Session Two of Money Matters  
What if?


Sermon Snapshot:
Freedom from the stress that money brings to our lives is a worthwhile goal for each person who feels shackled by “money-stress.” One important way that we can begin to gain freedom from “money-stress” is by relegating money to its rightful place in our lives. The more our perceived dependence on money, the greater its perceived importance in our lives. Perhaps, it is the case that folks exalt money above even God as the primary provider for our lives, causing our faith to be sorely misplaced. Freedom from “money-stress” is achievable when we acknowledge that God is the primary provider in our life, not money.


Scripture:
1 Kings 16:29-34
1 Kings 17:1-16 (sermon passage 1 Kings 17:7-16)
Exodus 20:3-5
