Sermon notes:
- Where do the worries come from? Doesn’t everything come from God?
- What is a need? We need to work that out. Disciples picking grain on the sabbath is not a nice meal. That is closer to “need”.
- Jesus did not prohibit planning for the future, just worrying about it
- "Where are your shoes?" "God told someone and he forgot."
- Am I seeking this thing or am I seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
- Rev4:6 of the crystal sea that is chaos tamed before God
Questions
First Set of Questions
- Read Exodus 14:1-2, 10-16
- What does that show of God's perspective?
- What does that show of the perspective of the followers of God?
Note: The Baal Cycle mythology of the Canaanites is about the battle between the wind god Baal and the sea god Yamm. Moses and Israelites crossing the Red Sea shows the Israelites that Yahweh is in power and authority over spiritual powers as well (Baal and Yamm). This Spiritual warfare is an interesting topic to discuss maybe another day.
Second Set of Questions
- Read Matthew 6:19-24, Matthew 6:25-34, Romans 12:1-2
- Do these verses show a connection between how you choose to live your life and worrying?
- Each of you think of 3 things you worry about.
- Do you have these because:
- you don't have complete control over a situation that you are responsible for?
- you are confident things will not go well?
- you don't know what to do or you feel powerless?
- there are physical factors in your life like stress, lack of sleep, etc?
- Pray for each other as needed
