and ultimately insignificant in the light of eternity, and while happiness is ambiguous, abundance as promised by Jesus is desirable and everlasting.
THE CONCEPT OF ABUNDANCE:
- The Old Testament presents abundance in material terms, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:11 and Psalm 31:19, with the caveat that it required faithfulness to God.
