Simplicity: When Less Is Better - August 10, 2025

In this sermon, we are invited to reflect on the teachings of Apostle Paul and the message of simplicity that echoes throughout the Bible. The core theme revolves around breaking the myth that "more is better" and understanding the significance of contentment through faith in Jesus.

The sermon highlights the story of Adam and Eve, cautioning against the deceptive lures of material wealth and possession, and redirects us towards spiritual abundance and peace. Through personal anecdotes and biblical references, it prompts us to evaluate our lives and recognize what truly matters.

Join us in exploring the liberating lifestyle of simplicity and learn how having less can actually lead to a more fulfilling life, centered around the teachings of Christ. Because in Jesus, we truly have enough.

With Pastor Mike Curry.

Habits of a Healthy Heart—2

Simplicity: When Less Is Better

Matthew 6:19-21

 If you want to change your habits, let God change your heart.

 Introduction: What if the stuff you have is keeping you from the life you want?

1. The habit of simplifying = “I have enough.”

 “God, give me less of what doesn’t matter. God, give me more of what does matter.”

 God, give me less of what doesn’t matter.

 More isn’t always better (Matthew 6:19-21)

• Want less of what doesn’t matter (Hebrews 12:1)
• God, give me more of what does matter.

 Define what matters most to you by answering the question, “what if I only had one month to live?”

• The most meaningful things in life are not things. Ecclesiastes 4:6

Conclusion: Because I have Jesus, I have enough.

 Philippians 4:12-13
