The False Promise from Money: As soon as you get a little bit more of me, I’ll deliver on my promise

Recap… Money: I can add meaning to your life, but I’m not the meaning of life

Money: Your self control determines which one of us gets control

Our financial pressures have less to do with what we make, and more to do with what we have done with what we make

Money says: I’ll always go where you send me

The Holy Spirit promotes self control in ALL things. Including our money.

No one can serve two masters. You cannot serve God and money. - Luke 16:13

Jesus viewed money as the chief competitor against Him for your heart.

How much easier is it for you to trust Jesus with your sins, than it is to trust Jesus with your money?

If you haven’t surrendered what you have, then you haven’t really surrendered.

God doesn’t want you to be mastered by an appetite for more.

“Seek-Ye-First” Living:
1. Give first
2. Save
3. Live

Telling your money to “go” is proof that your money isn’t running the show.

For the next two months:
- Choose a percentage of your income and give it away FIRST THING when you get paid.
- Pay attention to the internal tension this creates within you.
- Listen closely to those internal conversations.
- Discover what is at the center of your resistance. What excuses are you are you giving yourself?

Money: I’m a much better servant than I am a master
