Having established that money is not bad we will look at how we, as consumers, can use our buying power as a positive force for justice in the world. We’ll connect the fact that our consumerism and need for cheap products can have a potentially negative effect on others around the world, and we’ll respond to Jesus’ prophetic challenge to pursue justice and champion the poor.
This week we’ll look at how the power of consumerism in our culture can dominate our approach to money and cause us to spend more than we have on more than we need. We’ll consider how easy it is to get into overwhelming debt and how this can prevent us from enjoying life and being generous with others. We’ll also explore how we can turn this situation around.
We will take a practical look at how making money, spending it, saving it, and sharing it can all become a more positive force both for our own lives and for others. The aims of the series are that we would find hope and freedom from the burdens that money can impose on us and that we would all become greater sources of generosity and kindness in the world.
