“ESTIMATE” I WEEK 2

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.

JOHN GORVEATTE I LEAD PASTOR

“ESTIMATE” WEEK 2

KEY PASSAGES:

Proverbs 19:17 NIV

17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,

and he will reward them for what they have done.

2 Corinthians 9:6-8 NIV

Generosity Encouraged

6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
