THIS SUNDAY’S HYMNS

This morning, This morning we continue our sermon series

‘‘‘‘TEN - The Ten Commandments as we will explore God’s timeless

principles andvalues that provide a window on life as it should be -

life as it could be - where respect for God and for other people

determines everything we do - today we focus on the

commandment ‘You shall not covet’.

As a church family we seek to know Jesus better, to make Him better

known and to encourage one another in Christian faith and life - for

more details about our activities, please pick up the Spring 2014

1 Timothy 6

Verses 3 to 10

Whoever teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the

true words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the teaching of our

religion is swollen with pride and knows nothing.

He has an unhealthy desire to argue and quarrel about words,

and this brings on jealousy, disputes, insults, evil suspicions, and

constant arguments from people whose minds do not function

and who no longer have the truth. They think that religion is a

way to become rich.

Well, religion does make us very rich, if we are satisfied with

what we have. What did we bring into the world? Nothing! What

can we take out of the world? Nothing! So then, if we have food

and clothes, that should be enough for us. But those who want

to get rich fall into temptation and are caught in the trap of many

foolish and harmful desires, which pull them down to ruin and

destruction. For the love of money is a source of all kinds of evil.

Some have been so eager to have it that they have wandered

away from the faith and have broken their hearts with many

sorrows.

BIBLE READING

Matthew 6

Verses 19 to 34

Do not store up riches for yourselves here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and robbers break in and steal. Instead, store up riches for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and robbers cannot break in and steal. For your heart will always be where your riches are.

“The eyes are like a lamp for the body. If your eyes are sound, your whole body will be full of light; but if your eyes are no good, your body will be in darkness. So if the light in you is darkness, how terribly dark it will be!

“You cannot be a slave of two masters; you will hate one and love the other; you will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. “This is why I tell you: do not be worried about the food and drink you need in order to stay alive, or about clothes for your body. After all, isn't life worth more than food? And isn't the body worth more than clothes? Look at the birds: they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren't you worth much more than birds? Can any of you live a bit longer by worrying about it?

“And why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow: they do not work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that not even King Solomon with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers. It is God who clothes the wild grass—grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burned up in the oven. Won't he be all the more sure to clothe you? What little faith you have! “So do not start worrying: ‘Where will my food come from? or my drink? or my clothes?’ (These are the things the pagans are always concerned about.) Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things. So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
