“When Our priorities are solely focused on this earth, our spiritual state will follow the pattern of this world's up and downs.”

Luke 12:13-21

13 Then someone called from the crowd, “Teacher, please tell my brother to divide our father’s estate with me.”

14 Jesus replied, “Friend, who made me a judge over you to decide such things as that?” 15 Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.”

16 Then he told them a story: “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops. 17 He said to himself, ‘What should I do? I don’t have room for all my crops.’ 18 Then he said, ‘I know! I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll have room enough to store all my wheat and other goods. 19 And I’ll sit back and say to myself, “My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!”’

20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?’

21 “Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.”

Whose Kingdom Are You Building?

Matthew 6:19-21

19 “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. 21 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.

“Giving, tithing, and generosity has never been a money issue, it’s been a heart issue.” 

Does the statement, “We’ve been learning to live with less, so we can be generous with more,” resonate with you?

On Sunday Dylan talked about the idea that our home is in heaven with Christ; which means that we should be more secure with our possessions/finances? Do you live this way?

Luke 12:13-21: Jesus shares how this man is foolish because he was not “prepping for eternity.” Do you live a life that is prepping for eternity? If so, how? And if not, what is something you can be better at?

Matthew 6:19-21: Read these verses. What do they mean to you? Can these verses be applied to everything in our life? In other words, whose kingdom are you building?

“Giving, tithing, and generosity has never been a money issue, it’s been a heart issue.” What do you think about this statement? 

When Jesus becomes Lord of our lives, that means He is Lord over all. Yet, we keep the door of finances/generosity locked. Why? 

If we were to leave this earth today, what would you be remembered for?

Dylan encouraged you to find a church or charity that you absolutely believed in, and give to that cause. What do you think about this?

Take a moment to pray and share your burdens with one another. Also pray for our world to find Jesus. There is a lot of division, and that is not from God. Pray that we can seek Him and be better representatives of Jesus. Amen.
