(v. 3) God’s people are guilty of 3 things: 1. Seeking their own ___________/going their own ____________. (v. 3, 13) 2. _____________ their workers. (v. 3, 4, 9) 3.

(v. 6) “If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,’ without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” James 2:15-17 Promises: 1. The Lord will say, “Here I am.” (v. 9) “‘He pled the cause of the afflicted and needy; then it was well. Is not that what it means to know Me?’ declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 22:16 2. The Lord will satisfy your desire in scorched places. (v. 11)

Speaker: Matt Reagan
“Jesus said, ‘Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake, but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.” Mark 10:29-30

Notes.
“I saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was, to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not, how much I might serve the Lord, how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man may be nourished…I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God and to meditation on it.” George Mueller Practicals: 1. Take your involvement one step forward (get off the couch). 2. Humanize this (Families Count, FAM, Hot Dog Ministry).
