Weekly Inspiration Greetings from Pastor James It is hard for some people to see beyond the material things of the world. Some look at life with limited vision. They cannot see beyond, the” I” word. It is only “I” or “me”. Some cannot see beyond the borders of their property, their bank account and investments. Some cannot see God’s provision that brings abundant life. A good life in the Kingdom of God is not like the world. It consists of caring for the poor, loving our enemies, and doing good for those in need. Not once does Jesus lift up setting up a retirement account or having a job with a high paying salary as part of seeking the kingdom of God. Read Luke 12:13-21. Jesus did not condemn the possession of money. But He did warn about putting your faith in just money to secure one’s future. The rich man’s money did him no good at all the night of his death. Jesus is calling us to see beyond the borders of our fields or bank accounts or investments. In these scriptures Jesus is trying to give us a vision of a truly abundant life. The best way to receive is to give. You feel better and you make the world better when you invest in God’s Kingdom. Following Jesus calls us beyond what the world has to offer. What treasures are you storing up today? Invest in the Kingdom of God. You feel better and you make the world better when you invest in God’s Kingdom. Give to God. Where you put your treasure is where your heart is. Come Worship at the Living Water Church Sunday. Learn what giving back to God truly means for our souls. A gift to God sustains more needs than you can ever know. Only when you receive in your heart the one that paid for all on Calvary can you truly give. And only when you truly give can you truly live.
