1. PEACE IN THE NEW YEAR

2. Matthew 6:25 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?

3. DEPENDENCY DESIRES DEVOTION

4. WE HAVE TO STOP BEING HYPOCRITES

5. DEPENDENCE : Matthew 6:19-20 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal... or where fluctuating world markets decimate the investments you’ve made.

6. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

7. DESIRES / COVETOUSNESS Matthew 6:22–23 22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

8. DEVOTION Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. (MAMMON)

9. Martin Luther: There are three conversions necessary: the conversion of the heart, the conversion of the mind and the conversion of the purse.

10. Matthew 6:25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?

11. REFOCUS YOUR DEPENDENCE DESIRES DEVOTION THAT’S WHEN THE PEACE COMES

12. You can only stop worrying when you REPLACE your worry - your fear WITH FAITH IN GOD

13. Starts with a CONSCIOUS DECISION And then it needs to happen EVERY SINGLE DAY

14. Matthew 6:31-32 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
