In this inclusive study, Dr. Jeremiah challenges us to drop our guard long enough to allow God's Word to speak to us on the issue of money and Christian stewardship.This study addresses tithing, grace, giving, personal commitment, and the priority of our relationship with Christ. And, the most important, he lets the Bible provide the final answers to the biggest investment decision we'll ever make - the investment for eternity!
When Elijah first approached the widow of Sidon, there was no way she could have foreseen the way God would meet her pressing need for food. Yet she took God at His word, put Him first above all- and that’s when the truly miraculous began to happen. Covers Deuteronomy 26 and I Kings 17
When Paul wrote to the Corinthians about the principled of selfless giving, there was no better example he could hold up than the churches in Macedonia. However, their giving was not a matter of skimming something off an abundance of wealth. Theirs was a sacrificial giving that had begun with an initial total commitment to Christ. What then, will that kind of commitment consist of?
The Colossians of Paul’s day faced a dilemma not unlike our own: How important is it that we, as believers, acknowledge Christ’s supreme position over all things? After all, if He is ultimately Lord of all, then it follows that He must be Lord over my life. In this series, we might well ask how that may impact not only our stewardship for Christ, but our obedience in every area. Covers Colossians 1:15-19.
If there’s one person in history who has know both the highest highs and the lowest lows related to money, it is King Solomon of Israel. And though his once godly life apparently took a turn for the worse as the years wore on, his wisdom concerning the basics of life- even money- did not abandon him. So it is to his records of wisdom that we look for financial advice.
All of us, as we begin to serve the Lord, are involved n the investment process; and the Bible tells us there are two portfolios we are concerned about. Jesus, in fact, talked about these in Matthew 6:19-24.
From the farmer in the field to the non-Christian making a decision about the Gospel to the Christian considering the wisdom of obedience there exists in God's Word an overriding principle that governs the sustaining of His work in the world. That principle inevitably returns to the sower a harvest based on what he has sown. Covers Galatians 6:7-10
Like God himself, the type of giving that is reflective of God possesses certain attributes. And while knowledge of those attributes, or characteristics, cannot guarantee that we will be obedient in grace giving, understanding them should certainly motivate us to be a part of the kind of giving that has its source in the grace of God. Covers 2 Corinthians 8-9
When all is said and done, it is not merely because of ignorance that some believers do not participate in giving willingly, systematically, and gratefully to the church. Some Christians either keep a convenient distance between themselves and God's principles, or they assume that they somehow have been exempted from His commands as well as His principles. But is that really true? Covers 2 Corinthians 8-9
Though some people may not be motivated by rewards, the Bible does speak of rewards, just as the Bible speaks of God's provision. God rewards in a bountiful, wonderful way those who honor Him and in the Bible we find some vivid pictures of that provision.
In order to understand what the commitment of faith really is, we will examine what it is not as well as what it is. Then we will examine the way it takes shape in our lives. Covers Hebrews 11
