Have you ever wondered what the Bible has to say about your money and possessions? Do you find that there is too much month left at the end of the money? Are you worried about debt? Or maybe you are comfortable with your financial situation but want to know how you can honor God as a faithful steward. The Biblical Financial Study might be for you!
The Biblical Financial Study is a ten-week small group study addressing personal financial management and stewardship, covering the topics shown in the illustration above. Each week you will memorize a Bible verse, complete a Bible study, pray daily for the members of your small group, read an article on the week’s study topic, and complete the assignments in the practical application workbook. The small group meets weekly to discuss the Bible study and practical applications. The group holds each other accountable to complete the homework, but they need not share any specifics of their personal financial situation. Most participants will spend three to four hours per week to complete the homework and prepare for the small group meeting; less preparation time is required during the second half of the study. Prior to the study, everyone will read the book, Your Money Counts, by Howard Dayton. Upon completion you will understand Bible truths about financial stewardship. You will have a detailed understanding of your personal financial situation, have created a family spending plan, and plans for creating savings and eliminating debt.
We completed the first session of the Biblical Financial Study this past spring. The group recently met for a reunion picnic. Past group participants have said, The study was a great way for my husband and I to agree on how we would handle our money. When we began to pray about fi nancial needs and decisions it was exciting to see how God provided for us in completely unexpected ways!
An introductory session for the next Biblical Financial Study will be held on September 7. The weekly small group meetings will begin the first week of October and finish prior to the Christmas holiday season. The group is open to both couples and individuals. Married (or engaged) couples are encouraged to attend as a couple. The group is limited to five couples or six individuals. The cost for materials is $55 for couples and $45 for individuals.
If you are interested in participating in the next session or would like to receive more information, contact one of the people listed below. We look forward to seeing you at the next study and know that you will be amazed at how God will work in your life as you apply the truths of Scripture!
