Balance: Who Do I Trust?

BALANCE: WHO DO I TRUST?

Pastor Aaron Sutherland

Acts 20:35 

"It is more blessed to give than to receive."

Luke 12:15

“Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”

1. GIVING ESTABLISHES WHAT I VALUE

Matthew 6:19-24

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

2. GIVING ESTABLISHES HOW I SEE

Matthew 6:22-23

"The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!"

3. GIVING ESTABLISHES WHO I TRUST

 Matthew 6:24

"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money."
