The Effect of Materialism It confuses us v.21 It distracts us v It enslaves us v.24 It suffocates us Mark 4:19 Are we really too busy to serve God? Maybe God will arrange for us to have more time

Putting God First Matthew 6:33 Believe in God “wait on the Lord” Psalm 37 Take time to talk to Him Philippians 4:6-7 Take time to listen to Him Psalm 1:2 Lay up treasures in heaven v.21 Seek heavenly things Colossians 3:1-4 Do good with what God has given Luke 18:22 We prioritize based upon our value system

What Is Most Important Matthew 6:33 We show it by how we spend our money We show it by how we spend our time We show it by what/whom we think about the most We show it by what we talk about the most What does God consider the most important? John 3:16, Romans 5:8, 2 Peter 3:9, Acts 2:36-38
