Preaching Money for Easter?

Paul Pastor

Hopping down the money trail.

Leadership Journal April 10, 2013

James MacDonald pulled an unusual rabbit out of his Easter hat this year. The megachurch pastor preached his Sunday morning sermon on money.

You can view the sermon video here. Start at 2:00 in.

Whatever you think of MacDonald’s logic (Easter = freedom, bad money management = bondage, therefore, good money management = good idea for an Easter sermon), is the day the church celebrates resurrection the time to talk finances?

What do you think of MacDonald’s connection between resources and resurrection? Appropriate? Absurd? Discuss.
