FAITHFUL FINANCES 101

West Side Church of Christ    

Jeff Durham is teaching a class in December on Faithful Finances 101 in the fellowship hall. 

Also if you have any specific questions/topics you would like to see addressed during this class let Jeff know!

Our country, as well as most of the world, is dealing with challenging economic circumstances.  Nationally, unemployment is at higher levels than we’ve seen in decades.  Concern for the long-term effects of rising energy costs, financial markets’ instability, and other weak economic factors weighs on the minds of many Americans throughout the land.  Families struggle to meet their financial obligations on a monthly basis.  What can we do to endure these uncertain times?

During the month of December we will have a class we’re calling “Faithful Finances 101”.  This class is designed to consider the many principles of stewardship and resource management found in God’s Word and combine it with meaningful, practical ideas about how to create, monitor, and maintain a personal/family budget.  Utilizing God’s wisdom in the areas of proper use and perspective of His blessings are valuable tools for us in our daily money management.  Various worksheets and tools to assist us will be available, but we also hope to share classmate ideas of resources they have found useful in their families’ efforts to manage their household budgets.

Everyone is invited to participate in this class; we will be meeting in the Fellowship Room starting Dec. 6.  Please use the sign-up sheet in the hallway to indicate your desire to attend so we can have enough materials available.

Keeping the proper attitude about our financial resources is a challenge we each face daily.  Satan uses it as a tool to keep mankind from giving his all in service to God (Mark 10:17-25).  Jesus tells us we have to choose which master we will serve, either God or mammon (Matt. 6:24).  We ask you to begin praying that our study together will better equip us as stewards of God’s blessings and that it will encourage us to maintain the proper attitude about the possessions He has given to us.
