± I don’t want to be ashamed of Jesus.
Luke 12:13-21 – The Parable of the Rich Fool
± I don’t want to be a rich fool.
° I don’t want to settle for less by seeking more,
only to lose all I have.
Luke 12:22-34 – Worrying vs. Trusting
Don’t worry. Vs. 22-23
Don’t worry about food. Vs. 24-26
° Consider the birds. God feeds the ravens.
° Consider yourself. You mean more to God than birds.
° Consider worry. It’s good for absolutely nothing.
Don’t worry about clothes. Vs. 27-30
° Consider the flowers and the grass. God dresses
the plant life.
° Consider yourself. Unlike flowers and grass, God
made you eternal.
° Consider worry. It’s the opposite of trusting God.
Do seek God’s Kingdom. Vs. 31-32
° Don’t sell yourself short and don’t sell God short.
° God has made you for something bigger and better
than worrying over the lesser things.
° God is so much more than a heavenly vending machine.
Do divest and invest what God has given you. Vs. 33-34
° What you keep for yourself you will lose.
° What you give to God, you get to keep.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Luke 12:34
