Sermon: Greed

Yesterday Aaron spoke on the commandment "Do not steal". He applied this to us by talking about a heart focused on "it's all mine" versus a generous heart.

A generous heart isn't a quick fix, but a strategy from Matthew 6:19-23 might be:
1. Stop the stuff -- everything ends up in a garage sale (or an estate sale); store up treasures in heaven.

2. Invest our hearts -- when we re-allocate our money we re-locate our heart.
a. Percentage -- tithe plus
b. Priority -- first fruits
c. Progression -- a progressive percentage

"spending money like we give and giving money like we spend"
