Intro: part of SERMON ON THE MOUNT. A Christian’s private life and public life. Two problems: greed and anxiety.
I. Principle #1: The question of our treasure Matthew 6:19-21Matthew 6:19-21. Do not be a covetous (Marked by extreme desire to acquire or possess) person. Lay up treasure in Heaven 1 Timothy 6:171 Timothy 6:17.
II. Principle #2: The question of our vision Matthew 6:22-23Matthew 6:22-23. Everything your body does your eye see Judges 21:25Judges 21:25. Contentment 1 Timothy 6:61 Timothy 6:6. A happy family life Psalm 128:2Psalm 128:2.
III. Principle #3: The question of our service Matthew 6:24Matthew 6:24. Can I say: Christ is Lord over my life? Do I have real treasure that I can never loose?
IV. Principle #4: The question of our ambition Matthew 6:25-34Matthew 6:25-34. Why we worry Matthew 6:25Matthew 6:25. World thinkers- Eat, drink and be merry. Why we don’t have to worry Matthew 6:26Matthew 6:26. Worry exhibits a lack of faith Matthew 6:28-29Matthew 6:28-29, Hebrews 11:6Hebrews 11:6 and Romans 14:23Romans 14:23. Look to put God first and you won’t have to worry Matthew 6:33Matthew 6:33.
Personal: If you worry you bury God’s blessing of today by worrying about tomorrow. Worry will drain you of your strength Psalm 103:14Psalm 103:14.

Intro: Paul was a man of tremendous courage because he was a man of tremendous conviction. A strong belief is not a wise conviction if not based on God’s Word.
I. They will have convictions. Paul’s conviction was to go to Jerusalem and preach the Word of God Acts 19:21Acts 19:21. David had convictions, 1 Samuel 17:45-471 Samuel 17:45-47.
II. They will spurn all diversions. A prophet named Agabus came over to Paul Acts 21:10-11Acts 21:10-11. Romans 15:25-27Romans 15:25-27 is the plan and Paul holds fast to his convictions Acts 20:22Acts 20:22.
III. They will sacrifice at any cost Acts 21:11-15Acts 21:11-15. Paul did not leave from Jerusalem until The Lord told him Acts 22:18Acts 22:18. Paul is told to ’Take Courage’- Acts 23:11Acts 23:11.
Personal: What convictions will I live and die by? Sometimes you can have a conviction and others will say ’no’. Follow God! The Will of God is most important.
