Jesus on... - Money and Materialism

Jesus on... - Money and Materialism By Timothy Moore Matthew 6:19-24 Psalm 24:1 Malachi 3:8-11

Money and Materialism

Money is a bad god.

We only have room in our hearts for ONE GOD.

Something becomes a god if we allow it to determine our direction and guide our decisions.

How can we make sure money is not our God?

The Answer: Devotional relationship with God and understanding stewardship.

First… Devotional Relationship

If you haven’t begun a devotional relationship with God, who or what is determining your direction and guiding your decisions?

Second… Understanding Stewardship

Stewardship is protecting and expanding the assets of an owner.

Stewardship begins with the rejection of the ownership mentality.

“Leviticus 27:30 says, ‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord: it is holy to the Lord.’ These gifts were a reminder that everything belonged to God and a portion was given back to God to thank him for what they had received.” “A tithe is a portion (10%) of your income given as an offering to your local church.” Dave Ramsey - Ramsey Solutions
