Is Gambling A Sin?

An age old question that most people wrestle with, especially while seeing advertisements for legal sports betting and huge casinos everywhere. Is gambling wrong? 

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk about the idea of gambling, its history, and what activities actually qualify as gambling. We talk through principles n Scripture about gambling and money management, as well as looking at activities today that require entry fees. Our hope is that as you listen you would be encouraged and have a clearer picture of what gambling is and isn’t!
