Sermon: Treasure
Scripture: Malachi 3:13-18
Summary: Treasure. We all have something we value most which informs the way we live. What is mind blowing is what happens when we make God our greatest treasure - we become his treasured possession! That is incredible.
For Reflection and Discussion
Read Scripture: Malachi 3:13-18
- Read v13-15. When have you served the Lord and had the nagging thought that you weren’t getting anything out of it? How did you manage it? What did you do with it?
- This was one of the quotes from the sermon on Sunday:
Whenever you swap out God as your greatest treasure and put yourself in his place, you will either abandon him or you will criticise him because he is not wrapping himself around you the way you think he should.
Have you ever seen this dynamic in your life? What was going on? - Read v16. What is the fear of the Lord?
- Here’s one definition of the fear of the Lord:
Let the greatness of God inform the way you relate to him. What is God like and how should we relate to him?
- What is your true treasure at the moment? How does what you fear and honour point to it?
- Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. What would change in your life if you lived ongoingly in the light of the last day when it is made clear to all that you are his treasured possession?
