Lake Stevens Family Church

A Total Money Makeover!

Are you aware of this simple truth: God cares deeply about your finances? If you have ever questioned that just think for a moment about this fact. Did you know that in the Bible there are 2,350 verses on money and possessions? (If you ever want to see them, just give me a call, I have them all printed out and in a 3 ring binder.) We know for many folks finances are an area that could really use some help. Help is just what Jesus is offering. Jesus never said life was going to be easy, but He did promise to reward the diligent.

If you’re a married couple, you’re probably aware that finances can be one of the most stressful parts of a family’s life. A recent study done by “ Gallup ” revealed that “56% of all divorces are the result of financial pressure”. This teaching series was designed to do just that; reduce the pressures of finances.

One of the most universal Biblical financial principals about money matters indicates: Most people don’t have a money problem most people simply have a management problem. Galatians 5:22-23 says that one of the fruits of the Spirit is self-control. Self-control is rarely mentioned in the same sentences as money and resources. Let’s learn all we can from God about how He would have us use what He gives to us.

God has great things in store for your life. God wants to bless you incredibly and abundantly. There is a blessing that comes from us being faithful in all areas of our life. Come and let’s learn together what God has in store for us, and desires from our relationship to Him.

Get ready for a TOTAL MONEY MAKEOVER!
