When Good Things Become God: Money | November 19, 2023Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor\nMark 10:17-23 (NIV)As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. \u201cGood teacher,\u201d he asked, \u201cwhat must I do to inherit eternal life?\u201d \u201cWhy do you call me good?\u201d Jesus answered. \u201cNo one is good\u2014except God alone. You know the commandments: \u2018You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.\u2019 \u201d \u201cTeacher,\u201d he declared, \u201call these I have kept since I was a boy.\u201d Jesus looked at him and loved him. \u201cOne thing you lack,\u201d he said. \u201cGo, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.\u201d At this the man\u2019s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, \u201cHow hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!\u201d\n1 Timothy 6:9-10 (NIV)Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.\n1. Jealousy\n2. Anxiety\n3. Community\n4. Generosity\n2 Corinthians 8:8-9 (NIV)I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.\nColossians 3:1-4 (NIV)Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.\nNext Steps:\nComplete the Connect Card to receive more information, have us pray for you, or to ask us any question: http://journeybozeman.com/connectcard\nWant to worship through giving and support the ministry of Journey Church: https://journeybozeman.com/giveDownload our app: https://journeybozeman.com/app Join our Facebook Group to stay connected throughout the week: https://facebook.com/groups/JourneyChurchBozemanGet your children connected to our children's ministry, Base Camp: https://journeybozeman.com/childrenOur Student Ministry is for High School and Middle School students: https://journeybozeman.com/studentsSubscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/JourneyChurchBozemanNotes Page: https://journeybozeman.com/sermons/notes/2023.11.19.pdf
