Stop Worrying, Seek the Kingdom, Trust God

Description
In Luke 12:22 –34, we find Jesus contrasting two ways to approach obtaining the necessities of life: one based on worry and one based on trust. I. Do not worry about or seek food or clothing (v. 22, 29). A. For there is more to life than food and the body than clothing (v. 23). B. If God feeds the ravens, and you are much more valuable than birds, you can trust Him to feed you (v. 24). C. For you can't add any length to your life by worrying (vs. 25–26). D. If God clothes the lilies with greater glory than Solomon, and they are destined to be used for fuel, you can trust Him to clothe you (vs. 27–28). E. For the nations worry and seek these things, but your Father knows you need them (v. 30). II. Do trust your Father as you seek His kingdom (v. 31a). A. For your Father will give you food and clothing (v. 31b). B. For your Father is well-pleased to give you the kingdom (v. 32). C. So you can live generously, making an unfailing heavenly treasure, with your passion directed toward the kingdom (vs. 31–32).
