Weeks 12 & 13: THE COST OF GREED (Part 2)
OVERVIEW & LESSON
SERIES OVERVIEW:
Financial literacy is worthless without spiritual literacy fortified by faith in Christ Jesus, our LORD, Savior, Maker, and Provider. This series explores Holy Texts that reveal to us the importance of having and acting on faith in Christ over being motivated by financial gain and power.
TODAY'S LESSON:
The Apostle Paul also offers us a lesson on the pitfalls of greed and its consequences through his first letter to his protégé, Timothy. We will study 1 Timothy 6 in its entirety during these 2 weeks. May we be encouraged to not hold so tightly to our earthly possessions that we fail to store up treasure in heaven (Luke 12:31-34, Matthew 6:19-21).
MEDITATION
[Matthew 6:24 KJV] 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
[Matthew 6:24 NLT] 24 "No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Holy Text
1 Timothy 6:10
[1Ti 6:10 NLT] 10 For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
