Financial Peace - Spring 2008
How would you feel if you had NO DEBT and a solid plan for what to do with your money each month? Would you make different choices? Have different priorities?
Poor financial decisions steal peace of mind and destroy relationships. Proverbs 22:7 teaches us that "The borrower is servant to the lender."
Many people find themselves slaves to debt, struggling to make ends meet each month. Luke 8:14 describes this condition as being "choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life."
The vision of Financial Peace University is two-fold:
* To TRANSFORM our society, giving families HOPE to find the PEACE and FREEDOM that comes from financial responsibility
* To find an everlasting peace through a relationship with the "Prince of Peace," Christ Jesus.
Sunday nights beginning February 10, First Baptist Nashville is going to provide a 13-week video series on Financial Peace, featuring nationally syndicated radio host, Dave Ramsey. You are invited to participate in these dynamic sessions featuring practical steps to strengthen your financial life.
Each family’s kit costs $93 (includes a life-time family membership (attend classes anywhere, anytime for no extra charge), Workbook containing all 13 lessons, Budgeting forms, Envelope system, All 13 lessons on CD).
