Luke 12:34 – “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

 

For Where Your Treasure Is, There Your Heart Will Be

 

James 1:22 – “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”

1. A Misplaced leads to to Misguided

Proverbs 4:23 – “Guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

 

Luke 12:16-21 – And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

2. A Treasure is not , it’s .

Mark 10:21-22 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.”

3. A Eternal focus earthly living

 

Colossians 3:2 – “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”

 

Mathew 6:19-21 – “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.”
