Biblical prosperity is about stewardship.
I. Work Diligently
Work isn’t punishment—it’s a part of our God-given purpose.
Work isn’t just what you do to make a living; it’s what you do to make a difference.
1. We provide for our families.
2. We earn the respect of others.
We glorify God.
I. Work Diligently
II. Save Faithfully
Saving faithfully is an act of stewardship.
Saving isn’t about being stingy—it’s about being prepared.
Wise people prepare for tomorrow.
1. We prepare for the unexpected.
2. We position ourselves for generosity.
3. We practice dependence on God.
1. A Decision
2. Determination
3. Discipline
• Don't live above your means.
• Don't become a prisoner to debt.
• Don't make excuses.

III. Invest Wisely
1. Investing is Biblical
God expects us to multiply what He has entrusted to us.
2. Investing is Beneficial
3. Investing is Better than Not Investing
Doing nothing is never rewarded in Scripture
Saving builds the foundation. Investing multiplies it.
I. Work Diligently
II. Save Faithfully
III. Invest Wisely
IV. Eliminate Debt Quickly
Debt is a master that God never intended for you to serve.
Dave Ramsey: “Live like no one else now, so you can live and give like no one else later.”
I. Work Diligently
II. Save Faithfully
III. Invest Wisely
IV. Eliminate Debt Quickly
V. Give generously
Wealth without generosity is wasted… and prosperity without purpose is poverty in disguise.
We are never more like Jesus than when we give.
1. Earn all you can.
2. Save all you can.
3. Give all you can.
