Churchresource - Guide for Churches
Many churches are concerned about the increasing financial pressures and personal debt problems among their own membership or within the community in which they serve. Jesus' teaching to 'love your neighbour' and to help the poor and needy is well known but we are often unsure what to do, how to do it or where to start.
This booklet sets out the various options, ranging from the very simple to the more elaborate, available to churches wishing to help people. It is written by Gordon Cook of Credit Action and Heather Keates, Head of Community Money Advice
'Your Money Counts'
Produced by the Family Matters initiative and Credit Action , this is a six week, practical course with an additional week looking at what the bible says about money. A really valuable resource for outreach within your community. A must for everyone who wants to feel more confident about handling money.
'Street Parables'
Often we read the parables of Jesus but fail to understand fully the depth of what he is saying to us through them. These lively and entertaining re-tellings of Jesus' parables help us understand what Jesus was teaching us by putting his stories within a twenty-first-century setting. Each of the twenty-five chapters features a re-telling of an original parable and is accompanied by an insightful commentary from Keith, with practical application for our lives today. They cover subjects such as forgiveness, prayer, perseverance, debt, spending time with God, love and being a good neighbour.
This valuable resource is ideal for individual or group study. It will help us become better acquainted with Jesus' teachings and apply the principles learned to our lives.
