Storing


On Sunday we shared around storing in Matthew 6:19-24:

Storing is a natural human endeavour
- Traditionally those who didn't, would die.

However, we have come to understand storing differently.

We store more than we need.
In other words, we sometimes store for the sake of storing.

So some important lessons from the passage:

- Store only what you need
- Store important things like relationships
- Focus on Jesus to provide all our needs

Awesome!

Yes or No!

On Sunday we shared from Matthew 5:33-37.

In this passage, Jesus encourages His disciples to stay away from good intentions and to simply say Yes to fulfilling God's will and work in their lives.

For us, this means not saying: "I promise to do this or that.." or "I meant do do this or that.."

Rather, it means simply committing wholeheartedly to Christ and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us to change to:

- Become the people God wants us to be
- To do what He calls us to do

My prayer is that you will say Yes to Him!

Facing Temptation




On Sunday we spoke about facing temptation in Luke 4:1-13:


We all face many temptations.


Bottom line: Jesus expects us not only to face but to have victory over temptation on our lives.



How can we do this:

- Believe in Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit(John14:15-17)
- Turn to Scripture when confronted by temptation (Isaiah55:10-12)
- Know you will be tempted again (Ephesians4:25-28)
