What the Bible says about $$$

Taken from one of our youth group talks:
What The Bible Has To Say About Money
1. God Owns Everything –
1 Chronicles 29:11 (New International Version)
11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.
2. You Are A Steward -
1 Corinthians 4:2 (New International Version)
Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.
3. Work Hard
Colossians 3:23 (New International Version)
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,
4. The Bible Tells Us To Be Honest, Even In Little Things
Colossians 3:9
Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices.
Ten Commandments – Exodus 20:15-16 – You shall not lie, You shall not steal.
5. The Bible Tells Us To Spend Wisely and Be Content
Philippians 4:13
For I have learned to get along happily whether I have much or little.
6. Jesus Says Giving Is A Way To Worship Him
Acts 20:35
It is more blessed to give than to receive.
7. It’s Wise To Save Some Of Our Money
Proverbs 21:20
The wise man saves for the future; the foolish man spends whatever he gets.
8. Too Much Money Can Make Us Forget God
Matthew 6:24
"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money
9. You Can’t Take Money With You
Luke 12:13-21 – Parable of the Rich Fool
