Between Mother's Day and Father's Day, money emerges as perhaps the greatest source of marriage and family tension. This message examines three foundational biblical principles that can radically transform how money is handled in homes and marriages. Discover why Jesus elevated money to the same level as Himself—the only thing He saw as competition for first place in people's lives. Learn why the deception of building life around money is its short-sightedness, illustrated by the rich fool who succeeded but died the same night without being rich toward God. Explore the revolutionary truth that God owns everything and believers merely manage temporary assets, with how we steward now determining what God will entrust eternally. Confront the challenge of whether your checkbook would reveal God is truly first in your life.
