THE KING AND HIS KINGDOM - Matthew 19:16-30

THE GREATEST THING JESUS WILL EVER ASK YOU TO GIVE UP ISN'T SOMETHING YOU NEED. IT'S SOMETHING YOU'VE ALLOWED TO TAKE HIS PLACE.

MATTHEW 19:16

YOU CAN TURN FOLLOWING JESUS INTO A CHECKLIST

MATTHEW 19:17

MATTHEW 19:18–19 

MATTHEW 19:20

THE PROBLEM WASN'T WHAT WAS VISIBLE IN HIS LIFE. THE PROBLEM WAS WHAT WAS INVISIBLE IN HIS HEART.

MATTHEW 19:21

JESUS WASN'T AFTER HIS POSSESSIONS. HE WAS AFTER THE POSITION THOSE POSSESSIONS HELD IN HIS HEART.

JESUS WILL ALWAYS PUT HIS FINGER ON WHATEVER COMPETES WITH HIM

AN IDOL ISN'T ONLY SOMETHING YOU BOW DOWN TO. SOMETIMES IT'S SOMETHING YOU REFUSE TO LAY DOWN.

MATTHEW 19:22 

YOU CAN BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO JESUS TO HEAR HIS VOICE AND STILL WALK AWAY BECAUSE SOMETHING ELSE HAS YOUR HEART.

MATTHEW 19:23

WHAT YOU HAVE CAN BECOME WHAT YOU TRUST

THE GREATEST COMPETITION FOR JESUS ISN'T ALWAYS ANOTHER RELIGION. SOMETIMES IT'S THE COMFORT WE'VE BUILT WITHOUT HIM.

MATTHEW 19:24-26

MATTHEW 19:27 

FOLLOWING JESUS WILL COST YOU SOMETHING. BUT NEVER MORE THAN HE IS WORTH

MATTHEW 19:28–29

HEAVEN KEEPS RECORDS OF SACRIFICES EARTH FORGETS.

MATTHEW 19:30 

THE KINGDOM ISN'T ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN HOLD ONTO. IT'S ABOUT WHO HOLDS YOU
