Five Appointments with God

Common sense does not seem to be so common any more. As well, what is common to you is not necessarily common to me and what makes sense to me might not make sense to you. This is why Scripture and God’s authority are so important. When it comes to how we handle our money, God’s Word can be so very helpful. Jesus spoke so about money more than any other topic. Do you know what He said? Are His instructions common in your life’s decisions? I pray that this week will be helpful as we learn about what God has to say about our money. ---Pastor Paul

Monday - Whose Money Is It Anyway?
I Corinthians 4:7; 6:19-20 – Where did you get your money? Did you work for it? How about your toys? Where did they come from? How about your house? Did you buy it? Make sure your answers match these passages.

Tuesday - Real Wealth
Matthew 6:19-21 – How do you measure what you are worth? Is your measurement reflected in your driveway or perhaps on your property? Are people included in your net worth? Does your role at church factor into this assessment?

Wednesday - Is It Wrong To Borrow Money?
Proverbs 3:27-28; Psalm 37:21 – Does God’s Word forbid borrowing money? What does Scripture have to say about paying back our loans? What is your personal belief in this area? How did you arrive at that belief?

Thursday - Is It Wrong To Lend Money?
Proverbs 3:27-28; Psalm 37:21 – Does God’s Word forbid borrowing money? What does Scripture have to say about paying back our loans? What is your personal belief in this area? How did you arrive at that belief?

Friday - Should We Pay Our Bills Before Tithing?
I Corinthians 8:5-7; 9:13 – Do you understand what it means to “tithe?” Do you tithe regularly? Do you tithe before you pay your bills or after? What does God’s Word tell you to do?
