Entrusted with Finances

Kyle Kauffman // August 31st 2025

When we think about the idea of stewardship, we often jump immediately to thinking about finances. Money is a big part of our lives and God has a lot to say about money throughout the Bible. Money is a gift from God, given to meet our needs and entrusted to us as a reflection of His generosity. Yet, it is also a test—how we use our money reveals where our hope lies and what we truly worship. The Bible teaches that our financial choices expose the affections of our hearts. But money is more than just a gift or a test; it is also an opportunity—an opportunity to invest temporary resources into eternal purposes. The gospel transforms our view of money, making us a generous people who give not out of obligation, but with joy and sacrifice. In response to God’s grace, we are called to give generously, cheerfully, and sacrificially, using what we have for His glory and the good of others.

1 Timothy 6:6-10, 17-19
