Hello, LEFC! Thanks for joining us on this exploration on Faith & Finances. Over the next four weeks, we’ll see what the Bible says about money (including stewardship, generosity, and investing) as we work to establish a biblical framework that can help us make sense of our financial lives. We’ve put together this webpage as a companion piece for our time together. May it bless you in your journey!

Week 1
“Stewardship is a journey of surrender” — In our first week together, we explore the concept of the dot and the line (where the dot represents our lives here on earth and the line represents eternity) and how we too often focus our financial lives on just the dot. We’ll critically examine conventional principles of financial responsibility in view of biblical teachings.

“Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. By doing this, they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life.”
– 1 Timothy 6:17-19 (NLT)
