 <\/p>\n

After completing 3 of 4 fall workshops I have been riding high, enjoying God’s blessings!\u00a0 When I went to church yesterday and my pastor delivered a great sermon, I would like to outline it for you!\u00a0 I hope you are as blessed as I was;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where are your treasures?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jesus talks about two kinds of treasures<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Earthly, that can be attacked by moth, rust and thieves.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Heavenly, and we get them by Trusting God, Doing good works, and sharing generously with others.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jesus teaches us that treasure is connected to three things; Our heart, Our mind, and Our will.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Apostle Paul said, “For me to live is Christ”\u00a0 Complete this:\u00a0 For me to live is:______<\/p>\n

for me I said Serving Him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Those who place Jesus first should not worry because they\u00a0 understand seven things:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 What life consists of.\u00a0 (Matthew 6:25)<\/p>\n

2. Their value to God.\u00a0 (Matthew 6:26)<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Worry is totally useless (Matthew 6:27)<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Power and wealth will not give them what they need\u00a0 (Matthew 6:29)<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Worry reflects the character of the unbeliever.\u00a0 (Matthew 6:22)<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Worry keeps us from making God number one.\u00a0 (Matthew 6:33)<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Worry keeps us from dealing with today.\u00a0 (Matthew 6:34)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Instead of worrying we should (a) focus on God, (b) Put God first!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When we make Jesus the Lord of our Lives we have the following at our disposal:<\/p>\n

God’s Presence, His Possessions, His Power, His Peace and His Prosperity!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Put your Faith in God.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Be filled with his peace.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
