    • When your soul is called to judgement where will your treasure be?
      • Ephesians 1:7-10
    • Do you see all that Christ has given you?

        • We have all we really need in Christ
  • (1Ti 6:8 ESV) But if we have ______________ and ______________, with these we will be ______________.
    • We have already been given the most valuable gift of all in Christ.

    • Matthew 6:19-34, Eph 1:11-12

    • When our goal is piling up ______________
      • Getting more and more
    • We fall into ______________
      • In order to gain that wealth
      • At any cost
        • We must get more
    • A snare is a ______________ like we would set for a varmint
      • Baiting to be appealing, but holding a trick to lock them in once they fall for it.
        • Titus 3:3
    • While it is not wrong for someone to gain wealth, it is wrong for our heart’s ______________ to be weath.

    • Deuteronomy 8:10-18, Ephesians 1:13-21, 
  • (1Ti 6:10 ESV) For the love of ______________ is a ______________ of all kinds of evils. It is through this ______________ that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many ______________.
    • It is through this craving
      • The craving for more
      • The drive to gain

        • We get wrapped up in the world and wander from faith that should be central.
    • Matthew 19:16-26
    • Ephesians chapter 1 – 
      • Read this daily this week
