Matthew 19:22

Yes, even Jesus talked a lot about money. I think it’s because He knows what a touchy and even confusing topic it is for many of us. In this plan, we look at three somewhat surprising things Jesus said about money to see what we can learn.

The blessing of material wealth that many of us enjoy (especially when compared to the poverty that other nations experience) is something worth giving intentional thought (as well as thanksgiving). How are we to handle our finances? How can we exercise wise stewardship? How can we emphasize the eternal over the temporal? Even more, how can we train our children in this important realm of life? This week we’ll consider some ideas.

Money is an essential means of conducting the affairs in our lives. With it, we purchase necessities, pay bills, tithe, support ministries, and give to those in need. As legitimate as these transactions are, it’s worth asking ourselves about our motives and priorities. Do we possess money, or does it possess us? Or better yet, do we manage money wisely since, ultimately, God owns it all (Psalm 50:10)? Let’s do some thinking and praying about our finances this week.

Are you stuck in the cycle of debt and longing to know how to break free? In “Solving Your Money Problems”, Pastor David simplifies the scary, and unleashes a new way of thinking about money.  With Biblical references for the "nuts and bolts" of finances, he outlines easy and accessible ways to budget, to eliminate debt, to increase savings, and to give generously. Are you ready to solve your money problems and live the life that God is calling you to?
