Financial Health: A Focus for Financial Freedom
February 6, 2022Money is the most common thing in our lives. If you’re not communicating about money, you’re not communicating about anything!

~ Pastor Matt Poorman
1 Timothy 6:6-10 – 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 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.
