Godliness with Contentment Keyno Hanna

There is so much to talk about when we think about Abraham. I will try to focus on a few things. This means that I will miss out a lot of aspects you would think I should include. As I think about wealthy people in the Bible, I think that one big reason they got to be wealthy because God blessed them. That is how they got wealthy. In Abraham's case that is very clear. We will read a few verses from chapters 12-14 as we discuss God's blessings and Abraham's gratitude.

Today we are embarking on a journey through the Bible and will be looking at wealthy people in the Bible who were people of God. This week, we start out by looking at Job. God blesses, protects and provides.

Today I want to share with you 5 biblical principles for achieving financial freedom.  We get there when we do it God’s way.

I respect that the sandwich generation guys are taking care of children and parents, but I also want you (if that is you) to find a way to get some margin so you can pay off debt, and save for later and give and enjoy some of the hard earned money. It is hard when we are living paycheck to paycheck.

One of the biggest things for you to be aware of is a money scam. Scammers are after your money. Your hard earned money. Scams can come with the promise of fast and great returns. Other scams like charity scams or romance scams play on your heart strings. Unfortunately, they are all too good to be true. 

Before going on your summer vacation trip make sure you have a buffer. Stuff happens. Don’t just think budget for the trip - flight, hotel, car, food etc. but make sure you have a contingency. Missed flights, delays, hotel nights, food,…. It can pile up.
