   b. Rust
   c. Thieves

2. Heavenly treasure – I Timothy 6:17-19

   c. Sharing generously

JESUS SAYS OUR TREASURE IS CONNECTED TO OUR

1. Heart – Matthew 6:21
2. Mind – Matthew 6:22-23
3. Will – Matthew 6:24
   Insecurity begins with a divided heart.

2. Believe you are valued by God. – Matthew 6:26
3. Realize that worry is useless. – Matthew 6:27
4. Wealth is not the answer to insecurity. – Matthew 6:29
5. Insecurity reflects the character of the unbeliever. – Matthew 6:32
6. Worry keeps us from making God number one. – Matthew 6:33

RATHER THAN WORRY

1. Focus on God.

God is too good to be unkind; He is too wise to be confused. If I cannot trace His hand, I can always trust His heart.  – Charles Spurgeon
