Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Mt 6:33

But godliness actually is a means of great gain, when accompanied by contentment. For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. And if we have food and covering, with these we shall be content. 1 Tim 6:6-8

For the love of money is the root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many a pang. 1 Tim 6:10

Contentment…Refraining from envy are learned abilities. They will not come naturally. If you’re a child of God, you have all you need. If you’re not a child of God, you don’t have what is most important.

Our goal in worship is to… …render to God the praise He is due …thank Christ for what He did …teach & admonish one another …remind each other of what really matters
