The Good Life: Money
Core 52 Chapter: 21
Money is uniquely
Mark 4:19 — The deceitfulness of riches … chokes the Word
Money is uniquely
I Timothy 6:9-10 — Fall into temptation / trapped / ruin & destruction / root of all kinds of evil / wandered from the true faith / pierced themselves with many sorrows
Matthew 6:19-34 NLT
Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be … No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money. That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life — whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear … So don’t worry about these things … These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
Jesus wants your
Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be
Don’t worry about these things
Money stuff is really
He will give you everything you need
Store your treasures in Heaven
Your heart for money
No one can serve two masters
To experience the Good Life you must
You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money
So how do I manage my money God’s Way?

• 10 — 10 — 80

Matthew 6:20 — Store your treasures in Heaven
• Use your money to increase the population of Heaven
- Trust your Source
Philippians 4:18-19 — I have all I need, and more! … And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
• Never forget: God owns it all. And He is your Father!
