Greed and Selfish People

Sermon : Friends and Family    Opening Scripture: Philippians 2:3 – “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”—Introduction:  Today, we’re diving into a topic that hits close to home—greed and selfishness.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

In a world filled with distractions and challenges, I want to encourage each and every one of you to continue following Christ with unwavering faith and devotion. The journey of faith may not always be easy, but it is undoubtedly the most rewarding path you can walk. Remember that following Christ means embracing His teachings of love, compassion, and forgiveness. It means striving to be more…

my friend asked me how i feel about turning 25, he’s currently 22. i had such a quick reflective moment and told him that i’m excited to see where i’m going, because of where i came from. i used to have fear towards getting older, becoming an adult and obtaining more responsibilities. however i have turned that fear, into focusing on God and His purpose for me. i became saved and gave my life to Christ last year and i look forward to living in God’s purpose for me. everyday i wake up because He will use me for something according to His will. so many people i went to school with have not made it to this age, yet God has kept me. He has kept me and had His plan for me before i became saved, before i was even born! to God be the glory because He is not done with me yet! now that i am living in this faith, im living to fulfill His calling for me. also, age is just time. they will encompass wisdom and knowledge. they will encompass trials to strengthen my faith. coming to my faith is my testimony, however it is to be shared and not to be kept to myself. my testimony is for others, it is not (just) for me.

When they left out everything ...

When they left out everything ... (Luke 5:1-11; 1Kings 19:19-21) I've been thinking over and over again about the same concern. What if I follow the Lord with all the time and means that I got? Going on full-time I said? What about my needs? My bills? My family? The family I'm going to have? What about the manner of I life I am in? It's not luxurious but I'm thanking the Lord because it's abounding. What about the people around me? Will they understand the life I'm going to take? This isn't regular. This is a special task to do. I always wanted to serve the Lord with all the ability and the availability I got. And I'm willing to follow Him and leave the life I have right now. But not until that time. When the knock of the calling of the Lord is getting louder that it usually sounds. My mind and the inner concerns one by one is going out. Questions, plannings and bargainings starting to stir up. Until I read one message, that really struck my heart and the mind that's kept on questioning.

When the Lord called Simon and the rest of the team to follow Him. In Luke 5, the story goes like, as the crowd is pressing towards Jesus, as He shares the word, He needed to ride on the available boat so that He can move forward to control the crowd, there are two boats there, and Jesus getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's. Then the story goes along and Jesus show Simon and the rest a miracle where in they caught a net breaking fishes. And verse 11 happened, when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.

If will put that situation in this very time, what if the Lord blesses you so much on the things that somehow is not bearing fruit? or dry? I'm talking about work, relationship, career, everything that you have, where you invest most of your time. Would you rather choose to have time in taking good care of those things that the Lord blessed? Or would you rather left out that things to follow who gave it in the first place? The common man will definitely choose to took care of the things that made him more blessed and continue the life he had, but those who had the heart of a servant had the guts to left out everything and anything to follow what is more on the other side. We're not hypocrite by saying that. We know the cares of where we are right now. Of ourselves. Left everything out and gave your everything to the Lord, is not easy as it looks. It's not easy to be an adult, the responsibilities you have, in yourself in your family, and the family you'll make soon, somehow. But as you read the passage in Luke 5, you'll see that Simon and the rest has nothing to do with what they accumulated tho it's a big part of their lives because they are all fisherman. What they are into is the life with Christ where in they can experience miracles after miracles, life after life, love after love, grace after grace, blessing after blessings. And they chose the right path. Where in the bible you read that they starve? or did they got sick? Or become in need no, not even once. You see, God can gave you the life He really wanted for you, a life in abundance, life that is content, life that will never runs out, life that He got what you needed, where He supplies everything. Choosing to go after the heart of God is indeed bizarre but, by crossing the unknown and letting the hands of God move every detail of your life for your own good is really amazing. Believing in what the Lord can do, more than what you can do. Your life being one of the greatest testimony in the making where in it's not you who made you successful and abundant in all things but it's the grace of God who made way for you.For now, I will never ever doubt the voice of the Lord that's calling me.I am ready to left out everything for Him, by His perfect time, and perfect ways. If God will open the door that leads me to go forward into His will to be full-time in Him, I'm more than willing to move forward.Just like the disciples, they let Jesus use their boats, they ability, their talents, their time, so will I. And when the Lord made it prosper,by His time may the Lord help me to brought my boat in the land, left out everything and follow Him.

Paul’s life has been a great encouragement for all Christians. He was actually a very good example of how God can turn a person’s life one hundred eighty degrees. As we look at Paul’s life when he was still Saul. Before God changed his name to Saul, he was actually a well-known Christian killer. He persecuted a lot of people and had put a lot of Christians to their deaths. However, our God is the God of miracles, He can always change our lives from being under evil schemes to His glory. 

So, when Saul’s life was intervened by God, he became Paul-- a changed man, a man who served God above all else, and a man who used his life as an example for the young Christians to follow. Now, our verse today is one of the testimonies of Paul. He declared that his life is worth nothing for him but only worth it to finish the race and complete the task the Lord has given to him. He already offered his life towards God, so there’s nothing that can take him away from his desire to follow Christ. No matter what people tell him, he has focused his eyes on Christ. 

Indeed, he has offered his life to Christ and he lives for Him. He was using his life to testify about Christ-- about how powerful He is that He was able to turn him, as a sinner into a precious servant of Christ. Thus, through the life of Paul, we can see the proof that Christ can do anything. With Him, we can be changed, and having Him in our hearts will make us a changed person. It is still not too late for us. We are still called to follow Christ and to use our lives to worship Him and honor Him.

May we also declare like Paul that our lives are nothing but only for the use of God. We are to offer our lives completely to Him that no amount of things this world can give that can take away our focus from Christ. Let us directly look at the cross and follow Him always. May we always focus and fix our eyes in Christ-- the pioneer of our faith and give Him full control of our lives. Let us worship Him in spirit and in truth and offer our lives as our living sacrifices to Him.
