1. Greed is when you:
   1. L_____ self, not God.
      Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. Matthew 22:37-38
   2. L_____ self, not others.
      And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Matthew 22:39
   3. L___ lesser desires win out over greater desires.
      Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. Psalm 86:11-12
   4. L______ track of contentment.
      Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." Hebrews 13:5
   
   
   
2. Desire gets out of control and results in greed when you:
   1. D______ the Holy Spirit.

   2. D______ the reminders from God.

   3. D__ the desired thing over and over.

3. Any of us can go the "God way" or the "greed way"

4. So... which way for you?
   You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. John 15:16a
