Corey has designed the following workshops to encourage the personal Christian growth of a church's members and community
Job Number One
Priorities for your first (or next!) day on the job, including: - Developing a God-honoring work ethic - Getting along with your boss - Spending...now that you've been paid
Firstfruits: God's Way of Giving
God designed an orderly plan for the Israelite family to respond to his abundant provision of myriad gifts. Moses' description of this sequence in Deuteronomy 26 offers a biblical pattern to understand God's way of giving. God gives to man; then, man responds to God's generosity by giving thanks to God, by giving to His work and His workers. Joyful Christians learn to follow this pattern that can be observed throughout Scripture.
Protecting Your Credit Testimony
The Scriptures offer principles regarding prudent and imprudent uses of debt, and warnings regarding business dealings with over indebted individuals. Christians need to understand the criteria with which their personal creditworthiness will be determined.
The Way of Those Who Are Greedy of Gain
Solomon warned his son to avoid the temptation of greed. The book of Proverbs reveals many “ways” that Christians are particularly susceptible to greed including looking out for number one, taking unreasonable risks, and falling prey to the paradoxes of greed.
Managing Your Financial Future
By employing three necessary ingredients of personal budgeting and benefiting from the time value of money in retirement and college education planning, Christian families prudently foresee the evil of not planning ahead and avoid the punishment ofthose who ignorantly fail to prepare.
Financial Motives and Management
What sort of “face” will be put on your financial motives and management? How can biblical perspectives of God-honoring financial motives and management enable a congregation to gain the commendation enjoyed by the Philippian church? Ananias and Sapphira represent faces of illegitimate financial motives and mocking financial management. In contrast, a study of the motives and management associated with Aquila and Priscilla illumines faces of genuine and mature Christian service in the local church.
A Biblical Worldview of Money and Wealth Building
How should a Christian define success? A biblical understanding of money and the accumulation of it protects believers from the unbalanced extremes of materialism on one hand and poor financial stewardship on the other.
