Storing Up Treasure

1. Treasure on earth won’t last. (Matthew 6:19 / Luke 12:15–21 / Psalm 49:16–17 / Proverbs 23:4–5)

2. Treasure in heaven won’t fade. (Matthew 6:20, 19:21 / Romans 2:6 / 1 Corinthians 3:10–15, 9:24–25 / Ephesians 6:8 / Luke 6:35, 14:13–14)

You gain much more than you lose. (Matthew 19:29 / Psalm 16:11)

3. Treasure reveals your heart. (Matthew 6:21 / Luke 3:11–14, 19:8–9)
