Jeff Hickman starts off our series for the month of November, focusing on the biblical teaching of giving and stewardship, drawing on insights from the book The Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn.


FOR FURTHER REFLECTION AND DISCUSSION

Father, what am I guarding and keeping for myself that’s preventing me from depending wholeheartedly on You? Which of “my” assets can I give to You, so that You, not money and things, will be my center of gravity?

• Luke 16:13
• Psalm 42:1–2
• Matthew 5:6

Lord, am I honoring You as owner of the assets You’ve entrusted to my care? Or am I treating You as a mere financial consultant, to whom I pay a fee (2 percent, 10 percent, or…)? Have I been acting as if I own the store and You work for me rather than recognizing that You own it and I work for You?

• Leviticus 25:23
• Deuteronomy 10:14
• 1 Chronicles 29:11-12
