During the month of October, we look at what Jesus said about money and material possessions. We look at both the dark and
light side of money. We are also reminded of the many ways God’s Kingdom is advancing because of the generosity of Harpeth
Hills.
Jesus discussed money often. In fact, he said more about possessions than any other topic except the Kingdom of Heaven.
Scholars tell us that one in every six verses in the New Testament has something to do with money and almost half of the parables
of Jesus (17 out of 36) deal with stewardship. Bathe this month in prayer. Ask God to continue to convict us about what is most
important.
