They are the three things that Jesus wants us to do earnestly. One we use our voice, one we use our site, one we use our physical touch. No To never give up, to never stop searching. -

Q2. Do Not Be Anxious about Material Things
Karen11 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 10. Temptation to Worry (6:25-34)
Jesus tells us a lot of times, he is telling us to trust him, lean on him. When we worry we are not trusting the Lord, we are making our problem bigger then our God. Very much opposites. -

Q4. Serving God or Money
Karen11 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 9. Temptation to Idolatry (6:19-24)
God is not against people having wealth, or working to attain money. I think what he is saying is to not become consumed with making money that you never seek God everyday and worship and Thank him. Yes wealthy people can serve God, if you always put God first you'll never be last. -
Q3. Rewards in Heaven
Karen11 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 9. Temptation to Idolatry (6:19-24)
The things we do for those in need, the things we do for God. Things we get on earth will fade away like dust but the things in heaven are forever. Most do not want to talk about heaven, they have so much wealth here that the thought of letting go saddens them. -

Q1. Greed and the Rich Fool
Karen11 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 9. Temptation to Idolatry (6:19-24)
I do not believe he was condemning him for storing of his harvest but of the fact that the man did not humble himself of all that he had. You work, you have plenty now go reward yourself by eating, drinking and sit back. That there is no Thankfulness to God. That we should store heavenly treasures not earthly. -
Q4. Forgiving and Forgiveness
Karen11 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 8. The Lord's Prayer (6:9-15)
Cause of our sin, we need to ask for forgiveness. God forgave us we need to forgive to receive God's Blessing. How can God forgive us if we first don't forgive. -
Q3. Prayer for Daily Bread vs. Independence
Karen11 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 8. The Lord's Prayer (6:9-15)
Pride, that we don't show our weakness. Seem to think that we can do everything ourselves and don't need anyone. God provides everything,(job) our needs are met. -
That the Lord should come back to establish his Kingdom on earth. That his will, the things that need to be done on earth as it is in heaven so the Lord will come back, there are things that need to be established here on earth before Jesus returns. I believe that we should always be praying and waiting for the Lord's return.
