What does Scripture actually say about money—and why does Jesus talk about it so often? In this Sunday School lesson, we explore a biblical theology of money: why it is powerful, deeply symbolic, and easily idolized, yet also good, beautiful, and meant for worship, generosity, and blessing.
This lesson walks through Old Testament patterns of tithes, offerings, feasting, charity, forgiveness of debts, and the care of the poor—and then shows how Jesus reinterprets these laws for the New Covenant. Christians are not bound by the percentages of the Old Testament, but we are invited into the heart behind them: extravagant worship, open-handed generosity, trust in God’s provision, and practices that “raise our sails” to the work of the Spirit.
This resource offers a deeper look at the Bible’s vision for money—moving beyond guilt, legalism, and the false promises of the health-wealth gospel toward a joyful, Christ-centered approach to stewardship and discipleship.
