Financial Purpose Academy by Build Until

Financial Purpose Academy01

Before we begin

Why we are here

Free, faith-based education with no sales pitch in the room.
Nobody shares a number they don't want to share.
Grace first. Then we open the statements.

Read this out loud, word for word

Financial Purpose Academy is free faith-based education. No products are offered or sold in the room, and no one is recruited. It is not tax, legal or investment advice. The complimentary strategy session is optional and is with a licensed financial professional, who may earn a commission if you later choose to buy a product through them. You are never obligated to buy anything. The church receives no compensation.

The kitchen table

They're already
in this room

The single mom

At the kitchen table after the kids are asleep, moving the same three bills around.

The couple

They used to dream out loud. They don't bring up money anymore.

The man in the third row

Sings every Sunday. Hasn't told a soul how far behind he is.

The pastor

Hears all of it in the hallway and the parking lot, and prays with them.

Financial Purpose Academy03

Why we're really here

God didn't call us to just
be at peace with our money.
He called us to walk in purpose,
with a peace that surpasses
all understanding.

Philippians 4:7

Financial Purpose Academy04

Luke 19:11

The story
Jesus told

As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God's Kingdom would be revealed immediately.

Luke 19:11 · WEB

Financial Purpose Academy05

Everybody started the same

One mina each

Ten servants. Ten coins. In this story the difference is not how much they had. The difference is what they did with it.

Financial Purpose Academy06

Do business with this
until I come back.

Luke 19:13 · NASB 1995

The heart of the course. Jesus tells the whole parable in Luke 19:11-27
to people who thought the kingdom was about to appear right away.

Financial Purpose Academy07

He came back

When he had come back again, having received the kingdom,
he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money,
to be called to him, that he might know
what they had gained by conducting business.

Luke 19:15 · WEB

The master comes back and calls his servants in. That is the accountability in the story.

Financial Purpose Academy08

Well done

The reward Jesus
names is responsibility

"Faithful with very little" led to cities to care for. This is a faithfulness story, not a get rich story.

Financial Purpose Academy09

The third servant

for I feared you,
because you are an exacting man.

Luke 19:21 · WEB

He says it himself. He hid what he was given, then blamed the master.

Financial Purpose Academy10

The hard edge, and the cross

But bring those enemies of mine
who didn't want me to reign over them here,
and kill them before me.

Luke 19:27 · WEB

Verse 27 is about people who rejected the king. Jesus is serious. And the same Jesus went on to Jerusalem to die for us.

Financial Purpose Academy11

What counts as a mina

Money is not
the whole mina

Time

The hours you've been given.

Gifts and skills

What you can do that others can't.

Income

What comes in, however much it is.

What I own

The house, the car, the tools.

People

The ones God put near you.

Open doors

What's in front of you right now.

Let's pray

Father, everything we have came from You. Show us what's in our hands, take the fear out of looking, and make us faithful with what You trusted us with. In Jesus's name.
