Episode 228: Ka-Ching: Talking About Money
1. Let the Bible determine when and how often you talk about money.
- If you preach systematically, the subject will come up.
2. Plan a sermon series on money, finances, stewardship.
- They might be different in meaning, but people interpret them the same way
3. Avoid apologizing for preaching on the subject.
- Hypocrisy in this area is unforgivable to many.
- You shouldn’t apologize for God’s word
- Ask yourself - Do I want my church family to be blessed?
- Malachi 3:10 New International Version (NIV)
- Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
4. Speak honestly and clearly
- define your terms: tithe, offerings, generosity, stewardship
- the ministry needs resources
5. Keep your church budget available and talk about it
- Everybody has limits and boundaries on their income and expenditures. They recognize that for the church.
6. Share stories, and let others share stories
7. Use small groups
Two controversial statements:
1. If your church is not practicing good stewardship, don't preach on the subject. - WHAT?
2. if you are not practicing good stewardship, don't preach on the subject. - WHAT?
