  1. Misplaced Priorities Luke 10:38-42

  2. Misplaced Priorities: • Money before the soul

  3. Money Before The Soul Mark 8:34-37 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Ecclesiastes 5:10 He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver;       Nor he who loves abundance, with increase.       This also is vanity.

  4. Money Before The Soul 1 Timothy 6:6-10 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, andit iscertain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

  5. Misplaced Priorities: • Money before the soul • Friendship before truth

  6. Friendship Before Truth Romans 2:6-8 who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: 7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; 8 but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, Mark 10:21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”

  7. Misplaced Priorities: • Money before the soul • Friendship before truth • Physical welfare before spiritual

  8. Physical Welfare Before Spiritual John 6:26-27 Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. 27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”

  9. Physical Welfare Before Spiritual • Soup kitchens • Food pantries • Orphans homes • Thrift shops • Youth groups • Gymnasiums and recreation centers Matthew 5:6 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.

  10. Misplaced Priorities: • Money before the soul • Friendship before truth • Physical welfare before spiritual • Praise of men before the praise of God

  11. Praise of Men Before God’s Praise John 12:42-43 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

  12. Praise of Men Before God’s Praise • Compromise the truth • In the church • In the community • Submit to peer pressure • Commit sinful acts • Approve of those that do James 4:4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

  13. Misplaced Priorities: • Money before the soul • Friendship before truth • Physical welfare before spiritual • Praise of men before the praise of God • Pleasure before duty

  14. Pleasure Before Duty Luke 8:14 Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 Luke 17:10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’”
