Jesus & Possessions

Read Matthew 6:19-24

“It’s great to possess things as long as they don’t end up possessing you” ~Asil Treblig

1. Do not hoard earthly treasures. (v. 19)

· They don’t last.

· They are not secure.

2. Do hoard Heavenly treasures. (v. 20)

· They do last.

· They are secure.

3. Your heart is with your treasure. (v. 21)

· Jesus was just a visitor here and so are we.

· Jesus was Kingdom minded and others focused.

· Are you living life with your hands open?

· Are you growing your account in Heaven?
