Financial Vulnerability

In order to be vulnerable, we have to understand where our security comes from. Adam Barnett continues our series by reminding us that our security cannot be found in money. Financial Vulnerability Vulnerable | Week 4 March 26, 2017 | Adam Barnett The human soul was not created to find contentment in the accumulation of stuff. 1 Timothy 6:6 (NIV) But godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:7-8 (NIV) For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 1 Timothy 6:9 (NIV) Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. Materialism is a downward spiral, resulting in temporary satisfaction and permanent addiction. 1 Timothy 6:10 (NIV) For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 2 Corinthians 9:11 (NLT) Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. Waste less on yourself, and sow more in to others. Survey what you have and put it to good use. RELEASE it or REDEEM it. Conduct a self-evaluation to determine where you find contentment. Philippians 4:12 (NIV) I know what it is to be in need and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content.
