Stewardship of Money

The sermon addresses the spiritual dangers of financial bondage, identifying the lust of the eyes as a primary cause of a defiled conscience. It establishes that all wealth belongs to God and warns against the deceptive nature of riches, which can lead to pride, idolatry, and misery. The speaker outlines practical biblical principles for financial health, including diligent work, saving with a budget, avoiding debt on depreciating assets, and resisting impulse buying. Emphasis is placed on generous giving and tithing as acts of worship that protect believers from spiritual destruction. Ultimately, faithful management of money serves as a test of character and a prerequisite for receiving greater spiritual responsibilities.
