Dollars and Sense

Part 1

 

Truth, wisdom, learning, and good sense - these are worth paying for, but too valuable for you to sell.

Proverbs 23:23 (ESV)

 

When I am financially free...

 

1. ...I’ll live a life of undeniable _______________.

 

Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:11-13 (NLT)

 

2. ...I’ll live a life of radical ______________.

 

You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

2 Corinthians 9:7-8 (NLT)

 

3. ...I’ll live a life of extravagant __________.

 

Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.

The poet king, David, wrote “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him” in Psalm 24:1 (NLT). Yet every one of us knows the tug toward self-reliance and self-sufficiency when it comes to money and the things money buys. In this series, we will consider what the Bible sensibly says about our finances. God desires for all his children to live financially free.

Dollars and Sense

Part 1

 

Truth, wisdom, learning, and good sense - these are worth paying for, but too valuable for you to sell.

Proverbs 23:23 (ESV)

 

When I am financially free...

 

1. ...I’ll live a life of undeniable _______________.

 

Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:11-13 (NLT)

 

2. ...I’ll live a life of radical ______________.

 

You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

2 Corinthians 9:7-8 (NLT)

 

3. ...I’ll live a life of extravagant __________.

 

Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.

Romans 13:8 (NLT)
