Does your money serve you, or have you started serving your money?

Money can create anxiety, comparison, greed, fear, and frustration. But what if the problem isn't simply how much money we have? What if it starts with who we believe owns it?

In Part 1 of Branded, Pastor Alex Himaya introduces a foundational biblical principle for understanding money and possessions: we are stewards, not owners.

Scripture teaches that everything belongs to God. Everything we have ultimately comes from Him, and what He places in our hands has been entrusted to us for a purpose.

That changes the question from "What do I want to do with my money?" to "Am I using what I have for what God wants?"

📖 In this message, you’ll discover:

• What it means to be "branded" as belonging to God

• Why the Holy Spirit is described as God's seal on believers

• Why Christians are called to think like stewards instead of owners

• What Adam and Eve teach us about God's original design for stewardship

• Why Jesus said we cannot serve both God and money

• How financial anxiety can reveal where we're placing our trust

• Why everything we have ultimately comes from God

• Why God entrusts different resources to different people

• How generosity allows God's resources to meet real needs

• Why Jesus says life isn't measured by how much we own

Your life isn't measured by how much you can accumulate.

Everything is owned by God.

Everything comes from God.

Everything is distributed by God.

You're not the owner. You're the steward.

And when we understand that, money stops being only a financial issue and becomes what it has always been: a matter of our relationship with God.
