CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter”.  This quote is attributed to Francis Chan as well as DL Moody – regardless of who said it first it is absolutely true and has been a challenge for me this week.  Where do I invest my time?  Is it on worldly possessions?  Comforts?  Fitness?  My career?  All of these things, while nice, are ultimately not what our focus should be.  Jesus is in the relationship business and we should be too.  Our efforts should be toward brotherhood, accountability, being bold in our faith, helping our brother when he falls.  These are what is important in light of eternity.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The following verses are from Matthew 6:  19-21.

19 x“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where ymoth and rust5 destroy and where thieves zbreak in and steal, 20 xbut lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Where do you put your treasure?  So many times, I find myself putting my heart into treasures other than in God.  This is certainly human.  We humans put our treasures in things such as money, having a nice home, being popular, being best at our jobs, making sure our family members are doing the right things.  But what if we were to lose our earthly treasures?  If we do not trust in God, we would surely be lost.  If our heart is in God, we can survive the loss of earthly treasures.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

43 strong this morning – No FNG’s

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Be content with the gifts and blessings that God grants you. We all fall into the trap of wanting more…..just a little more money, a little bigger house, a nicer vehicle, just a little more time, a little more grace from our spouses. The bottom line, though, is that no matter how much “more” we have in terms of worldly possessions, it will never provide the fulfillment and joy that we are seeking. No matter how much “better” our circumstances become, we will never be satisfied. We must avoid the temptation to keep wanting more, and instead, be content and thankful for everything that God has already given to us.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

3rd F event coming up this Sunday (2/4) at the Wesley House. Workout starts at 2 pm and will be a great way to give back to the community.
