If there’s one thing we’ve learned, you can’t trust in material things to come through for you. Chip reveals how to rise above the daily grind and escape the rat race forever.
The root problem in priority living according to Jesus is MATERIALISM.
Matthew 6:1-18
- Two motives
- Two treasures
- Two eyes
- Two masters
Summary: Do not allow the pursuit of material things to thwart your spiritual development.
Question:
- How can we live in a material world without becoming materialistic? -Matthew 6:24-34
The symptom:
- Anxiety is the mark of a life preoccupied with material things.
The explanation: Stop your preoccupation with material things because...
- It's short-sighted –Matthew 6:25b
- It's illogical –Matthew 6:28-30
- It's unprofitable –Matthew 6:27
- It's disgraceful to God –Matthew 6:30-32
The promise:
- If you will pursue knowing Christ and making Him known as your first priority, He will meet all your material needs. -Matthew 6:33-34
Application: Questions to Ponder
- Are you "spending" or "investing" your life?
- Is your life making a significant difference in the lives of others?
- Do you live under "pressure" or under "priorities"?
- Do your time, talent, and treasure reflect that pursuing Christ and making Him known is your #1 priority?
