SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2022

TEXT: Luke 12:13-21, 2 Cor 5:16

#Recap

1. Beware of Covetousness.

   #Covetousness is the unbridled, insatiable desire for things

   #Most people in life live for things

   Don't be so much in pursuit of things that you can sacrifice anything to get it.

   #The value of your life is not measured by the things you own.

   #Godliness without contentment will bring a lot of pressure and dissatisfaction.

   #If the little you have does not make you happy, even if God gives you the whole world you still will not be satisfied.

   #Covetous/Greedy people always have a hunger for what people have.

   #Your confidence should not be in things like good clothes. Latest shoe and phone. Because there will always be people who have the better version of these things.

   Covetous people are not thankful because they are never satisfied.

2. Beware of Selfishness

   #Only foolish people live a selfish life, don't leave yourself alone

   #Life was designed by God to look ahead, you have to look beyond yourself to make progress.

3. Lay Treasures in Heaven

   #You are as rich as your relationship with God

   #Don't only lay up treasures for yourself but be rich towards God

   #Place your relationship with God above anything else, it should be the foundation and most important thing in your life

   # every time you are a blessing to someone you are laying treasures in heaven Matt 6:21
