In this week’s teaching on A Change of Heart, the focus turns to finances and generosity. Scripture mentions the heart hundreds of times, reminding us that our financial decisions are not just about money—they reveal what’s happening inside us.
The Bible defines a healthy financial heart by stewardship, contentment, and generosity rather than the pursuit of wealth. Proverbs teaches us to honor God with our first fruits, while 2 Corinthians reminds us that God loves a cheerful giver. Giving should never be forced or reluctant, but willing and joyful. When our hearts are right, generosity becomes a blessing both to others and to ourselves.
Contentment is another key principle. Scripture warns against the love of money, calling it the root of many kinds of evil. Instead of chasing wealth, believers are encouraged to trust God’s provision, remembering that He is the source of all we have. Everything ultimately belongs to Him—we are simply stewards of His resources.
A good financial heart also practices honesty, avoids excessive debt, plans wisely, and remains open to helping those in need. True wealth is not measured by accumulation but by obedience and faithfulness.
When our hearts are aligned with God, giving becomes natural, contentment replaces greed, and peace replaces fear. A transformed heart leads to wise stewardship and generosity that reflects God’s love to the world.
