Money matters! But how much? And how much does it matter to you? To God? For generations, people have said, “Money is the root of all evil.” Is that statement true? Does it come from the Bible? Today, we will ask and answer a few questions in order to get at the truth of all this. I think we will discover that money is a lot like fire—it’s an excellent servant, but a terrible master.

I. Where Does it Come From?

II. What Does it Mean?

III. How Should We Live?

Talk with God: Meditate on Matthew 22:37 and ask the Spirit to reveal areas of your life where you’ve allowed the love of money to take root.

Talk with others: Ask a mentor or trusted believer if they’ve noticed any idols in your life recently.

Talk with kids: What should we do if others make fun of us or are mean to us for sharing the gospel?
