Brand New Pt. 3 New Finances

Jan 19, 2025    Les Harvey

(2 Corinthians 5:17 TLB) When someone becomes a Christian, he

becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A

new life has begun!


MAMMON’S PROMISES


(Luke 16:9-13 NKJV) “And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by

unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an

everlasting home. He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in

much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.

Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon,

who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been

faithful in what is another man's, who will give you what is your own?

No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and

love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other.

You cannot serve God and mammon.”


✔️ Security.


(Proverbs 11:28) Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the

righteous will thrive like a green leaf.


(Hebrews 13:5-6) Keep your lives free from the love of money and

be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I

leave you; never will I forsake you.’ So we say with confidence, ‘The

Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?’


✔️ Identity.


(Luke 12:15 NLT) Then he said, “Beware! Don’t be greedy for what

you don’t have. Real life is not measured by how much we own.”


(Psalm 139:13-14) For you created my inmost being; you knit me

together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully

and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full

well.


✔️ Happiness.


(Ecclesiastes 5:10 NLT) “Those who love money will never have

enough. How absurd to think that wealth brings true happiness!”


(Romans 4:7-8 NCV) “Happy are they whose sins are forgiven,

whose wrongs are pardoned. Happy is the person whom the Lord

does not consider guilty.”


NEW FINANCES


(1 Timothy 6:9-10) People who want to get rich fall into temptation and

a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into

ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.

Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and

pierced themselves with many griefs.


Am I returning the first?


(Proverbs 3:9-10) Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the

firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to

overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.


(Deuteronomy 14:22-23) Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that

your fields produce each year…so that you may learn to revere the

LORD your God always.


2. Am I stewarding the rest?

(Luke 16:10-12) “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be

trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will

also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy

in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And

if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property,

who will give you property of your own?”


3. Am I focusing on true riches?


(Matthew 6:19-21) “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on

earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and

steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth

and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and

steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
