Audio / Notes / Questions / Leaders

When the proverbs were being first written, money wasn‟t invented. In ancient days, people bartered and traded goods. But even way back then, without coins or bills or beads of wealth, everyone understood treasure, or surplus and wealth. Proverbs has a lot to say to us today about our wealth, our issues of poverty and what God thinks is the smart thing for us to do with money. God sees the big picture and he sees us working out what to do with money in this big picture. Dollars and Sense, today‟s topic, will focus our hearts way beyond accounting and touch the deeper issues that affect our culture and our own lives. Proverbs speaks to us about issues like responding to poverty, choosing opportunity and how dollars impact justice and use strong words like values to gain our attention.
