Sermon summary:
Justin Renton — Tomorrow Matters
Proverbs 6:6–8 God calls us to learn from the ant. The ant knows tomorrow matters.
Proverbs 21:20 The wise store up, the fools gulp theirs down.
The parable of the talents/money. Matthew 25: 19–21
When God gives you resources he expects you to use it wisely.
- Don't invest in things you don't understand. Proverbs 24:3–4 Wisdom, knowledge and understanding is important in investments. Do research, ask questions.
- Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Ecclesiastes 11:2 Diversify your investments. There's no one good thing.
- Don't try get rich quick. 1 Timothy 6:9 When greed enters your life it can destroy your soul. Consider using the 10:10:80 principle—Give to God, Save, and Live on the rest. Don't live beyond your means.
Proverbs 13:11 Wealth from get-rich schemes disappear quickly. Wealth from hard work grows over time.

Saying “no” to sin is saying “yes” to freedom. Through grace, discipline, and daily surrender, we follow Jesus—not perfectly, but faithfully.
Follow Jesus by growing in Him and guiding others. Be humble, open, and willing to learn. Discipleship means obeying Christ and helping others do the same.
