The Golden Calf Exodus 24:12-18 and the Christian

The Golden Calf A Golden Calf is constructed Exodus 32:1-6 Recognize when it comes (v1) Recognize where it comes from (v1) Recognize who wants it (Vs2-4) Recognize what it is (v4) Recognize how it changes your life (v6)

The Financial Treasure Key Matthew 6:19-21 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

The Financial Treasure Key The treasure of Matthew 6:19-21 Money, wealth, and materialism are cancers Christians have bought into the philosophy of the need for more Jesus has another plan for us! “Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.” ---- Will Rogers

Materialism and the Rich Fool Luke 12:13-21 Our Problem Wanting more than we already have A Warning Fight against greed is a constant struggle The Truth Who we are is much more important than what we have!

Parable’s Application Lessons We already have more than we think we do “the ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully” Greed will never allow us to be satisfied The more we get, the more we want Once it has a grip, it is difficult to escape

Parable’s Application Lessons No matter how much we get, we can’t take it with us Why invest so much passion in getting things? God has a much better investment plan God has other priorities for us – Replace: Selfishness with selflessness Stuff with people Our own desires with the kingdom of God

When we are CONTENTED Christians, then…. Conclusion 1 Timothy 6:6-12 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. (6-8) When we are CONTENTED Christians, then…. We will grow Our families will grow The church will grow
