Message: The gospel according to Luke
Text: Luke 10:1-11
Vs 1-3
Sometimes we are the answer to our own prayer. Instead of looking out, look within.
Vs 4-11
~Be careful about becoming weighed down by too many things. God has not called anyone to accumulate stuff.
~Learn to live off what God is giving, what you are receiving...make do with what you have.
Henri J. M Nouwen, "We often live as if our happiness depended on having. But I don't know anyone who is really happy because of what he or she has."
“Happy is the man who is already happy with what he already has.”
~Minister to people wherever you go. Our encounters with people are not coincidence.
~None of us have much time left, and many people we try to reach will have nothing to do with Jesus. Move on to someone else knowing that the Holy Spirit may use a worker coming behind you. There were workers before you, there are workers coming after you.
Always forward, never backward!
