Send us Fan MailWhere is Your Treasure? Questions Jesus Wants Answered - Pt 1Springcreek Church | Senior Pastor Keith StewartSunday, March 20, 2022In the sermon on the mount, Jesus gets real about money and possessions. In particular, He wants to know in what and in whom are we placing our security. According to Jesus, there really are only two ways to live – as if it all depends on us or as if it all depends on God. What we strive for in the pursuit of money can be ours without the anxiety, worry or stress. He promises we’ll have all we truly need if we learn how to trust Him.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. Discuss or write about why money is such a sensitive subject. How have you personally been wounded around money issues? In light of all of that, why do you think Jesus spends so much time talking about money? What did you find particularly challenging about today’s message?2. Since treasures are not about having or not having money, but instead about our attitude toward possessions, what are some things people treasure that have nothing to do with money? Kent Hughes said, “If anything in this world is everything to you, it is an earthly treasure.” What have been the treasures that at some point were all important to you?3. Our heart and our treasures are bound together. Instinctively we seem to know this because we all know what it’s like to love something dearly and as a result, pour a great deal of time, energy and money into it. In other words, our treasure followed our heart. Name something like that in your life. Now consider what Jesus said. The opposite is also true, your treasure leads your heart. What becomes all important, whatever you invest in heavily, your heart invariably follows. Describe something like that in your life.4. Jesus spent time talking about the difference between good and bad investments when it comes to treasures. He reminded us that on Earth, the things we store up are subject to decay or theft. In Heaven, what we store up is not subjected to those same forces. What are some of the lessons you have learned in regard to the limitations of Earthly treasures?5. If your heart were to be buried in the place you loved most in life, where would it be?Download and use the SPRINGCREEK CHURCH APP for interactive message notes, online giving, events, and so much more!
