The Gospel On Money Series
Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 29, 2024 (message contributor)
Summary: My responsibility increases when it is someone else’s money. If I blow MY money, it’s one thing. If I blow YOUR money, it’s something else entirely.
Questions to Ponder:
How am I putting the gospel to work in my life? What are you doing with what you have? What return am I making on God’s investment in my life? What profit will I show when Jesus returns? Believer, if Jesus returned today, would He be pleased with how you’ve invested your life?
2.5 An Altar
At the beginning of my message, I asked you to place the 40-Day Challenge Card in front of you. There are 7 ways you can best your use time for the next 40 days here. Bible reading, prayer, encouraging, tithing, serving, worshipping and witnessing.
