It has never been easier to accumulate “stuff.” With a click of a button, we can buy almost anything and have it delivered to our door—sometimes within minutes. There’s nothing inherently wrong with enjoying what we buy. But what if something deeper is driving our constant desire for more? What if it’s greed? How do I recognize when greed is taking hold of my heart, and how do I stop feeding it?
We live in a consuming culture, where the latest tech, fashion, or gadget is always just a click away. But what if our desire to fill our carts is really a desire to fill something deeper in our lives? For the next several weeks the Flagstone family will take an honest look at our craving for “stuff” and discover how God provides what the things in our carts never can.

When we think of "greedy" people, we think of folks like Ebenezer Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol" or Gordon Gekko in the movie "Wall Street." Most of us don't consider ourselves to be greedy. And yet, when we take an honest look at our perspective and our actions when it comes to our finances, we may discover that we have an unhealthy craving to get more money and more stuff. How big of an impact can greed have in my life? And how can I transform my greed into contentment?
My relationship with money can be complicated. Money can be the thing I work hardest to acquire yet complain about the most. It has potential to help me accomplish wonderful things, and it has potential to consume every aspect of my life. I’m called to trust God with my money, but I often end up trusting money to be my god. But what if I shifted my view of money and changed my relationship with it? Could transforming my relationship with money actually transform other parts of my life as well? Let’s find out together!
