Jesus had a lot to say about money! Find out what things he said here.

Today, we’re going to talk some more about winning. But this time it’s about money.

Jesus Had a Lot to Say About Money

He said to:

Luke 12:15 Beware! Guard against every kind of greed.

He meant that you should not keep all the money to yourself, but to give some to other people and to church.

Another thing Jesus said about money is that…

Luke 12:21 A person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.

Money is not as important as God. Don’t let money or your stuff take God’s place in your life.

There is one more thing Jesus said about money and it’s our memory verse.

Luke 12:34 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.

Jesus is telling us a money secret. He is saying that wherever you spend your money, that’s where you are going to focus your attention. So, if you spend all your money on yourself, you’ll be focused on yourself. But if you make a habit of giving to God, then you’ll be focused on God.
