Balanced -
Part 1: Opening the Books
What does it mean to be balanced in the realm of our personal finances? And why talk about our personal finances in church? Because our attitudes and practices with our finances are a reflection of our relationship with God. So instead of guessing - guessing about what God says about money and guessing where our money actual goes - let’s open up the books and take the necessary steps to become balanced.
Part 2: Reading the Fine Print
What is the one thing that drives your finances? What are the factors that influence every financial decision that you make? What do you hope to do with all the money that you earn? The Bible responds to those questions very clearly . . . with an answer that can end up simplifying your financial perspective.
Part 3: Back in the Black
What is your primary objective when it comes to your personal finances? For some it’s supporting a family; others strive to save as much as possible. For many, financial freedom is the finish line.
What should your objective be when it comes to your money? What will bring you the most peace? Join Andy Stanley as he explores the Bible to find the answer. It just might surprise you.
Part 4: Creating a New Line Item
Our culture teaches that our value is based on the accumulation of stuff. The more we amass before we die, the more successful our lives have been. Do you live your life that way?
In this message, Andy Stanley presents a different perspective. Through a New Testament parable, he illustrates the truth that what we do with our “extra” is a clear indication of whether we have bought into our culture’s lie. If you want less anxiety in the arena of your finances, listen and apply this truth.
Part 5: Managing Your Expenses
Do you struggle with discontentment? If you do, there’s a reason.
In this message, Andy Stanley explains why your appetite for more never gets satisfied. Once you understand that, and apply the principles Andy presents, you’ll be able to find the contentment you desire.
Part 6: Developing a Plan
When it comes to personal finances, we often put ourselves first, and God usually gets our leftovers. But then to whom do we turn when we are having financial trouble? Yep! The person we’ve put last. Doesn’t make sense, does it?
In the last of this 6-part series, Andy Stanley explains why it is in your best interest to re-prioritize your money. Using passages from the Old and New Testaments, he outlines a simple plan that will throw open the door to God’s involvement in your finances—a plan that will bring you the freedom and peace you desire.
