Sunday Message: Tackling Ten Timeless Truths, Part 3 · CCC West Covina

0:00
Tackling 10 Timeless truths. That will transform every aspect
0:03
of your life. They are Timeless because they
0:06
go across culture, they go from Century to Century.
0:09
They're always going to be there and you're going to tackle them
0:13
throughout the rest of your life.
0:14
But they are very important for us to understand if Christ is
0:18
sufficient and he is if Christ is all Supreme and he is which
0:21
is the theme of the book of Hebrews then it will be seen and
0:26
how you live your life it would manifest itself.
0:28
Number one in your Option, number two, your commitment and
0:32
never three your contentment, right?
0:34
Those are the first three points.
0:36
First one dealt with the fact that we need to respond with
0:39
love to the needs of others. That's compassion with, we love
0:43
the Brethren that are Among Us in the church or whether we are
0:47
lovers of strangers or whether we are visiting those in prison,
0:50
those who are suffering. We have compassion toward those
0:53
who are in need. So you respond with love to the
0:56
needs of others. Number two, you reaffirm your
0:59
loyalty to me. I reach, this is commitment.
1:01
We reaffirm our loyalty to marriage marriage is to be
1:04
honored among all not just some, but by all.
1:09
And that's so important. Because the Bible tells us the
1:12
first Peter 3 first number seven, the husbands are to honor
1:15
their wives as the most precious position that they have.
1:19
So, I know I'm honoring marriage.
1:21
When I honor my wife as my most precious possession because he
1:25
honors me, the Lord says, I will honor.
1:27
And so I honor the Lord by honoring my Wife.
1:30
And but I honor my wife, I honor marriage and and I hold it in
1:34
high esteem. I exalted as as the Bible says
1:37
because it's God's Divine institution.
1:39
He goes on to talk about the fact that they'll be great
1:42
judgment upon Those who commit fornication and those who are
1:45
adulterers So, you moved from compassion, to commitment to
1:51
contentment. If we respond with loved what
1:55
the needs of others and reaffirm your loyalty to marriage, then
1:58
number three, you resist the love.
2:03
Of money. Verse number 4, excuse me.
2:07
Verse number 5, make sure that your character is free from the
2:11
Love of Money, being content with what you have.
2:16
For he himself has said, I will never desert you nor will I ever
2:21
forsake you so that we confidently.
2:24
Say the Lord is my helper. I will not be afraid.
2:29
What will man do? To me.
2:35
Resisting the love of money will be a Temptation.
2:40
You will tackle throughout the rest of your life learning not
2:45
to covet learning, not to be filled with greed and avarice.
2:51
But to truly be content with the things that God has given to
2:57
you. you know, one thing about the rich, They know something,
3:03
the poor don't. And that is, they know that
3:07
money cannot buy you happiness. The poor don't know that, but
3:14
the rich do. They realize that.
3:19
They realize that their richest can make them a little bit more
3:21
comfortable. Maybe that would be true.
3:25
Things a little bit more convenient, that would be true
3:27
as well. But it can't bring you
3:32
contentment. And certainly can bring you
3:35
happiness. They know that.
3:39
That money can buy them a bed. But money cannot buy them sleep.
3:47
They know that money can buy them a gun.
3:50
But money cannot buy them security.
3:54
They know that money can buy them companionship.
3:57
But it cannot buy them. Friendship.
4:02
They know probably better than anyone else knows that money.
4:12
Can buy you medicine. But it cannot buy you health.
4:18
Money. Can buy you, pleasure.
4:24
But it cannot buy you, peace. Money can buy you a crucifix but
4:29
it can't buy you savior. Because the things that are
4:34
eternal. Cannot be purchased.
4:39
With things on the Earth. This is the writer of Hebrews.
4:45
Is going to emphasize that very unique point.
4:50
That of Christ really is enough. if you really is sufficient, he
4:56
is Supreme Over All. Are you content with that?
5:04
Is that good enough for you? Or is there always a little bit
5:09
more? You must have. one officer said
5:13
to him, little is not enough. Nothing is ever enough.
5:22
That's true. To whom little is not enough.
5:28
Nothing is ever. Enough. so, the question comes,
5:36
Are you one who resists the Love of Money?
5:41
By being content with the things that you have.
5:46
The word content is unique word. Paul would use the Greek word
5:51
because the stoics believe that to be content.
5:55
You had to be self-sufficient, satisfied and independent other
6:01
words, you were independent of anything, external independent
6:06
of anything around you, because you are satisfied, insufficient
6:10
with where you're at. Paul would use that word.
6:16
As he talks about contentment of Philippians chapter 4, when he
6:19
said that, I've learned to be content in whatever state I am
6:22
in. And he uses that word, simply
6:25
because it's not about his own self, sufficiency, but in God's
6:30
sufficiency in his life Because God's efficiency leads to God
6:37
satisfaction and God satisfaction leads.
6:39
You not to be dependent upon external things but completely
6:43
dependent upon the God, who is all sufficient for everything.
6:48
So the word sufficient or the word adequate?
6:52
We were satisfied. All the same.
6:58
Is that which characterizes those who is just the love?
7:03
Of money. How about you?
7:09
Are you satisfied with your salary or do you need just a
7:11
little bit more? Are you satisfied with your
7:16
home? Oh, do you something a little
7:19
bit bigger? Are you satisfied?
7:26
with the number of children, you have Or do you need?
7:29
Just need one more. Are you satisfied with what God
7:36
has given to you? You see if Christ is all
7:42
sufficient in all Supreme, then he will be enough for me.
7:50
So, the Bible speaks a lot about money, believe it or not. and as
7:55
it does, that explains to us, many things, That would need to
8:00
be aware of in fact over in first, Timothy chapter 6.
8:03
Paul says this, For the Love of Money is the root of all sorts
8:07
of evil and some by longing for it.
8:10
Have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves
8:14
with many griefs. You know, think about that.
8:20
It's called it cause Dimas second, Timothy 4.
8:23
Verse number 10, Who Loved this present world to wander away
8:27
from the faith. His love for the things of the
8:31
world, his love for money. How about Judas?
8:37
Judas had a love for money. He's willing to betray his Lord
8:43
for a certain amount of money. But no one ever believe that
8:47
Judas will be that kind of guy because Judas was the most
8:50
trusted of all the disciples because he held the money.
8:55
Everybody thought that Judas was the most Godly person.
8:59
The most holy person, the most committed person.
9:06
But he was the son of perdition. Because down deep, he loved.
9:13
Money. Unless, and Sapphira.
9:17
They were killed in church for their Love of Money.
9:21
They loved us so much, he would lie about how much they would
9:23
solar home for. And God struck him dead.
9:29
In church. So we must learn to resist the
9:35
Love of Money. In fact, it says this in verse
9:37
number, nine, halves, 436, those who want to get, rich fall into
9:41
temptation, not those who are rich.
9:44
Those who want to get rich, there's a difference, right?
9:47
Abraham was rich. Joe was rich, right?
9:52
All you have to do is read scripture.
9:53
Solomon was rich. Which is man who ever lived.
9:59
So it's not riches that caused you to fall Temptation into
10:03
temptation. It's the love of money.
10:06
It's the love of riches. So he says, but those who want
10:10
to get, rich fall into temptation and a snare and many
10:14
foolish and harmful desires, which plunge men into ruin and
10:20
destruction. Wow.
10:23
Why is that? Because riches are deceitful.
10:29
We know that from the parable of the sower and the soil in Mark's
10:33
gospel as the Lord speaks about the Thorny soil.
10:39
And how that thorny soil chokes out the seed of the Gospel.
10:44
For Mark's gospel, the 4th chapter.
10:46
It says this. And others are the ones in whom
10:51
the seed was sown among the thorns.
10:53
And these are the ones who have heard the word, but the worries
10:55
of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the
10:59
desires of other things, enter in and choke the word, and it
11:04
becomes unfruitful Riches are so deceitful.
11:11
And we don't even recognize it. But they are.
11:16
Listen to what the Bible says in the Book of Proverbs.
11:19
The 23rd chapter of the fourth verse.
11:22
Do not weary yourself to gain wealth.
11:27
Do not wear yourself to do that. Cease from your consideration of
11:33
it. When you set your eyes on it, it
11:38
is gone. For wealth can certainly makes
11:42
itself wings like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.
11:47
How true is that? Every time I go to the gas pump,
11:51
I'm like there goes my money. Flying away, spreading wings and
11:55
off it goes. Whether it's the grocery store,
11:58
whether it's the gas pump, whether it's McDonald's,
12:01
everything's just flying away. Is there one minute gone?
12:05
The next Solomon knows this. He's a rich man. in fact, he
12:11
says he's words in in Proverbs chapter, Chapter 24.
12:24
I'm sorry. My bad.
12:27
Chapter 29. A faithful man.
12:33
Will abound with blessings. But he who makes haste to be
12:38
rich will not go unpunished. One who saw him was talking to
12:46
you there. How about this verse 22, a man
12:51
with an evil eye. Hastens after wealth.
12:56
And does not know that want will come.
13:02
Upon him, in other words, he's hastening to get rich, he will
13:07
do all he can to gain wealth. And when he does, he doesn't
13:11
recognize that, he's just going to want it all the more because
13:15
he can never get enough of it. and so over in, Proverbs Chapter
13:26
11. Solomon would say these words.
13:33
Proverbs chapter 11 verse number 28, he who trusts in his riches.
13:41
Will fall. But the righteous will flourish
13:46
like a green leaf. The Bible has so much to say
13:51
about riches. And wealth and the love of those
13:56
things. So the writer of Hebrews comes
13:58
back and says, listen if Christ really is all sufficient for
14:01
you, you have to learn to be content satisfied with what God
14:07
has given to you. Because that's going to enable
14:11
you to resist the Love of Money. Back early on in the book of
14:16
Deuteronomy. As as Moses is reiterating the
14:21
law of the nation of Israel. Listen to what he says.
14:23
Verse number 11 of Deuteronomy chapter 8, be aware that you do.
14:28
Not forget the Lord your God beware.
14:36
He's still in this Israel. Those who had seen the, the
14:40
miraculous plagues and in Egypt, those have been taken through
14:44
the Wilderness for 40 years and seen all that God had done by
14:47
providing water for them and providing food for them, taking
14:50
care of them that the soles of their shoes.
14:53
Never wore out. Got to care them.
14:58
So Moses said, Beware. Lest you forget?
15:03
The Lord your God. By not keeping his Commandments
15:07
and his ordinances and statutes which I am commanding you today?
15:11
Otherwise when you have eaten and are satisfied, have built
15:15
good houses and lived in them. And when you're hurting your
15:18
flocks multiply and your silver and your gold multiply and all
15:23
you have multiplies, then your heart will become proud.
15:28
And you will forget the Lord your God who brought you out
15:33
from the land of Egypt. Beware.
15:37
When you're still wearing your gold multiplying. when your
15:40
flocks multiply when things are going really good and what the
15:45
built-in curse that is, You just forget all about God.
15:51
Is do. Because honestly, this in verse
15:54
number 17, otherwise you may see in your heart, my power and the
15:58
strength of my hand made me this wealth, but you shall remember
16:01
the Lord your God for it is he who is giving you power to make
16:06
wealth? God gives you power to make
16:11
wealth. God gave Elon Musk the power to
16:15
make wealth. I smarter than you are.
16:19
You sleep naughty better looking than you are.
16:23
But God gave him power to make wealth.
16:27
Soon. Bill Gates.
16:30
God gave him the power to make wealth.
16:33
God, does that? We forget that.
16:39
So, we need to understand that. The root of evil is the love and
16:44
the Lust For more money. So I could have more things.
16:54
In Luke's gospel. The 18th chapter.
17:01
Listen to these words, you know them.
17:03
Well, a ruler, a rich ruler asked him saying, good teacher.
17:08
What shall I do to inherit eternal life?
17:09
Luke 18, 18. And Jesus said to him, why do
17:13
you call me good? No one is good.
17:14
Except God alone. You know, the Commandments do
17:16
not commit adultery do not murder, do not steal, do not
17:18
bear false, witness, honor your father and mother and he said
17:21
all these things I have kept from my youth.
17:23
I've done all that. What must I do to inherit
17:27
eternal life in Christ quotes? The second half of the
17:29
decalogue? I've done that.
17:33
I'm good. That mean I'm in.
17:38
Does that mean I get to inherit eternal life?
17:42
Because I haven't committed adultery, I don't steal, I don't
17:46
lie. I've always thought of my father
17:49
and mother. So, does that mean I'm in?
17:54
She says, one thing. You still act just one, only
17:58
one. So we wanted matters.
18:02
Is one thing you lack. Sell all that you possess
18:06
distributed to the poor. And you shall have treasure in
18:10
heaven. And come follow me.
18:15
Are you got used to all that? You have?
18:18
Gives to the poor. Does that mean, if I if I just
18:22
give away everything that I have, I'm going to heaven.
18:24
No, that's not it. So Christ is saying Christ.
18:27
Knew that in his heart he had another God.
18:33
And that God was the god of possessions and money.
18:37
He was an idolater. That's why Christ and quote, the
18:40
first half of the decalogue because of all deals with his
18:43
relationship with God. You shall have no other gods
18:45
before me, but he did. He had a God that was preeminent
18:50
his life. He had a God that made him
18:51
sufficient in life. He had a God that was Supreme in
18:54
his life and it wasn't the Lord God of Israel.
18:56
It was his money was his possessions Christ knows that
19:02
Sue Christ, hit him where his heart is for, where your
19:07
treasure, is there. Your heart will be also.
19:12
First way 923 says, but when he had heard these things he became
19:15
very sad for. He was extremely rich. and Jesus
19:21
looked at him and said, how hard it is for those who are wealthy
19:26
to enter the kingdom of God, It is easier for a camel to go
19:30
through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the
19:32
kingdom of God. They heard it said, then who Can
19:39
ever be saved. Because in there, Day and time,
19:44
they believe that wealth was a gift from God.
19:47
And God, only bless the righteous.
19:49
And because he did the righteous were the richest.
19:56
Jesus says the things that are impossible with people.
20:01
Are possible with God the Russians.
20:05
This is humanly possible. Who can be saved, nobody.
20:12
You can't. It's absolutely humanly
20:15
impossible to ever get saved. There's nothing you can do to
20:19
save you, nothing. Nothing.
20:23
You said wait a minute, wait a minute.
20:25
The Bible says to as many as received him to them gave he
20:29
power to become the sons of God. So I am receiving him but you
20:32
got to be the next verse. Who are born not of the will of
20:36
the flesh, nor of the will of, man.
20:39
But of the will. Of God.
20:45
No one comes to me Christ, as a John 6.
20:49
Let's the father draws him. You can't get there on your own.
20:54
You can't make it on your own. And one of the big hindrances
20:58
for us to see that of is the riches in the well that we
21:01
possess because I don't need God.
21:05
I have my bank account, I can go to the doctor and he got there.
21:08
I choose to I could buy any car. I want to bike by anyhow, I want
21:11
to buy, I can do whatever I want to do.
21:13
Like I said to my kids to the school, I want to send them to
21:15
who needs God. so, I express that by saying, I'm sufficient
21:22
in and of myself. That's why Christ always
21:26
matches, man against his standard, his law.
21:31
Because man needs to beg for mercy.
21:33
Cry out to God. I can't do that for the Bible
21:36
says, were dead in our trespasses and sins can dead men
21:41
speak? No, can did men think.
21:44
Nope. Condemned been walk.
21:46
Nope. What can dead men do?
21:48
Nothing but lie. There and be what dead they're
21:51
dead. you're born dead, you're born, spiritually dead, you're
21:57
incapable of doing anything spiritual So God has to make you
22:01
alive, his to Quicken you, his to work in your heart and when
22:05
he does you respond by faith and all these says so I salvation is
22:11
a supernatural work of God. It's a miracle.
22:14
It's very cold, a new creation, right?
22:18
New Creation. So God does how about this?
22:25
Luke chapter. 12 crisis is waxing, eloquent about the
22:29
Triune nature of God, the revelation of God, he's talking
22:34
about the danger of false religion.
22:36
He's just he's just preaching as strong as he can.
22:42
In the come to verse 13 of Luke chapter 12.
22:45
Someone in the crowd said the end teacher teacher tell my
22:48
brother to divide the family inheritance with me.
22:50
It's almost like he couldn't wait for Jesus to take a breath
22:53
because once Jesus Took a breath, he had to insert, what
22:56
he had to say. Jesus, tell my brother that he
23:01
must split the inheritance with me.
23:04
Evidently his brother was in the audience.
23:07
First brother, to hear from Jesus.
23:10
So Jesus says, man. Who put him be a judge or
23:15
arbitrator over you? I didn't come to judge between
23:21
you and someone else and who gets what money and who doesn't
23:24
get what that's what. That's what I'm here for.
23:28
So he says this beware and be on your guard against every form of
23:34
greed. Bio tells us in Colossians 3:5
23:39
at greens idolatry. Be aware be on your guard.
23:45
For not even when one has an abundance, does his life
23:48
consists of his possessions. He told them a parable saying
23:52
the land of rich man was very productive.
23:54
He began to reasoning to himself saying what shall I do since I
23:57
have no place to store my crops that he said this is what I will
24:00
do. I will tear down my Barns and
24:01
build larger ones and there I will store all my grain and my
24:04
goods and I will say to my soul soul, you have many Goods laid
24:07
up for many years to come, take your ease eat drink and be
24:10
merry, because hit him. You fool.
24:14
This night, your very soul is required of you.
24:18
Now, who will own what you? Have prepared.
24:27
So is man who stores up Treasures for himself?
24:32
And is not rich. Toward God.
24:39
Drive Hebrews. Once these people to resist the
24:43
love, the ler, the longing. From money.
24:53
But be content with such things as you have.
24:59
Be status fine with what God has given to you.
25:03
Because he truly is the all sufficient god of the universe.
25:09
Psalm 62, 10 says, if riches increase do not set your heart
25:16
on them, Second Corinthians 6. Verse number 10.
25:24
Paul says having nothing yet. I possess everything.
25:34
That's contentment. and so, he quotes to verses one from
25:42
Joshua, one from Psalms, remember the writer of Hebrews
25:44
does not tell you where he's quoting it from, he doesn't have
25:48
to, they're Jews, they're masters of the Old Testament.
25:54
Severe simply says he himself. Has said, I will never leave you
25:58
nor forsake you so that we can complete say, the Lord is my
26:01
helper. I will not be afraid.
26:02
What will man do to? Me takes him back to the
26:04
scriptures. Why?
26:05
Because of Grace is all sufficient Supreme.
26:08
Everything he says is sufficient.
26:11
And supreme. So my time is fleeting, so let
26:15
me give you six principles in six minutes, Fat Chance.
26:22
What do I do? How do I resist the Love of
26:25
Money? Six principles, you're ready.
26:29
First of all, there needs to be a confession of my unacceptable
26:33
passion. A confession of my unacceptable
26:38
passion. The love of money is an
26:41
unacceptable passion. Not an acceptable one.
26:46
Resist the Love of Money. Pugs I'll talk about Timothy
26:51
being a man of God flee. These things, the man of God
26:54
cannot be a man who's the lover of money.
26:59
Can't flee these things and Timothy pursue gaudiness pursue
27:05
righteousness, pursue Faith, but don't pursue the love of money.
27:10
So there needs to be a confession of my unacceptable
27:13
Pursuit. I got to recognize that my my,
27:16
my playing the lottery every week.
27:18
Is that unacceptable Pursuit? Shoot.
27:21
An acceptable passion. Thinking that it's the hastening
27:25
to get rich quick. We just read several verses.
27:28
The Book of Proverbs is speaking about against that, right?
27:32
It's a quick fix to my, my indebtedness is the Quick Fix to
27:36
my financial woes. There's be confession of my
27:43
unacceptable passion. He conceals a transgression will
27:47
never prosper. But he who confesses?
27:53
And forsakes his sin. So, find compassion. these point
28:00
over to not only use our confession of my unacceptable
28:04
passion, but there is a cessation From my unknown
28:12
fillable. Pursuit.
28:16
A cessation from my unfillable pursuit.
28:20
In other words this Pursuit is never going to feel you.
28:24
Listen to what Solomon says, Ecclesiastes chapter 5.
28:27
Verse number 10, he who loves money.
28:33
Will never be satisfied. Does it get any clearer than
28:36
that? He loves money will never be
28:39
satisfied. He loves money will never be
28:46
satisfied with money, nor he who loves it with abundance with its
28:51
income for this to is emptiness. Vanity.
28:59
Worthlessness. See, I just can't confess the
29:03
fact that I have an unacceptable passion.
29:05
I had to cease pursuing that which cannot fill my life.
29:12
He who confesses and forsakes his way will find compassion.
29:17
So there's a confession and a forsaking we can't confess our
29:21
sin all the while Conjuring up in our mind, another Avenue by
29:25
which we can pursue our sin. That'll work.
29:29
God knows your heart anyway, right.
29:32
So there's a confession of my unacceptable.
29:35
Passion, a cessation from my unfillable.
29:40
Pursuit. The number three.
29:43
A comprehension of his. Unfathomable person.
29:53
I must learn to comprehend God. He's all sufficient.
29:58
He's unspeakable, he's unfathomable and therefore, I
30:04
seek Him and only him. I love what it says in Luke's
30:08
gospel. The 12th Chapter 30 verse Your
30:12
father knows what you need before you even ask him.
30:18
Wow. I wish that was that way with my
30:21
children, I wish I knew what they needed before they ask me.
30:24
I'm not that way. He would go on to say, if your
30:28
father, if your father on Earth knows what you need and gives
30:32
you good things while on Earth, how much more will your father
30:35
in heaven? Give you the spirit of God to
30:37
those who ask him. I'm going to give you the Holy
30:40
Spirit, who is the Divine comforter?
30:44
Who is the, who is the embodiment of all truth?
30:49
He's your guide, he's your peace.
30:54
Yeah, the Holy Spirit. You have everything.
30:58
And so, we need to comprehend his unfathomable person.
31:05
He's not only omniscient, he's good.
31:09
No good thing to the Lord. With whole, for those who walk
31:11
uprightly, he's a good God. Psalm 34 Verse number 10, makes
31:18
it very clear. When the psalmist says this, the
31:22
Young Lion is, you lack and suffer hunger, but they seek the
31:25
Lord. She's not being anyone's.
31:29
Of any good thing? Wow.
31:34
Those who seek the Lord shall not be in any want of anything.
31:37
That is good because God is good and God, who is the author of
31:42
all goodness? Bestows his goodness on those
31:45
who walk uprightly? Come out God's on the presence,
31:54
right? That's why the author quotes For
31:59
the Book of Joshua, I will never leave you.
32:01
Nor will I ever desert you? I'm always there.
32:05
That's how I know what you need before you even ask me.
32:09
I'm always there. Not because I see your knee
32:11
because I know your need before you even put on your tongue, I
32:14
know it all. That's why quotes from the
32:21
psalmist, Psalm 118 when he says.
32:26
There was my helper. I will not be afraid.
32:28
What can man do to me? That's his omnipotence.
32:33
It's the reason we love monies could be.
32:34
Don't love God and nothing know who he is.
32:39
So there comes a confession of my unacceptable passion, a
32:43
cessation of my unfillable Pursuits, the comprehension of
32:48
his unfathomable person number for it.
32:53
Conviction, Of his unalterable Providence.
33:01
His unalterable Providence for same Route, 27, the Lord.
33:07
Makes one poor and the Lord makes one rich.
33:15
That's Providence. You thought you were Rich
33:18
because you were smart. Oh no.
33:21
Shame on you. You thought you were Rich
33:24
because you had a good education from a good to know.
33:29
You thought you were Rich? Because you were creative and
33:31
Innovative and a good idea? No, the Lord makes you rich.
33:35
The Lord makes you poor. He's in charge of those things.
33:40
Deuteronomy 10:18, it's by the Lord's power.
33:44
We obtain wealth not by your power, not by your might not buy
33:48
your intellect, it's by the Lord's power.
33:52
That's why there needs to be a conviction of God's unalterable
33:55
Providence. Listen you have what you have
33:58
because in God's Providence, that's what you have.
34:02
But I just want a little bit more.
34:04
Don't you think that God knows you want more?
34:06
And if God knew you could handle more guess what he gave?
34:08
You more. But he knows the deceitfulness
34:13
of riches. He knows how easily you'll
34:16
forget your God. God's Providence rules and
34:21
Reigns Over All. Number 6.
34:26
The longer the six minutes. There needs to be a
34:29
concentration on his. Shakeable.
34:36
Promises. A concentration on his
34:41
unshakable promises. If he says he's never going to
34:46
leave you nor forsake you It's promised.
34:49
If the Lord is your helper. It's a promise.
34:55
My God, shall supply. All your needs.
34:57
According to his riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.
35:01
She promised. Since shakeable.
35:06
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things, but things
35:11
shall be added unto you. Don't worry about what you eat.
35:15
Don't worry about what you wear. And certainly, don't worry about
35:19
how long, or how short you live, that's all the Matthew chapter 6
35:23
because all that is providential.
35:27
Eat what you want. You're still going to die on
35:29
time. What you eat is not cause you to
35:33
live longer God's in charge of all those things.
35:37
Right. So therefore we realize that God
35:42
will close us. He will feed us.
35:44
He will take care of us. Psalm chapter 37.
35:50
Verse number 25. I've been old and I've been
35:54
Young. Yet, I have not seen the
35:57
righteous forsaken or his descendants begging bread.
36:03
David says, And so there needs to be a concentration on God's
36:11
on shakeable. Promises.
36:18
And Proverbs Chapter 30 verse number 7.
36:21
Someone says this. Two things, I ask of you.
36:27
Do not refuse me before I die. Keep deception and lies far from
36:32
me. Give me neither poverty, nor
36:35
riches. Feed me with the food.
36:38
That is my portion. That I not be full and deny you
36:45
and say, who is the Lord? Or that I not be in want and
36:49
steel and profane the name of my God.
36:58
Christendom, when he was. About to die. in the book of in
37:08
the, if you were read it from, As he stood before the Roman
37:13
Emperor and was threatened under banishment.
37:18
It says. Now, cats not banished me for
37:22
this world as my father's house. To which the emperor said I was
37:28
Lady then. Yeah.
37:31
Alcance not said the noble Champion.
37:34
The faith for my life is hid with Christ in God.
37:39
I will take away thy Treasures. Yeah.
37:43
Now Kansas not for my treasures are in heaven and my heart is
37:47
there. Also.
37:49
But I will drive the away from man and thou shalt have no
37:53
friend left. Okay, it's not For, I have a
37:59
friend in Heaven from whom thou canst not separate me.
38:05
I defy thee for there is nothing that thou canst do.
38:12
To hurt me. Why?
38:16
Because he recognized the Savior as the all sufficient supreme
38:21
god of his life. How about you?
38:25
The Way You Are. Let's pray.
38:28
Father, we thank you for today. The opportunity you give us as
38:32
being your word. And pray that we protected, the
38:36
Lord's table. You remind us once again?
38:39
Of the great all-sufficient. Satisfying provision.
38:45
Of your salvation for All Souls. In Jesus name, amen.
