"Enough is Enough"
Grow: Are you paying attention to what you actually spend your money on, regardless of the price? In what areas of your life is money like a master to you? Do you trust God to take care of you even if you do not see how that is possible from a human perspective?
Pray: May we be humble stewards of the gifts you have given to us by God, and may we set an example of mercy and generosity by becoming involved in the mission of Christ by giving to God a portion of what He has given to us in the knowledge that everything we have is a gift. Amen
Study: Matthew: 6:9-14 Are you looking for more than daily bread? Can God be trusted to provide for us daily? How would that look in your life? What does Jesus mean by 'daily bread'?
Malachi 3:6-12 Do you set aside a portion of your income to return to God? 2%, 5%. 10%? How have you cheated God? With your money? Time? Other resources? Does this mean that if we give God some money He will give us more money?
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 What should be the motive in our giving?
