Do Not Be Anxious. Be Ready. (11AM)

Jesus tells us not to worry. However, in today's world, life seems a little more complicated than in Jesus days, and most of us don't worry about food and clothing. So, what did fully have in mind when He tells us “not worry about what we will eat or wear?

Where we focus our lives and minds when life happens and worries come, can have a huge impact on how well we make it through. Jesus gives us several things to consider when these happen to us.

Procrastination is a major problem in the world today. It is putting off what needs to be done or hoping to do tomorrow what should have been done yesterday. It affects everyone of all ages - and can be fatal when it affects our relationship with Christ. We only deceive ourselves when we believe that there will still be enough time before our death or before Christ’s return to come to Christ. We want to think that we are in control of the future, but the reality is that we are not. We do not even know what is going to happen in the next few seconds. The wisest thing to do is to be ready for Christ’s return now since time waits for no man.

In today's lesson, Jesus uses the parable of the rich fool to teach about money and possessions, worrying, being ready, and our servant obligations.
