Key Notes:
Luke 16
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.
Money will bring us more happiness.
2. Money will bring us more security.
Two rich men who encountered Christ.
A rich young ruler
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
2. A tax collector named acchaeus
But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”
Why has this happen to us in our culture?
How to pray:
1. We don’t have to pray those prayer “Give us our daily bread”
2. God led the national of Isreal by providing their daily need.
What happens when we
We become strangely content.
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
1 timothy 6:1
2. We become irrationally generous.
