Finances & The Way the Church Functions

As church leaders we can’t just ignore finances. Salaries, facilities, equipment, teaching materials, and so much more costs money. And, God does want us to be good stewards of what we have.

But, neither can we forget the great God we have who is able to create something out of nothing, who is able to feed thousands with just a little boy’s lunch, who is able to turn water into wine, who is able to give life to that which is dead, etc.

Finances Shouldn’t Define How We Function as a Church

We must be careful not to let finances limit the way we function as a Church. Let’s remember that it is the greatness of our God that makes a difference, not the size of our bank accounts. It is His power that enables us to do that which counts for eternity not the money we have to fund the ministry. It is His ability to “do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us” (Eph. 3:20) that defines the possibilities, not how much money we have or don’t have.

The Steering the Church Toward God’s Power Leadership Guide examines what we may find ourselves saying about finances and our ability to do ministry versus what God says. It also looks at 24 other leadership tasks and responsibilities in light of God’s power.
