This is undeniably one of the most difficult passages in the Bible. It is seldom preached on because the language is accusatory and blunt. But I’ve learned that everyone is concerned about money to some extent, and this passage gives us several reasons as to why we should be careful with money.

I. It Can Be Obtained Wrongly

II. It Can Be Used Poorly

III. It Will Vanish Eventually

IV. It Involves Judgment Ultimately

V. It Presents An Opportunity

Talk with God: Read Matthew 25:14-30 and prayerfully consider your attitude toward money. Ask the Lord for wisdom to intentionally steward the resources He’s given you.

Talk with others: Ask someone in your family or Connect Group how you can pray for them this week.

Talk with kids: How do our differences show God’s creativity?
