SUNDAY SERMON ON THE BLOG – RICH THE WISE WAY!

Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. - 1Timothy 6:9.

This is not a message for folks who are financially rich.

No, this is for all of us who want to have that wealth. Craving it, coveting it, and going in pursuit of earthly wealth expose us to grave danger.

Let's be reminded of the words Jesus: Seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

Loving Heavenly Father, I thank you for your many blessings. By the power of the Holy Spirit, help me to be satisfied, and generous with the blessings you have already given to me. Help me to keep my focus on you and your Son! In the wonderful and mighty name of your Son and my Saviour, Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Be encouraged.

SUNDAY SERMON ON THE BLOG – GETTING OUR PRIORITIES RIGHT.

What good is it for you to gain the whole world, yet forfeit your soul? - Mark 8:36. TNIV

We run after after so many materialistic things, but only one important thing is really required.

Having a bankbook full of money, a great big house, a fancy flash car, and lots of status, doesn't mean a whole lot if you've gone to your final destination without the Lord. Even worse, is to find that in the middle of your unimportant pursuits, you awake to find yourself in the desolate territory, where Christ does not dwell and life is not found.

Let’s get our souls right, and we will get our priorities right!

Loving Father, help me by the power of the Holy Spirit to get my priorities right, by keeping my life holy, and my heart obedient to your will, rather than being captivated with my own selfishness. In the wonderful and mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Be encouraged.
