CURRENT SERMON SERIES:
DON'T SAY
"$#%&X"
IN CHURCH!
This week (11/20): "&"
Scripture: Matthew 6:25-34
Jesus tells us not to be anxious about the needs of this world. He says in Matthew 6:31-32, "So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things." Money worries ruin families, divide friendships, and can lead to health problems. Jesus says that our focus should not be on "all these things," but our hearts should be on Kingdom things. He says in Matthew 6:33, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness" - AND all these things will be given to you as well. What we will discover is that as we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness . . . we will value what God values; we will want what God wants; and we will do what God does. - ART
