I teach the kindergarten class every other month at Westview and since this is not my month to teach I have recently signed up for a finance class at our church. I will be attending the finance class on the months were I do not teach and obviously I will teach when it is my month. The class is study the "Treasure Principle" as class designed by Crown Financial. The class is based of Matthew 13:44 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field." The purpose of the class is show how storing up treasures in heaven is the best financial policy. By tithing and giving of our resources and time we can build up treasures in heaven rather than watch them parish on earth.
We watched the video and went through the booklet that comes with the class and discussed what suprised us in the video. The video stated that even though we can not take our wealth with to heaven we can send it ahead of us. This kind of surprised me and others in my class the idea of sending our possesions ahead of us. I believed that it was meaning we should give and by givning to the Kingdom we are "sending" it ahead of us. So fare I really like the class and am looking forward to the rest of the class.
