The Bible Story of Money and Giving
The Bible teaches that possessions and money are connected to the heart.
In the Parable of the Talents, a master gave different amounts of money to his servants before leaving on a journey. Two servants used what they had been given wisely, but one servant hid his talent in the ground. This story teaches children that God wants His people to be faithful with what they have been given.
Jesus also told the Parable of the Rich Fool. A man had such a good harvest that he decided to tear down his barns and build bigger ones to store everything for himself. But instead of being rich toward God, he trusted in his possessions. This story teaches that life is not about storing up earthly treasure.
In the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, Jesus described a rich man who ignored a poor man named Lazarus at his gate. This story reminds children that wealth should never make us blind to the needs of others.
Another important story is the Widow’s Mite. Jesus watched people giving offerings at the temple and noticed a poor widow who gave two very small coins. Jesus said that she had given more than all the others because she gave out of her poverty, while they gave out of their abundance.
The Bible says:
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
— Matthew 6:21
These stories help children understand that God cares not only about what we have, but about how we use it and what our hearts value most.
