Series: Financial Fitness: Wisdom from Proverbs

Proverbs 3:1-2
Money excites us and it also worries us. We work for it, spend it, give it, and even save some of it for a rainy day. And like our physical fitness, we seldom are really comfortable with our finances. The goal of this series is to whip us into Financial Fitness. You received two items as a part of this new sermon series inside your worship guide this morning. In the coming weeks, we'll tale about How Wise People Build Wealth, as well as Three Attitudes of the Financially Fit, and Three Habits of the Financially Fit. You'll received a weekly handout that encourages you to take the conversation home as part of our Faith at Home series. Resources are available all this month in our Faith at Home resource room. Also, you received an anonymous commitment card - we'd ask you to prayerfully reflect where you are throughout today's message.
Introduction to Proverbs

In front of him are the great themes of Proverbs ... wisdom and folly, life and death, right vs. wrong. Proverbs will serve as a father to us where we'll hear our dad's voice (or the dad we wish we'd had ) teaching and training on the danger, the value, and the limits of money.
Let's do a thought experiment for a moment. Think with me about a room full of people where each person is a stoplight. Imagine with me, this morning, if you're a stoplight. Your face shows one of three colors, red, yellow, or green, in response to the message. As a pastor, I can talk about faith, love, and forgiveness ... and all I see is green. But for many, the very moment I mention finances all I see i ...
