Answer the Questions

1. What does this story from Matthew 19 tell us about

  • The rich young man?
  • Jesus?
  • Eternal life?

2. If you were to ask Jesus what you “still lack”, what do you think his response would be?

Application:

This story ends on a positive note. Peter, internalizing the exchange, asks for clarification on what’s in it for those who give up everything and put God first. Jesus, with maybe a twinkle in His eye and a grin on His face, lays it out. He’ll be on the throne, and we get to be with Him. Plus, we’ll receive a hundred times as much we give up in return. And if that wasn’t enough, we’ll inherit eternal life. Pretty good deal... I’d say a win.

So, call your shot today. Choose God over money. When we do, we make a conscious choice to apply finances God’s way – to spend less than we make, get out of debt, save for the future, and generously serve others on our financial discipleship journey.

About this Plan

The 5 Pillars of Financial Discipleship

Financial Discipleship is a crucial component to growing our relationship with the Lord. It is a lifelong journey to learn, apply, and multiply everything God says about money – for His glory. It requires us to embrace God’s ownership of everything, surrender to the Lordship of Christ, make our choice between serving God or money, commit to multiplying disciples, and move our focus from earthly to eternal.
