Title: *OVERCOMING FINANCIAL DEBT*
Text: Luke 16:10-12
Introduction:
It’s my prayer that this message will bless you and provide strength and direction for living in the freedom that God intended for us.
Mortgage payment, house insurance, car insurance, health insurance, phone bill, utilities bill, garbage bill, car payment, magazine subscription, retirement payment, credit card, doctor bills…on and on it goes…*I hate debt!* *It takes the JOY out of life if you have too much debt!
It turns you into a SLAVE!*
/Tonight I want to show you how to overcome that slavery, and how to live in financial freedom…and by the way, these principles are true no matter HOW MUCH money you make!/
