Session 3:
Scripture Memory
For the love of money is a root of all
kinds of evils. It is through this
craving that some have wandered
away from the faith and pierced
themselves with many pangs. But as
for you, O man of God, flee these
things. Pursue righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, steadfastness,
gentleness.
1 Timothy 6:10-11

Discuss Session 4:
The #1 Myth About Money
•Generous giving frees us to do
more for the kingdom of God. It
also serves as a reminder that He
owns it all and that we are asset
managers for His glory.
•Faithful managers are given more
to handle. Those who cannot be
trusted are not entrusted with
more.

Scripture Memory
The point is this: whoever sows
sparingly will also reap sparingly,
and whoever sows bountifully
will also reap bountifully. Each
one must give as he has decided
in his heart, not reluctantly or
under compulsion, for God loves
a cheerful giver.

Session 5:
Scripture Memory
One who is faithful in a very little is
also faithful in much, and one who is
dishonest in a very little is also
dishonest in much. If then you have
not been faithful in the unrighteous
wealth, who will entrust to you the true
riches? And if you have not been
faithful in that which is another's, who
will give you that which is your own?
Luke 16:10-12

God’s Way Works, But It
Takes Committed Effort
• When you practice God’s ways of
handling money, he makes a
difference in your life. It’s not
magic or some prosperity theology.
It works because it’s God’s plan.
• These biblical principles are pretty
easy to understand, but they are
very hard to practice. They are
difficult to implement, but they
work and they honor God.
