“ESTIMATE”
Money is powerful. Though money can be leveraged in positive ways - like buying presents for the people we love or providing for our families, we often underestimate the grip it has in our lives. If we aren’t careful, it can rob our joy, divide our homes, and cause unnecessary stress. How do we keep that from happening? Scripture is full of people just like us who surrendered their money to God and saw Him provide. They understood this simple truth: we often overestimate the value of what we have, and underestimate the value of what God could do in our lives as we trust Him more. Join us as we rediscover God’s way for our money starting this Sunday, Feb 28.

“ESTIMATE” WEEK 1
KEY PASSAGES:
Matthew 6:19-21 NIV
Treasures in Heaven
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Luke 12:16-21 NIV
16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’
18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’
21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”
Luke 12:33-34 NIV
33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
