Everybody wants to live the American Dream. That term was first defined in 1931 by James Trumbo Adams. Here is the way he defined it: “In America, life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone. With opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.”

In other words, he was saying everybody in America ought to have the opportunity to strike it rich. People from other countries don’t come to America in order to stay poor; they come to America hoping to strike it rich.

Just like a business that comes to an end one day your life will come to an end. All of the inventory of all of the stuff that you have accumulated must go. Some of it will leave you before you die and you will leave all of it after you die. Everything Must Go!

That is why today’s message is going to be so eye-opening, so refreshing, so life-changing and for many of you is going to free you from a prison that you have been in bondage to for perhaps most of your life. God has a dream for you that is far bigger and better and more fulfilling than the American Dream. We catch a glimmer of it in a letter that a grown man wrote to a young pastor: 1 Timothy 6:3-10
