Exponential: True Treasure

There's a fundamental connection between our spiritual life and how we handle our stuff. Lk 3, 19:8-10, Acts 2, 4. When our hearts are affected by Jesus, we will pour out generosity upon others.
1. 1 Timothy 6:17. Put your hope in God, not in your wealth. The main competitor for your heart is going to be your money.
2. 1 Timothy 6:18. Rich people should be good-er and generous-er. Always have your eyes open looking for opportunities to give to others.
3. 1 Timothy 6:17-19. We should view our riches in light of eternity. The motivation for our generosity should be eternal life. Lk 12:13-21 You leave it all behind when you die, so we should be rich towards God. Mt 6:19-21
