Workshop E · Obedience and Finances — Pastor Tommy Cash Sr.

Session Overview

This session examines the theological and practical relationship between obedience to God and financial stewardship in the life of the believer. Drawing from John 2:5 and supported by biblical narratives, the class contends that financial obedience centers on trust, surrender, and alignment with God's will rather than monetary concerns. Participants will analyze how Scripture consistently frames finances as a testing ground for faith, in which obedience frequently precedes provision. Through examples such as the widow at Zarephath and the early church in Acts, the session will demonstrate that God employs financial decisions to cultivate spiritual maturity, reveal the disposition of the heart, and further His kingdom purposes. The class will address contemporary challenges such as financial pressures, skepticism toward church financial teachings, and pervasive materialism. Through theological reflection, case studies, and practical frameworks, participants will be equipped to teach, exemplify, and practice financial obedience with integrity, clarity, and conviction. By the conclusion of the session, participants will be able to articulate a biblically grounded theology of stewardship, identify obstacles to financial obedience, and formulate strategies for guiding others toward faithful and obedient financial practices.
