Whose Money Is It Anyway? | Pastor Zach Fontaine

Kingdom Economy Pt. I
1: GOD IS THE OWNER. YOU ARE THE MANAGER.
Psalm 24:1 (NLT): The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him.
Deuteronomy 8:17–18 (NLT): He did all this so you would never say to yourself, ‘I have achieved this wealth with my own strength and energy. ’Remember the Lord your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful…
2: MONEY IS SPIRITUAL. IT REVEALS WHAT YOU REALLY TRUST
Proverbs 11:25 – “The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.”
 
3: FAITHFULNESS STARTS BEFORE ABUNDANCE
Luke 16:10 (NLT) If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities.”
Faithfulness doesn’t start when life gets easier. It starts with what you already have
Deuteronomy 8:18 (NLT) Remember the Lord your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful…
God doesn’t bless control. He blesses trust.

How to Handle the Word | Pastor Zach Fontaine

Non-Negotiables - Part 4 : How to Handle the Word
 
How to Handle the Word: How to Read, Understand, and Apply the Bible
1 - Know What You're Holding 
The Bible is one book... but it's made up of 66 smaller books. It's not laid out like a novel - it's a library.
 
Old Testament (before Jesus came - points to Him)
New Testament (after Jesus came - shows how to live in the New Covenant)
 
What does fulfill the law mean?
1. The Law Set the Standard
Romans 3:20 - Through the law we become conscious of our sin.
 
2. Jesus Met the Standard
Matthew 5:17- Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
 
3. Now We Live in His Righteousness
Romans 10:4 - Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (ESV) All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
 
2 - Some is to you but all is for you
Romans 15:4 (ESV) For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
 
Filter 1 - What does this reveal about God's character?
Filter 2 - What principle or pattern is here that still applies?
Filter 3 - How does this point me to Jesus? Jesus Himself Said It
 
Luke 24:27 - "Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself."
 
John 5:39 - You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me."
 
Examples of the Old Testament  Pointing to Jesus
 
Passover lamb (Exodus 12): Blood over the door saved Israel from death - Jesus is the Lamb of God whose blood saves us.
 
The sacrificial system (Leviticus): Constant sacrifices showed sin required death - Jesus is the once-for-all sacrifice.
 
Jonah in the fish (Jonah 1-2): Three days inside + Jesus rose after three days in the tomb (Matthew 12:40).
 
The Exodus (Exodus 14): God delivered Israel from slavery to Egypt * Jesus delivers us from slavery to sin.
 
3 - Learn to Apply What You Read
James 1:22 says, "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."
 
4 - Let Scripture Interpret Scripture
Psalm 119:105 - Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Non-Negotiables - Part 3 : The Final Word | Pastor Zach Fontaine

The Final Word
Why the Bible is the final authority for a Jesus follower.
You can feel confident and still be wrong.
Without God’s Word, you might be carrying something messy and not even know it.
The Bible isn’t optional — it’s the blueprint for life.
 
1. The Word of God is the Voice of God
 
All Scripture is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16–17).
Same breath that created the world speaks here.
This is your Creator’s manual — not to limit you, but to align you.
Obedience doesn’t earn God’s love — it unleashes His wisdom (James 1:22–25).
Different Bible translations fall into the following categories: 
a)Word-for-word translations (like NKJV or ESV) stick as close as possible to the original wording.
b)Thought-for-thought translations (like NLT) keep the meaning the same but make the sentence structure easier to read in modern language.
c) Paraphrases (like The Message) that are more like a devotional commentary than a literal translation.
 
Reflection Question:
Is the Bible the final authority in your life, or just an optional opinion?
When you disagree with Scripture, who wins?
 
2. The Bible Transforms Your Mind
 
The biggest battle is in your mind (Romans 12:2).
If you don’t fill it with truth, culture will fill it with lies.
God’s truth doesn’t change with trends.
The Word is alive and pierces to the core (Hebrews 4:12).
 
You are being shaped every day:
....By what you scroll
....By what you watch
....By the conversations you're in
....By the opinions you allow to settle in your soul
And if you aren't grounded in God's Word, you will be swept up in the world's way of thinking.
 
3. The Bible Is Truth
 
“Your word is truth” (John 17:17).
The Bible isn’t a suggestion — it’s the standard.
Truth doesn’t bend with culture — we change for it, it doesn’t change for us.
 
Some of the Hardest Commands Are the Ones That Set You Free
Things like:
Tithing - feels like a financial burden until you realize it's God's way to protect your heart from greed and open you up to provision.
Sexual boundaries - feel restrictive until you realize they guard the most vulnerable and sacred parts of you.
Forgiveness - feels impossible until you realize it frees you more than the person you're forgiving.
Rest - feels like a waste of time until you realize it's how God keeps you from becoming a slave to productivity.
Serving others - feels like a drain until you realize it's how God expands your capacity and matures your heart.
Loving your enemies - feels unfair until you realize bitterness only keeps you bound to what hurt you.
Honouring God with your body - feels outdated until you realize it's about worship, not restriction.
Letting go of self-defined identity - feels scary until you realize He knows you better than you know yourself.
 
God's boundaries aren't about control. They're about calling.
Every voice will try to define you.
Only God’s Word can hold you when storms hit (Matthew 7:24–25).
Decide today: The Bible is not just a book you respect — it’s the voice you obey.
