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.

Book Recommendation: How to Be Rich by Andy Stanley
1 Timothy 6:17 – Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
1 Timothy 6:18-19 – Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
