Money

4. Rich Young Ruler - Luke 18:22027

²²“There is still one thing you lack,” Jesus said. “Sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” ²³But when the man heard this, he became sad because he was very rich.

²⁴Jesus watched him go and then said to his disciples, “How hard it is for rich people to get into the Kingdom of God! ²⁵It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”

²⁶Those who heard this said, “Then who in the world can be saved?”

²⁷He replied, “What is impossible from a human perspective is possible with God.”

5. Give and you will Receive -Luke 6;38

³⁸If you give, you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use in giving—large or small—it will be used to measure what is given back to you.”

6. Reap What You Sow - II Corinthians 9:6

⁶Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. ⁷You must each make up your own mind as to how much you should give. Don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves the person who gives cheerfully. ⁸And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

7. More Blessed to Give - Acts 20:35

³⁵And I have been a constant example of how you can help the poor by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

8. Where is Your Treasure? -Matthew 6:19-21

¹⁹“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where they can be eaten by moths and get rusty, and where thieves break in and steal. ²⁰Store your treasures in heaven, where they will never become moth-eaten or rusty and where they will be safe from thieves. ²¹Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be.

9. Bring the Tithe - Malachi 3:10 Let your tenths (tithes) come into the store-house (church offerings or treasury) so that there may be food in my house, and put me to the test by doing so, says the Lord of armies, and see if I do not make the windows of heaven open and send down such a blessing on you that there is no room for it. – Basic English Version

10. Rich Farmer - Luke 12:16-21 Then Jesus told them this parable: "There was once a rich man who had land which bore good crops. He began to think to himself, 'I don't have a place to keep all my crops. What can I do? This is what I will do,' he told himself; 'I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, where I will store the grain and all my other goods. Then I will say to myself, Lucky man! You have all the good things you need for many years. Take life easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself !' But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night you will have to give up your life; then who will get all these things you have kept for yourself ? ' " And Jesus concluded, "This is how it is with those who pile up riches for themselves but are not rich in God's sight."
