Sermon Scripture: James 1:9-11 (NLT)
Money. Whether you have a lot or a little, it’s easy to obsess over money. The Bible has some important wisdom to teach us about money. Here is just a short sampling:
Prov. 22:7 says, “The borrower is slave to the lender…”
Malachi 3:10 tells us to “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse.”.
Mark 12:41-44 calls us to generosity through the story of a widow who gave two small coins, which was nearly all she had.
These are important things we need to learn about money, but there is a deeper, more foundational thing to consider. What is the Christian’s relationship to money supposed to be?
James shares harsh words for those who are rich in 1:9-11, but who are these words for? What does it mean to be rich?
