Week 1: Dollar and $en$e

I Chronicles 29:10-14

We see in this passage that David is acknowledging the sovereignty of God over everything he has. I think we see in this passage that we have to have a different attitude toward money than that of culture!

Unfortunately to develop the attitude of David we have to break through the lies we have been taught about money. I want to share three lies that sound like truth and then three truths that sound like lies!


Lies that sound like truth

$ Lie #1 – “All the church talks about is money.”



$ Lie #2 – “Money and things can satisfy me.” (Eccles. 5:10-11)



$ Lie #3 – “It’s my money and I can do whatever I want with it.”


Truth that sound like lies

$ Truth #1- “God is the one who determines how much money I have, not me.”
(Deuteronomy 8:17-20)


$ Truth #2 - “God has the power to shut down my company, my business,
and dry up my sources of income in a moment’s notice.”


$ Truth #3 – “Giving to God is the only way out of my financial problems.”
(Luke 6:38)
