Outline
Children’s message toys are fun, but a life spent after God is of value
Intro
Wasting life
It has been said that what the heart loves, the will chooses, and the mind justifies
Guard your heart above all ()
The question put before us as we examine the lives of two people whose hearts were prepared to receive Jesus in his fullness, is where are our hearts?
Do our hearts mirror what we see in Simeon and Anna, our culture, or just our own desires?
luke 2:22-
HEART of WAITING (25-26)
Simeon loved God enough to wait
HEART of PEACE (27-32)
Simeon did not cling to life/stuff
Paul better to stay or go ()
HEART of TRUTH (33-35)
Simeon spoke truth when hard
We don’t always make people happy by telling them the truth, but that shouldn’t stop us
HEART of SACRIFICE (36-37)
Anna gave her life to God’s purposes
“You don’t have to know a lot of things for your life to make a lasting difference in the world.
But you do have to know the few great things that matter, perhaps just one, and then be willing to live for them and die for them.
The people that make a durable difference in the world are not the people who have mastered many things, but who have been mastered by one great thing.”
― John Piper, Don't Waste Your Life

(emphasis on 17-19)
Conclusion: HEART of EVANGELISM (38)
Anna’s devotion spilled into declaration
,
The measure of our hearts: Is the gospel spilling out of our lives into the lives of those in darkness?
