Yesterday’s message was called Christian Finances in Troubled Times, taken from various scriptures. The main idea of the message was how we should handle our finances as Christians during troubled times. Here is a brief outline of the message:

I. Be joyful in God. (Habakkuk 3:17-18)
    A. Though the future looks bleak
    B. Though the present disappoints
    C. Though your past reserves are spent

II. Practice good Christian stewardship.
    A. Give faithfully. (Matthew 6:19-21; 1 Corinthians 16:2)
    B. Spend carefully. (Luke 12:15)
    C. Save wisely. (Genesis 41:28-38; Proverbs 6:6-8)

III. Trust God to meet your needs.
    A. Ask God’s help. (James 4:2; Philippians 4:6-7)
    B. Don’t confuse wants with needs. (Philippians 4:19)
    C. Trust God’s promises. (Hebrews 13:5-6)
