Storing Up Treasures

What are your prized possessions?

Read Matthew 6:19–21 together: "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."

  2. What was it when you were a kid? Why?
  3. What do you think Jesus meant when he told us to store up treasures in heaven? What is one specific step you could take to do that?
