==========
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!

OUR OMNIPOTENT GOD'S GOT YOU

June 7th - 9th, 2025 WEEK 2 _______________ The greater our illusion of control, the higher our level of anxiety. When we obsess over things we can't control, we forfeit control over things we can control and we rob ourselves of the peace we could have by releasing control to God. "Do you trust God is capable of control?" Matthew 19:26 NIV > Mark 6:5 NIV > How do I release the illusion of control to an omnipotent God? John 11:1-7, 11-27, 32, 43-44 NIV > Colossians 3:3-4 NIV > What is one area of your life you need to release control over? What is God speaking to you through this message? What is one thing you can do this week to live out the teaching?

Part 2: Anchored in the Gospel

Verde Valley Christian Church Nov 3 – 10, 2024 Sermon Series: Anchored in Unchanging Truth Sermon Title:"Anchored in the Gospel" Presenter: Jim Hammond 1. The Gospel is POWERFUL Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. Luke 24:45-49 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, "This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
