Sermon Notes
Plan Well ~ Various Scriptures
The sermon in one sentence: Wisely consider your finances in order to maximize your involvement in God’s purposes, because you belong to Jesus and everything you have is his.
- Those who are wise “will count the costs” (Luke 14:27-33)
- Jesus uses realities of money to illustrate the point: He is worth following and everything we have belongs to him
- Therefore we should use our wealth to honor God
- Four main purposes of money to help us love others well according to God’s will:
- To provide for you and your family (1 Timothy 5:8)
- To give help to those in need (Matthew 6:2)
- To support the spread of the gospel (Philippians 4:10-19)
- To enjoy life with family and friends (Ecclesiastes 9:7-10)
- Three aspects of planning well in order to maximize your involvement in God’s purposes:
- Budget wisely (Proverbs 13:16)
- Spend wisely (Proverbs 21:17, 20)
- Save wisely (Proverbs 6:6-11)
