Primum Deus

Neste episódio, exploramos textos da Bíblia e dos escritos de Ellen G. White sobre como a alimentação e os hábitos alimentares vão além da saúde física: também afetam a clareza de raciocínio e as percepções espirituais.
Desta maneira, bons hábitos podem ser uma vantagem nas batalhas espirituais do Grande Conflito, especialmente no tempo do fim.
Também refletimos sobre o cuidado com o corpo e sobre como a adoção de hábitos saudáveis pode se relacionar às respostas de Deus às orações por cura. Acompanhe essa conversa sobre hábitos, fé e bem-estar.

True stewardship is more than outward behavior: it begins with a heart God is changing. And every gift becomes an expression of faith in the life to come.
A reflective message about spiritual growth, relationships, and investing in what lasts.
In this message, we explore Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5 and 6 on loving our enemies, forgiving others, and practicing generosity, prayer, and fasting without seeking recognition.

Based on Matthew 5:20-48, this episode explores Jesus’ call to a righteousness that reaches beyond outward rule-keeping and changes the heart.
Through his teachings on anger, reconciliation, lust, marriage, honesty, retaliation, and love for enemies, we’re invited to examine our inner lives and ask the Holy Spirit for the change we can’t create on our own.

In the first episode of this series on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1-20), we explore the Beatitudes, the call to be salt and light, and Jesus’ words about God’s law. The message turns on a challenging question: how can our righteousness go beyond outward rule-keeping? The answer points to humility, repentance, and the Holy Spirit’s work of renewing the heart—so that love, mercy, faithfulness, and generosity grow from within.

What is the true purpose of stewardship ministries in the church? Is it about balancing budgets and funding operations, or preparing hearts for eternity?
In this advisory presentation, leadership from General Conference Stewardship, Treasury, and Planned Giving & Trust Services (PGTS) discuss their collaborative vision for church giving. Moving away from a transactional "fundraising" mentality, this session explores how biblical stewardship serves as a spiritual discipline designed to raise faith rather than just raise money.
Through candid personal testimonies—including navigating hyperinflation, pay cuts, and radical generosity—Marcos Bomfim confronts a pivotal question: Does God need our salary for us to survive, or is He asking us to trust Him completely?
> In this episode, you’ll discover:
Faith Raising vs. Fundraising: Why the goal of stewardship is bringing people to heaven, not filling church safes.
The 5 Pillars of the Stewardship & Treasury Partnership: Connecting spiritual growth, worship through giving, and mission witness.
Donation vs. Worship: The fundamental shift from seeing ourselves as "donors" to recognizing God as the true owner of everything.
Redefining Success: Why leadership should measure member participation and generosity rather than just total dollars collected.
Building Member Trust: The critical role of transparent communication, annual church audits, and sharing frontline mission stories instead of dry financial reports.
Guarding Young Hearts: How regular and systematic giving protects youth from worldliness and anchors their commitment to God.
Key Scriptures Referenced: Matthew 6:19–21, Galatians 2:20, and 1 John 2:15–17.
This theme was presented during the 2026 General Conference Planned Giving & Trust Services Advisory, at the General Conference Headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, on February 23, 2026.
