The Treasure Principle: You Can’t Take It With You “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21 (NIV) Treasures on Earth vs. Treasures in Heaven 1. Person: Self vs. God & Self 2. Place: Earth vs. Heaven 3. Possessions:

 

· Temporary vs. Eternal

 

· Disappear vs. Remain

 

· Decay vs. Reap

 

· Destroyed vs. Reward Takeaway: The Treasure Principle: You can’t take it with you - but you can send it on ahead. 1. Be crucified with Christ. (Galatians 2:20) 2. Be generous in giving to others. (1 Timothy 6:17-19)
