MANAGING THE FAMILY BUSINESS
Managing the Franchise
Think about it—every believer is like a franchise owner. Each of us manages a part of God’s family business. The Owner provides the vision, the guidelines, and the resources. Our role? To be wise, faithful managers of what He’s entrusted to us.
Have you ever thought of your life that way? Your time, your talents, your finances—every part of your daily life—is a piece of God’s greater kingdom work.
Act Your Wage
As part of God’s great enterprise, each of us has been entrusted with a “franchise” — our life, our time, and our resources. The question is: are we managing them well, or are they managing us?
Too many people let money take the driver’s seat. We’re tempted to serve it, even love it. But God calls us to something better — to make our money serve us as we serve Him.
Watch and uncover three essential values and three practical habits that will help you make your money behave and bring it under God’s direction.
Profit Sharing
As we continue our stewardship series, Minding the Family Business, we’ll discover what it really means to “share the profits” — in a Kingdom sense. God invites us to participate in His work through giving. Tithing isn’t just a duty; it’s an act of trust that opens the door for His blessing and provision.
When we return the tithe to the Lord, we acknowledge that everything we have comes from Him — and we invite Him to bless our family franchise in His business.
The Buck Starts Here
We conclude our series, “Minding the Family Business” — and we’re looking ahead to the future of the “franchise” God has entrusted to each of us.
How should followers of Jesus think about the future? And why does it matter?
Two powerful practices — saving and investing — are often overlooked or dismissed as “not possible for me.” But God has a lot to say about preparing wisely for what’s ahead… even pointing us to one of the smallest creatures on earth as our teacher!
Join us for an encouraging and practical message as we discover what it means to learn from the ant and steward tomorrow with faith today.
