Money tempts us with power, protection, provision, and pleasure. Its promises are grand and its shelter seemingly secure. No wonder we trust and treat money like a god—it acts like one! Whether you have a little or a lot of it, money can rule you. In this series, we’ll challenge you to take a look at your relationship with money and possessions and examine whether the almighty dollar has uprooted the place of the almighty God in your life. Join us as we learn together how to understand resources in light of God’s economy.
Homework
Contemplate the cost of envy. Has envy, your pursuit of “more”, crowded out friendships? What has it done to your marriage? Your family life? Now, contemplate the impact of peace. What would it be like to live completely free of jealousy? To have a heart of peace? If you are not chasing after “more” and sacrificing for “more”, what does that free you up to do? What does that allow you to enjoy? Write it down. The Lord will show you as you cast a compelling vision for what your life would be like if you learned to lean on Him and experience a life of true contentment.
