God’s Money: View it Vertically  B   
Matthew 27:57-60 + 1 Corinthians 4:2 


THEME:For the hearer to view money vertically for money is a test, a testimony and a tool. 

Statement of Truth:
Our money is not our money.  It is God’s money entrusted to us.  In Our hands only for a time and one day we will give an account!


I.           Money is a Test

Biblical Example:  Judas

Money will test your:
         •              Loyalty
         •              Allegiance
         •              Heart

II.  Money is Testimony  

Biblical Example:  Joseph of Arimathea

Keynote:  Instead  of Joseph using what he bought to benefit himself he gave up his personal desire to benefit the kingdom.  

II.  Money is Tool  

Biblical word:  Stewardship 

ESV 1Corinthians 4:2Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy.

Questions to Consider:
·   Inthe past how have you viewed money?  In what ways moving forward do you think God is asking you to view money differently?

·  Of the five test of money what area do you most struggle with and why?


·  What testimony are you giving to your family and others regarding how you view money?


·  Are you willing to lay down something you bought for yourself in order that the kingdom might be advanced?
