Lord, thank you so much just for your, Your kindness, to us. I know you've been good to me this morning, we're having to get up early to come down here. Lord, I just felt your presence and I just, pray we would just continue, to trust in you. Lord, you've given us treasure and the, the amazing thing is you've given us treasure, to grow us and I just pray that we, this morning, we could, learn together.
just how to be better stewards of that treasure that we might, we might grow closer. To you and experience your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.
All right. Let's, let's get this going. a couple of things, just want to remind you that this class is part of the Equipping for the Journey series. I'm not gonna do the full introduction I did last time, but what we're trying to do with Equipping for the journey series is here at Cornerstone, we, our whole goal is to help people move from brokenness to wholeness through the gospel of Jesus Christ, and we're trying to create a series of classes.
To do two things. One is to help people move, to, to have classes that focus on areas of brokenness, and then, and, and by taking the class, hopefully you will move more towards wholeness and then secondly, to get Get, to help other, help us to help others, an equipping class, equipping the saints for the work of ministry and here at Cornerstone, the work of the ministry is defined as helping people move from brokenness to wholeness. So that's the idea, that's where the class fits in to the greater scheme of things. Yeah, I wanna give you, I don't know how many of you have been working, are first-time budgeters or longtime budgeters or, or whatever....
