“Good News, Bad News”
2
“Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.” 1 Timothy 6:17-19

The challenge is, if we don’t feel rich, then we’ll never learn how to act rich, so we’ll continue to try to get rich, and you won’t recognize that you already are rich, and so you will never learn how to be rich. In this series, we are going to learn how to be rich.

THE GOOD NEWS IS: YOU’RE RICH! “Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work-this is a gift of God.” Ecclesiastes 5:19
5
IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE GOOD AT BEING RICH, YOU HAVE TO FIRST ADMIT YOU ARE RICH.
6
“GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH MORE THAN I NEED. I’M RICH!”
7
THE BAD NEWS IS: YOU’RE RICH!

"How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Luke 18:24-25

IT IS HARDER FOR YOU TO DEPEND ON GOD.
10
IT DISTRACTS YOU FROM TRUE PRIORITIES.

In NC, Sunday hunting was legalized last year for archery only. I did all my prep-work... I scouted the area all summer... I searched out the best location for my tree- stand... I set it all up a month ahead of time.. I trailed the herd... I picked out a trophy buck... Two days before opening day I rechecked every aspect of the hunt...
12
Everything was in place... Sunday morning, I woke up at 2 am... I put on my camo, loaded my pack, set out for my stand... This was destined to be an epic hunt.. As I approached my deer stand...
13
I changed my mind, decided to go to church instead.
14
YOU HAVE A GREATER RESPONSIBILITY.
