Financial Fitness

Did you know that Jesus spent more time talking about money in the Bible than he did about heaven and hell?

Money isn't everything, but it is a huge part of our lives. If you've been through a rough patch with money, then you know few things are as stressful as financial problems.

If we're honest with ourselves, it's also hard to look at others who might be wealthier than us and feel happy with what we already have!

This 5-part sermon series from Pastor Rick Warren is all about learning healthy financial habits from God's wisdom found in the Bible.

God wants us to be successful in all areas of our lives. Teaching your members to be wise with what God has blessed them with is one of the most valuable lessons you could offer!

Sermons included:

1. The Foundation of Financial Health explains that it is our responsibility to use our possessions wisely if we want God's blessing, and looks at the ways Jesus teaches us to do so.
2. The Law of Contentment warns of the harmful side effects that come when we constantly compare ourselves to others and can't be satisfied with what we have. You'll learn how to focus on things that last forever.
3. The Laws of Sowing and Reaping teaches us what it means to sow and reap. These financial laws are just like the laws of nature, we only need to cooperate with them to be successful!
4. The Habits of Financial Health tells us that God wants to bless our finances, we just need to give up our bad habits. You'll learn eight habits for healthy finances from the Book of Proverbs.
5. Where Best to Invest teaches the importance of investing in Heaven where we never have to worry about finances. You'll learn about five "funds" God would like to see us invest in.
