Thankfulness and Generosity Unlock the Good Life - Randy Alcorn 24:32

منذ 15 weeks24:32

24:32

Jesus tells us our earthly possessions won’t last. We will outlive them, or they will outlive us. You can’t keep your things forever, and you can’t take them with you. However, according to Jesus, you can send your treasure on ahead. And that’s by giving of your treasure and thus setting your heart on the things that matter eternally. So how do you make the kind of investment Jesus recommends? Here are some places to start: Help a disabled person by volunteering with Joni and Friends Share the Gospel with someone who doesn’t know Jesus Offer a meal to someone who is hungry As Randy puts it, “to open up your hands and freely give to help others is the key to a happy life.” So today, entrust your heart and your treasure to God, the Giver of all good gifts. Cling to Jesus, feasting on his promises and sharing them with others. Because every time you open your hands to give , or go out of your way to serve, you step into the good and happy life God designed you for. Randy Alcorn is the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries and a bestselling author of more than 60 books, including The Treasure Principle: Unlocking the Secret of Joyful Giving . KEY QUESTIONS : What makes you truly happy and satisfied? How can you invest in things that matter eternally? When have you experienced joy as you served or gave to someone else? KEY SCRIPTURE: Matthew 6:19–21: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” You make this podcast possible! Thank you for your support . Find all podcast resources and message our team.

She was trained at Westminster Theological Seminary where she obtained a Masters of Divinity specialized in Counseling. If you are a parent, grandparent, or caregiver counselor Darby wants you to know that you are just the right person to help the child or children in your life when they experience trauma. After a child endures a distressing event, a parent’s (or grandparent’s or caregiver’s) shepherding can play a vital role in the healing process—providing love and security. You can help the children you love to navigate their fears, guide them through their distress, and assist their recovery. The struggling child in your life does not need you to be an expert in trauma; they need you to engage with them as they suffer, pointing the way toward hope and healing. KEY QUESTIONS : What are the signs that a child is coping with past or present trauma? Do you know how to provide what your child (or a child you love) needs when they’ve gone through a traumatic experience? How can you lean on God to develop the patience, confidence, and compassion to meet the children you love in their suffering? KEY SCRIPTURE: Psalm 23: The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. You make this podcast possible!
