Financial Contentment
Hebrews 13:5-6
Which piece of leather shapes more of your decisions, your wallet or your Bible? Pastor Tim Rolen opens the Rainy Days series on that question and comes back to it at the end.

Five weeks of practical, hopeful teaching on money, contentment, and trusting God when finances feel uncertain.
Navigating financial challenges.
“I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.”
Philippians 4:11
Money touches almost everything, and few subjects carry more worry. Rainy Days is a short, practical series about facing financial pressure with wisdom and faith. We taught it at New Hope across five Sundays in late summer 2022.
The messages cover contentment, consumerism, budgeting, planning a legacy, and leaving margin for generosity. The aim is freedom. When we hold money with open hands and a clear plan, we can weather the rainy days and still give generously.

Planning Our Legacy
Romans 12:1-2
After more than fifty years of preaching, Pastor Tim Rolen says he has never once preached on planning a legacy. He does here, and by the end he decides the sermon title was wrong.

Margin for Generosity
Matthew 25:31-46
Most of us have said some version of I would give more if I could. Pastor Mark Addis closes the Rainy Days series on the thing that makes generosity possible in the first place: margin.
