Bro. Otis Fisher
All right, open your Bibles to Luke 12 31. It won't be here long. He has just finished talking about the birds The lilies Nature and says if you then are not able to do that Thing which is least Why take you thought about the rest?
Consider The lilies how they grow they toil not they spend not. He read. I say unto you that Solomon In all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Nature itself is a parable. I want you this week Brian.
Only you. I don't want the others to do this. I want you to find a teaching example in nature. Will you do that? Andrea you check on him be sure he does. Well, I challenge you to find something in nature that teaches the doctrine of Christ.
Report back next week. He says if then God so clothed the grass Which is today in the field and tomorrow cast into the oven. How much more will he close you oh ye of little faith so we see that Man hasn't changed much.
We still worry about things things. Seek not ye what you shall eat or what you shall drink. Neither be of doubtful mind. Let your mind not be continually perplexed. For all of these things do the nations of the world seek after and Your father knoweth that you have need of these things.
Our father made the need. He will surely make the supply. Now we come to verse 31, but and that little word but is a tremendous, but. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God. Seek ye the kingdom of God.
Joy. Are you seeking the kingdom of God? Do you seek the kingdom? We're not talking about salvation seeking salvation. But seek ye the kingdom of God. Bill what all does kingdom involve or include? It sure is.
But rather seek ye the rulership of God the kingdom of God and All of these things shall be added unto you Clarence. What does these things mean. Do any of you today have a lack in your life? Are you lacking something that you want know that you want not that you?
Yes. We do. Oh. If I just could get this if I could get ten more dollars I could do this. Well, he says all these things shall be added unto you. Verge. Is he going to add to to our life everything that's right.
Everything you have was a gift. In verse 31 seek is epinzato to inquire for to seek for search for to seek diligently. 32 Fear not little flock for it is your father's good pleasure to give you The kingdom.
Fear not little flock. Russell are you back there? What does he mean little flock. Are we a little flock. It is your father's good? Pleasure it pleases the Heavenly Father. To see that you have everything that you need in the kingdom.
Sell what you have and give alms. Provide yourself bags, which wax not old. A treasure in the heavens that faileth not. We're no thief approaches neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is there will your heart be?
Also bill I dare say that you can Meet someone that you've never met before. Carry on a conversation with him. And listen to him talk. And within five minutes, you'll know pretty much what he thinks. Is that right?
That's right so. What you are is what you think about now? What do you think about? Russell and I sit here on the front pew on a goat discussing different things of God. We come to the conclusion that we cannot even discuss it fully.
We cannot understand fully Lazarus when he was called back. Jesus knew that he was going to have to call him back. That's why he wept. Not because he died or because of the grave or because of other people but he knew the poor.
Lazarus was going to have to come back and. And he did it because it was the father's will. But he'd have to come back and die again. That caused anybody to weep. But we cannot explain Christianity we cannot.
We say we understand. Joy, do we really? Understand. Or are we just? As they say flapping our gums, yes. It's all unfathomable to me. The more I learned the more I learned. I do not know. But what I know is all I'm supposed to know and you also.
So where your treasure is? There will your heart be also each man will Come one day to the awful presence of the Heavenly Father stripped of all of these things. Things that we worry about. I Don't mean we're not supposed to have things.
But we have things to use. The things that occupy your life here on earth. When it comes to that moment of death There's nothing you can take with you. He will have no treasure up there. If he spent all his life thinking of things.
Concentrating on things how much more money to get. He lived without God here he'll die without God, but he'll come in with the presence of God. So I'll leave you with this thought. Where your heart is is where your treasure is if you do not like your treasure.
Then change what you're thinking. Clarence dismisses, please.
