Does God Really Own Your Money? | EP. 217

“All of our money, time and abilities come from God, we are responsible for stewarding it well for the Kingdom of God.” – Travis Albanesius

Trav and Scott start are back this week as we continue The Money Series! When you think about your money is it really YOUR money or is it God’s money? In the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25 we see the master entrusting the servants with his estate. Although each servant is entrusted with different sums of money, it still all belongs to the master. All of our money, time and abilities come from God. We are responsible for stewarding it well. God is the supplier, He is the source, He gives us all things. We often hear the popular phrase, money is the root of all evil. But as we read in 1 Timothy 6:10, it is the LOVE of money that is the root of evil. It’s easy as men to put our focus on money and success. To put our careers over our relationship with God. This will ultimately lead to destruction and ruin. Men, trust God with your finances. Steward well ALL that He has supplied you with. It’s not our money, it’s God’s.

How do I put God first when it comes to money?

  • Tithe 10% – tithing is just returning the 10% that God gave you
  • Steward your money well
  • Give generously

See, I have gained five more.’ “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’” Matthew 25:19-22

  • God is the supplier, He is the source, He gives us all things
  • “Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” 1 Timothy 6:9-10

  • “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty. “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.” Malachi 3:10-12
  • “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.” Matthew 23:23
  • Tithing is NOT just an Old Testament thing, it’s a New Testament thing too
  • What if we as men trusted God with our finances and put these verses into practice
  • God promises a faith blessing to those who entrust their money with Him
