Internet Bible Study - Chapter 16

CHAPTER 16 - TRUSTING GOD WITH YOUR TREASURE
Similar to the preceding section, the discussion here also focuses on our values. Our actions reveal both what we value and where we place our trust. The reference scripture warns against placing our trust in wealth that is uncertain rather than in God. In a supporting passage of scripture, Jesus helps us understand that through our daily activities we are working to store treasure either on earth or in heaven. He cautions that “where your treasure is, there will your heart be also”. God wants our hearts.

Reference Scripture:
1 Timothy 6: 17 – 19 ( command rich … not to be arrogant nor to put trust in wealth)

Supporting Scriptures:
Acts 17:28 ( In Him we live and move)
Deuteronomy 8:18 (God gives us the ability to gain wealth)
Luke 12: 13 – 34 (Jesus teaches about treasure- rich fool & take no thought what you shall eat… where your treasure is
