  • The scriptures are on the video, some of my notes are below Our primary personal stewardship is that of our own heart. Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it [are] the issues of life. we need to guard it by meditating on God’s word, by surrounding ourselves with his promises and by being constantly aware of his thoughts towards us.

CONCLUSION Covetousness is idolatry because when we are ruled by greed, we serve our own personal interests first, thus obeying the dictates of our flesh rather than the leadings of the Lord God. Covetousness is a subtle way of putting something before God in our lives. We put our own interests before His and those of others, and unwittingly become servants of Mammon. We must face it squarely: We are covetous to the degree we let the love of money rule us. Love of money is the root...

  • D. GIVING: A SOURCE OF GOD’S BLESSING 3 of 4 3. Kingdom Principles Our attitude toward money is all-important.

The Measure Of Our Giving The greatest giver in the Bible was a little widow who only had two mites (about one penny)  – and she gave it, Jesus said, “.. this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them combined” (Luke 21:3). God measures our giving by what we have left, not what we put in the offering. I have seen many church leaders who want their members to give to support them and...
