When Less Is Better

You know that closet-the one that you crack open just enough to stuff something else in. It’s often said that less is more, but what about when you feel like you need more to do more? We’re learning how having less can lead to a more meaningful life.
ABOUT THIS MESSAGE
In new seasons, we often focus on what we should do more of. But sometimes, we just need to simplify. In our series, Habits of a Healthy Heart, we'll take a deep breath, make space for God, and allow Him to work in our lives.
NEXT STEPS
Have you made a decision to follow Jesus? You may be wondering what’s next on your journey. We want to help! Let us guide you to your next steps in your walk with Christ: www.life.church/next

How easy or difficult is it for you to believe that you have enough?

Very difficult. When I feel that way. That's when I talk to Heavenly Father. He calmed me down. Heavenly Father never let me down.

[@lynn7348]

For me, easy. I've been homeless in the past and had very little. I learned how to begin to trust Jesus and that is valuable and precious to me. Stuff is just stuff, having Jesus in your heart is everything ❤️

I've been decluttering lately myself and then I hear this. I just talked about my issues of constantly buy stuff online and don't even need and it's cluttering my space.

Give me less of what doesn't matter and more of what does. with JESUS, i have all I need.

[@scott.m.thacker]

This was a wonderful sermon. As a Christian who has back slid so bad, the sermons I have watched on this channel have really helped me. While already dealing with severe depression and anxiety, I am now going through tests on my heart. My wife, 2 children and myself currently live in a hotel room. Our goal is to move to Omaha, Nebraska. I trust that through these sermons Jesus will draw me back to him and ultimately get not just mine but my family’s lives back on track.

[@kariomo9085]

Minimalism has captured my stuff, and I feel like I can finally breathe. I am still purging. Everything I buy folds or comes apart and I only have furniture that is functional but also donate focused. I am never paying $3000 to move stuff again. I could have given it all away and bought new every time. I am purging down to a capsule wardrobe. I found creativity and now make original jewelry pieces to showcase what I see as a God given talent.

The shortages should tell you how people gather more than we need. Every time they said there was a shortage people ran out and made that shortage worse for the people that had none. Fear creates greed and violence against people who don't have. It's the opposite of what God wants from us all.
