After completing 3 of 4 fall workshops I have been riding high, enjoying God’s blessings!  When I went to church yesterday and my pastor delivered a great sermon, I would like to outline it for you!  I hope you are as blessed as I was;

 

Where are your treasures?

 

Jesus talks about two kinds of treasures

 

Earthly, that can be attacked by moth, rust and thieves.

 

Heavenly, and we get them by Trusting God, Doing good works, and sharing generously with others.

 

Jesus teaches us that treasure is connected to three things; Our heart, Our mind, and Our will.

 

The Apostle Paul said, “For me to live is Christ”  Complete this:  For me to live is:______

for me I said Serving Him.

 

Those who place Jesus first should not worry because they  understand seven things:

 

1.  What life consists of.  (Matthew 6:25)

2. Their value to God.  (Matthew 6:26)

3.  Worry is totally useless (Matthew 6:27)

4.  Power and wealth will not give them what they need  (Matthew 6:29)

5.  Worry reflects the character of the unbeliever.  (Matthew 6:22)

6.  Worry keeps us from making God number one.  (Matthew 6:33)

7.  Worry keeps us from dealing with today.  (Matthew 6:34)

 

Instead of worrying we should (a) focus on God, (b) Put God first!

 

When we make Jesus the Lord of our Lives we have the following at our disposal:

God’s Presence, His Possessions, His Power, His Peace and His Prosperity!

 

Put your Faith in God.

 

Be filled with his peace.

 

Blessings,
