Managing Your Money (5 of 7)
Series: Wisdom for the Family
Jim Perdue
Proverbs 13:1-25
Intro/Attention
This morning, we continue a sermon series I entitled Wisdom for the Family. The Book of Proverbs is full of powerful and practical principles for everyday living. Today, we're going to look at Proverbs 13 where we discover principles for managing our finances.
