A 3-Week series to help you develop the right priorities, perspective, and practice.

• If you woke up tomorrow with double the money you have right now, what’s the first thing you think you’d feel? Excited, overwhelmed, pressured, or something else? Why?

• Why do you think it’s so easy to believe that “just a little bit more” money would finally make life feel secure?
• Have you ever pursued something you thought would matter, only to realize later it didn’t? What happened?
• When have you seen money or material things get in the way of what really matters in life?

• Jesus contrasts storing treasure on earth vs. storing treasure in heaven. In practical terms, what does each one look like today?
• Verse 21 says, “Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” What does your current “treasure trail” reveal about your heart?
• Jesus uses the image of the eye as a lamp. How do your “focus points” (what you consistently look at, pursue, or dwell on) shape your spiritual life?
• Jesus ends by saying we cannot serve both God and money. What does divided loyalty look like in real life?

1. INVEST IN WHAT’S BEST.

• What would it look like for you to intentionally invest in things that last beyond this life?
• Proverbs 19:17 — “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord…”
• Hebrews 6:10 — God remembers the love you show by helping His people.

2. DON’T GET DISTRACTED.

• What distractions currently pull your attention away from the life God is calling you to live? What’s one way you can put some “blinders” on?
• Matthew 6:22 — “If your eye is single, your whole body is full of light.”
• 1 Timothy 6:6 — “Godliness with contentment is great wealth.”

3. DECIDE WHO YOU’LL SERVE.

• If Jesus looked at your life today, what might He say you are truly serving—Him or something else?
• Matthew 19:21 — “Go sell your possessions… then come follow me.”
• Matthew 10:39 — “Whoever loses their life for My sake will find it.”
• Jim Elliot: “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”

What is one practical shift you can make this week that would help you loosen your grip on earthly things and tighten your focus on eternity?
