God's Treasure Map (Part 3)

Passage: Matthew 6:19-24

Preacher: Tim Badal

Series:Live to Give

Summary:

Christian stewardship is about more than the money we drop into the collection plate. Stewardship is everything we do after we say we believe.

Detail:

Finding God's treasure involves...

1. Exploring the prevailing thoughts regarding our things.

   These thoughts can head towards two extremes:

  • Poverty
  • Prosperity

   True stewardship views our possessions:

  • Properly

2. Employing two persuasive tests that reveal our thoughts.

  • The test of durability
  • The test of devotion

3. Entering the pathway to real treasure.

   This pathway involves:

  • Stopping our pitiful preoccupations
  • Setting proper priorities
  • Seeking personal purity
  • Seeing God's promised prosperity
