Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Proverbs 3:0

From the Sermon:

Money is not ___________________ on anything and everything we may ______, but instead we are to ask ourselves if we are using what we have in a way _______________. 

We need a ____________________ that starts with our heart.

No longer can we say that we want to know if _____ money is well spent, so much as we want _____ money to be well spent.

Honor God with what? With the __________________.

We need a.) ______________________________________________

And b.) __________________________________________

Reflection Questions:

What does that practically look like to honor God with our finances?

What does God want this church to be about? What are we building with God for the sake of God’s Kingdom? What do we value? And how does our budget and spending reflect those Kingdom values?

What happens if we don’t give?

Why do we put money in the offering plate?

Prayer:

Lord, we confess that sometimes we are quick to think of reasons that we cannot give instead of reasons that we do give. Help us to have opened eyes and hearts that allow us to see the blessing of giving our first fruits to you and your Kingdom work. May you take what we give and expand it for the sake of hearts and lives being transformed by the Gospel, including our own and well as those beyond the walls of this place, we pray. Amen.
