The Jesus Way

(1) Life is more than things. Love God and people more than things.  

(2) God is the creator, owner, giver. Live as stewards of his resources.

(3) God is sovereign. Live humbly under him.

(4) God delights in blessing us. Relax in his grace.

(5) Security comes only from God. Stop searching for security in other places.

(6) The King has begun his kingdom. Focus on the kingdom, not stuff.

• We should not worry because of who we are.
