    Laying Up Treasures

    Contributed by Paul George on Jun 9, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,388 views

    A preoccupation with hoarding earthly treasure makes little practical sense. Eternal investments, investments in the kingdom of heaven, are far more profitable. They are certain, and the benefits long lasting. Earthly investments are short-lived.

    Laying up Treasures Matthew 6:19-34 The Lord Jesus told the disciples, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do ...read more

    Do you own your possessions or do they own you? "Things" can take a toll on: The Heart-AFFECTIONS, The mind-PERCEPTIONS, The will-DIRECTIONS. Link included to formatted text, handout, and PowerPoint Presentation.

    Who Owns You? Matthew 6:19-24 We can divide life into 2 broad categories: the spiritual, and the material. But the Lord Jesus never made that distinction.

    To truly understand what is important in life requires one to have a grip on what is important. In our materialistic society, we think a plethora of possessions is important, but Jesus taught his disciples and teaches us differently.

    DISCOVERING YOUR GIFT (PART IX); GET A GRIP (GIFT OF POVERTY) MATTHEW 6:24-34 SOMETIMES YOU DON’T APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE, UNTIL YOU DON’T HAVE WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE APPRECIATED.
