We don't like to think we're mastered by anything, but the truth is the Bible makes it clear from cover to cover that we're all mastered by something. And as much as the topic may make us uncomfortable, Jesus taught about money, riches as much as he taught on any other topic, because he knew those were the main things that master us. Paul made it as clear as possible in his letter to Timothy when he said it this way: "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." So although we may not like it, the reality is we have to talk about our relationship with money, because if we're not very, very careful money will master us. For many of us we might already be there. But there's good news. Even if we've never taken the steps to keep money under control it's never too late. In this three part message series we'll take a look at what the Bible has to say about our relationship to money and learn what steps we need to take to make sure it never masters us.

Have you ever heard God blesses people who are obedient with their money? It's all over the Bible. But sometimes we run into a situation where we're obedient to God financially and we don't experience His blessing how we expect. In the worst of cases it doesn't seem like God is blessing us at all. What do we do then?
The reality is God does tell us he'll bless us. It's all over the Bible. It's a promise. But if we don't know what God means when He says He'll bless us we might just end up with expectations that He DIDN'T promise.
This week we'll explore what God means when He says He'll bless us. We'll gain a healthy understanding of what we can, and should, expect when we're obedient with our money. And we'll wrap up this series by giving one more piece of what God is looking for in us to unleash His blessing on us.
