If money could talk, what would it say?
Ben says: "I can add meaning to your life, but I'm not the meaning of life.”
Ben says: “I am a much better means than an end.”
Ben says: “I am a much better means than an end.”
If you want to live a meaningful life, become a means to an end that's not you
MONEY (POSSESSIONS) MEANT TO BE A TOOL
God views wealthy, money and possessions different than we view it
Money manager commended for taking advantage of his limited time and limited opportunity
Jesus followers ask the question, "How do I get maximum use out of my money and possessions in light of my limited time and limited opportunity?”
“Right-now” resources have the potential to make a "forever difference”
MONEY (POSSESSIONS) MEANT TO BE A TOOL
How can I leverage more of what I have as a means to an end that's not about me?
Do I want more stuff or do I want more stories?
MONEY (POSSESSIONS) ARE A TEST
Are we more devoted to the temporary kingdom OR the Kingdom of God?
BEN says: "I'll be here when you're gone. The moment you think you own me, I actually own you."
We are managers and not owners
Who are you managing it for?
Who are you managing it for?
To what ends do you want your life to be a means?
To what ends do you want your money and possessions to be a means?
To what ends do you want your money and possessions to be a means?
We have a little bit of time and a little bit of opportunity: Will we leverage that for the sake of the Kingdom?
According to Jesus: Our money (possessions) are a means but not the end
