==========
Title: "Letting Go Of Stuff"
Speaker: Jim Hammond
Series: Travel Light

I. It’s better to have LESS of what doesn’t matter and MORE of what does.

Ecclesiastes 4:6 (NIV)  
Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.

Luke 12:15 (NIV)
… “Watch out!  Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”

II. One HANDFUL Living

Ecclesiastes 4:6 (NIV)  
Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.

A. THROW OUT

Matthew 19:21-22 (NIV) 
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

Ecclesiastes 4:6 (NIV)  
Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.

B. BUY LESS

Psalm 119:37 (NIV) 
Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.

C.  LIVE
     GIVE
     LOVE
     LAUGH 
     .....more!

REFLECT
Are you accumulating on Earth what you cannot keep? Or are you investing in Heaven what you cannot lose?

Dear God, 
You are more than enough. Thank You for Your love. Thank You for Jesus. Holy Spirit, we need Your strength to let go of all the distracting junk we have added to our lives.  Show us and help us with our next step toward a “one-handful” life that is full of Your presence and peace.  Amen!
