Sunday Chat / Being A Good Steward of God's Money

“Don’t store up treasures here on earth,  

where moths eat them and 

rust destroys them, and 

where thieves break in and steal.  

 

Store your treasures in heaven,  

where moths and rust cannot destroy,  

and thieves do not break in and steal.  

 

Wherever your treasure is,  

there the desires of 

your heart will also be. 

 

“Your eye is like a lamp that provides  

light for your body.  

When your eye is healthy,  

your whole body is filled with light.  

 

But when your eye is unhealthy,  

your whole body is filled with darkness.  

And if the light you think you have 

is actually darkness, 

how deep that darkness is! 

 

“No one can serve two masters.  

For you will hate one 

and love the other;  

you will be devoted to one 

and despise the other.  

You cannot serve God 

and be enslaved to money. 

Matthew 6: 19-24 

 

Those who live according to the flesh  

have their minds set 

on what the flesh desires;  

but those who live in 

accordance with the Spirit  

have their minds set on 

what the Spirit desires. 

Romans 8:5 

 

To be made new in the 

attitude of your minds; 

Ephesians 4:23 

 

Think about the things 

of heaven, not the things of earth. 

Colossians 3:2 

 

Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. 
Be wise enough to know when to quit. 
In the blink of an eye 
wealth disappears, 
for it will sprout wings 
and fly away like an eagle. 

Proverbs 23:4-5 

 

Don’t love money; 

be satisfied with what you have. 

For God has said, 

“I will never fail you. 
I will never abandon you.” 

Hebrews 13:5 

 

For the love of money 

is the root of all kinds of evil.  

And some people, craving money, 

have wandered from the true faith 

and pierced themselves 

with many sorrows. 

1 Timothy 6:10 

 

There is another serious problem 

I have seen under the sun.  

Hoarding riches harms the saver.  

 

Money is put into risky investments 

that turn sour, and  

everything is lost. In the end,  

there is nothing left to 

pass on to one’s children.  

 

We all come to the end of our lives as naked and  

empty-handed as on the day we were born.  

We can’t take our riches with us. 

Ecclesiates 5:13-15 

 

It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work  

under the sun during the short life God has given them,  

and to accept their lot in life.  

 

And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and  

the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and  

accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. 

Ecclesiates 5:18-19 

 

The generous will prosper; those who refresh others  

will themselves be refreshed. 

Proverbs 11:25


If someone has enough money 

to live well and sees 

a brother or sister in need 

but shows no compassion—

how can God’s love be in that person? 

1 John 3:17 

 

Pure and genuine religion 

in the sight of God the Father means 

caring for orphans and widows 

in their distress and refusing 

to let the world corrupt you. 

James 1:27 

 

Teach those who are rich in this world 

not to be proud and not to trust in their money, 

which is so unreliable. 


Their trust should be in God, 

who richly gives us all 

we need for our enjoyment. 

 

Tell them to use their money 

to do good. 

They should be rich in good works 

and generous to those in need, 

always being ready to share with others.  


By doing this they will be storing up 

their treasure as a good foundation 

for the future so that they may experience true life. 

1 Timothy 6:17-19 


The blessing of the Lord  

makes a person rich, 
and he adds no sorrow with it. 

Proverbs 10:22 

 

If you help the poor,  

you are lending to the Lord 
and he will repay you! 

Proverbs 19:17 

 

You must each decide in your heart  

how much to give.  

And don’t give reluctantly or in  

response to pressure.  

“For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” 

Corinthians 9:6-7 

 

Give, and you will receive.  

Your gift will return to you in full— 

pressed down, shaken together to  

make room for more, running over,  

and poured into your lap.  

The amount you give will  

determine the amount you get back. 

Luke 6:38 

 

Their only suggestion was  

that we keep on helping the poor,  

which I have always been eager to do. 

Galatians 2:10 

 

Remember this—a farmer who plants  

only a few seeds will get a small crop.  

But the one who plants generously  

will get a generous crop.  



Obey the Lord
be humble, 
and you will get riches, 
honor, 
and a long life
.Proverbs 22:4
