Live without debt
“What could the people of God do for the kingdom of God if they were debt free?”
It is a question worth considering and one that moves closer to an answer for those who take part in Troy First Baptist Church’s offering of Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University. In this fun and entertaining 13-week course, students will learn how to:
• make a budget they will understand and actually use;
• get out of debt and stay that way;
• communicate with their spouses about finances;
• invest with confidence:
• change their financial futures.
The congregation is issuing an invitation for those who are interested to join them for a brief video class preview Sunday from 5-6 p.m.
