CHASING CARROTS (Part 1) • "Money & Stuff" • Barry Bandara

• This Series: What really makes for a happy life? A dream job, a bigger house, or a new relationship? If you’re always hungry for the next big thing, but frustrated because it never seems to satisfy you, you might be Chasing Carrots. It’s time to hop off the treadmill and chase after something real. This five-week series is about the things people commonly chase after that only bring fleeting happiness, fulfillment, or validation.

 

• This Week: Our society bombards us with advertisements that tell us that what we don’t have is what we need to be happy and fulfilled. As American’s the good news is… we are rich! The bad news is… we are rich! The truth of God’s word tells us, a person’s life does not consist of the abundance of stuff we have. We don’t need what’s temporary. We need what eternal. Not more stuff but more Jesus!

 

Key Phrase: “Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever has wealth is never satisfied with their income.” Ecclesiastes 5:10
