Bottom Line:

God's financial plan is bigger than dollars and cents.
1. Identify what is temporary.
2. Invest in what is eternal.
3. The result will be a changed heart.
START TALKING

When have you had something happen to you financially, whether it was positive or negative, but the impact was about a lot more than just the dollars and cents? What was the true impact that you felt and why?
START THINKING

Read Genesis 41:35-36, Malachi 3:10, and Deuteronomy 28:10. How do these verses help you better understand the concept of storing and of the "storehouse" that we see in scripture? How does this help you better understand what we are told not to do and to do in Matthew 6:19-20.

What are some examples that prove Matthew 6:21 true in every day life? Where have you seen people's hearts follow their treasure and vice versa?
START SHARING

How does Matthew 6:19 give some guidelines to help us determine was is temporary? How does this align with Mark 8:36? If you are honest, what are some temporary things that you may spend more time storing up than you realize? How do you balance the tension between what is necessary to have in life, even if it is temporary, versus working hard to store those things up, which Jesus said not to do!

What are some ways that you have found you can store up treasure in heaven as Matthew 6:20 says to do. What changes did you notice happen in your life and in your relationship with Jesus when you follow this command?

When have you seen your heart follow your treasure and your treasure follow your heart like Jesus said in Matthew 6:21? If someone didn't know you and they looked at your bank account to see how you spend money and they looked at your calendar to see how you spend time, what would they be able to tell about what is most important to you? Would what they find illustrate that your faith and relationship with Jesus is most important to you?
START DOING

What do you sense the Holy Spirit is telling you to do so that you can obey these two commands from this passage:

1. Don't store up temporary treasures.
2. Do store up eternal treasures.

How will you know when this is happening? What markers will you see present in your life?

How will doing this help you to live on mission where you live, work, and play? How will this open up opportunities for your to share your story and have spiritual conversations?
START PRAYING

Pray for the steps that each person in the micro church committed to take in the section above. Commit to holding each other accountable to doing what Jesus said to do in this passage. Pray that it opens up opportunity for each person to experience Jesus more deeply while allowing each of us more opportunity to share our faith stories with those far from God.
