Good Sense – Biblical Financial Principles for Transforming Your Finances and Your Life
Can you guess what theme in the Bible was discussed in over two thousand passages of Scripture and in about two-thirds of Jesus’ parables? Money and finances! He talked often about these matters because He understood what was at stake. He knew that, left to our own devices, this area would quickly become a source of pain and frustration – and sometimes bondage. Worse, He saw how easily our hearts would be led astray from true devotion to God into areas of worry and even obsession over possessions. He wanted to protect us from these pitfalls and to show us the freedom that comes from following Him fully in every area of our lives, including our finances.
Colorado Ridge Church and the Good Sense Ministry want to help facilitate that by providing a class this summer on biblical financial principles. Most likely this class will be something far different than anything you associate with finances. It can be a tool for those whose financial lives are very healthy, those who are one paycheck away from disaster, and everyone in between. We encourage you to come and learn:
¨ What God has to say about finances
¨ The truth behind cultural myths about money
¨ Earning, giving and saving
¨ Creating a spending plan
¨ Tackling debt
¨ Money saving tips
¨ Financial record keeping
Apart from the learning, this class is a great opportunity to enter into community with others at Colorado Ridge. The class will last 6 weeks, and will meet during the first service (9am – 10:15am) in the Wild Side room (across from Kids Point). The class will consist of some DVD instruction, small group time, facilitated discussion, and Q/A. We encourage you to sign up now to join us; indicate your desire to attend on the service reply cards on Sunday or you can send us an email at www.coloradoridge.com on the Ministry Connect page (click on “I need assistance”). We look forward to having you, and sharing in God’s desires for our financial lives!
