Part 1 - Letting Go of Stuff


Luke 2:4-5 And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child. (NLT)

Matthew 19:20-22 “I’ve obeyed all these commandments,” the young man replied. “What else must I do?”
Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he had many possessions. (NLT)

I am not what I

—What I —What I —What I

1 . Change our value

It’s better to have

of what does matter and of what doesn’t.

Culture’s deception: What you

have is what you need to be , fulfilled, complete!

Luke 12:15 Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.” (NLT)

2 . Change our source of

Psalm 119:36-37 Give me an eagerness for your laws rather than a love for money! Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word. (NLT)

Ecclesiastes 4:6 Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind. (NIV)

Matthew 19:22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he had many possessions. (NLT)

You never know what is

you until Jesus asks you to give them up.

What if the stuff you have is

you of the life you want?

3 . Change our attitude on

treasure lies in the eternal

Matthew 1:19-21,24 Joseph, to whom she was engaged, was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly.
As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” …
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife. (NLT)

Sometimes, our greatest treasure comes in the most

and forms.

Are you accumulating on

what you cannot keep?
Or are you investing in what you cannot lose?
