What are some practical ways we can invest our earthly treasure in heaven. II. Why Are You Anxious? (25-32) "FOR THIS REASON.'

Jim Elliot" __________________________ Responsive reading: "Keep our frailty before us. Lord : that we might set our hearts on you. Psalm 89:47 - 52 Remember, Lord, how short life is :how frail you have made all flesh. Who can live and not see death? :who can save himself from the power of the grave? Where, Lord, are your loving-kindnesses of old: which you promised David in your faithfulness? Remember, Lord, how your servant is mocked :how I carry in my bosom the taunts of many peoples, the taunts your enemies have hurled O Lord : which they hurled at the heels of your anointed. Blessed be the Lord for evermore! : Amen, I say, Amen. Keep our frailty before us, Lord: that we might set our hearts on you. Holỷ Spirit, Guide us in the imprint of Christ's footsteps to pursue justice, counting our neighbors' welfare to be as important as our own. Amen" _______________________ " "THINK ON THIS: PRIORITIES (Matthew 6:21) Confucius: "Wherever you go, go with all your heart,'' encouraging full presence and compassion in every action. Jesus: "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also," suggesting your priorities reveal your true values. whether earthly or heavenly. The phrase signifies that your true self and source of belonging are tied to what you cherish most, whether it's a person, a memory, or a spiritual connection. Your focus, desires, and values (your "heart") will naturally go to what you treasure most, whether it's earthly wealth or heavenly riches, guiding your actions and priorities. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God" Matthew 6:33 (KJV), meaning to prioritize spiritual pursuits, God's rule, and righteousness above worldly concerns, with the promise that essential needs will be provided; it's a call to reorder life's priorities by focusing on God's will, developing a deep desire for Him through prayer and Scripture, and trusting He will meet your physical and emotional needs." ______________________ " "Family Training Hour: How to survive the end of the world" Mark 13 Our culture is obsessed with the end of the world. Some have a theory as to how it will happen -- zombie apocalypse, alien invasion, Jesus comes back. Others have a plan for exactly when and where they think it will all go down. Does the imminent approach of the end of the world make you uneasy or fearful? Why or why not? Who is Jesus to you and how is that affecting how you live your life? How does listening to the Holy Spirit and reading the Bible help us live our lives now and not just in the end times?"
