Why We Work | FreedUp Week 2
Share a memorable gift-opening moment from your childhood or share the coolest gift you ever gave someone?
Read Colossians 3:23-24. No matter what you do for work or in school Jesus invites us to work diligently for him. Brainstorm ways you see how you could serve Jesus at work or in school and what barriers may keep you from being able to do that.
Read Deuteronomy 8:17-18. God looks at us as managers, not owners, of the resources he has given us. Think about your last month of spending. If Jesus was managing your finances, what would he change?
Over the next four weeks we're going to continue to take steps towards using our money the way that Jesus would. What's one step you can practically take in that direction? Maybe it’s looking for different sources of income, or changing how you spend. To make the most of the FreedUp experience, download the FreedUp app now.
Read Psalms 24:1 and then close your time in prayer. Say your own or use this one: “Jesus, you are the giver of all the resources we have. We thank you for your love and generosity. Give us clarity on how we could change the way we earn and how we spend to align more with your ways. We invite you to breakthrough in our lives and specifically with our work and spending. Amen.”
Do you ever wonder why we work? Believe it or not, earning money is a good thing. But many of us have never stopped to consider why we earn, so we have no idea why we should spend, save, or even give. Join us today as Chuck talks about why making money is a good thing that God uses to grow and bless us.
