Sermon on the Mount - Part 2

Matthew 6:5—7:29

Kevin's Commentary

You are encouraged to go through steps or process scripture in these steps:

• Pray = in anticipation of what God wants you to discover. Lord, continue to do Your good work in me as I read and study Your Word today.
• Read = Mathew 6:5-7:29 with purpose look for what God is trying to communicate. You may want to read out of several translations and highlight key words.
• Reflect = on the context and put yourself in the shoes of people at that time. Is it really possible not to worry, as Jesus says here? What things worry you the most? How can your faith help you deal with those worries?
•     God is ... What do we learn about God?
•     We are ... What do we learn about people?
• Apply = information without application is fruitless. Decide on some practical steps you can take for fulfill what God wants you to do. Write down on paper the things that are worrying you the most right now. Pray for God to help you trust him and then tear up the paper and “throw your worries away.”
• Pray = yielding to God to empower you to do what the word convicted you to do. Pray and thank God that he is big enough to deal with anything and everything that worries you.

#Worry

IS IT WRONG TO WORRY? (Matthew 6:25) Jesus was emphasizing that we no longer have to worry. This is an invitation to rest in the arms of a loving Father. As humans, we sometimes cross the line and violate this principle when we allow ourselves to constantly focus on ourselves instead of God.
