[13] Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." [14] But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?" [15] And he said to them, "Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." [16] And he told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man produced plentifully, [17] and he thought to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?' [18] And he said, 'I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. [19] And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry."' [20] But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' [21] So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God." [22] And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. [23] For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. [24] Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! [25] And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? [26] If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? [27] Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. [28] But if God so

Luke 12-1-12, -1- In the meantime, when so many thousands of the people had gathered together that they were trampling one another, he began to say to his disciples first, -Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. -2- Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. -3- Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops. -4- -I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. -5- But I will warn you whom to fear- fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him- -6- Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies-- And not one of them is forgotten before God. -7- Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not- you are of more value than many sparrows. -8- -And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God, -9- but the one who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God. -10- And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. -11- And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, -12- for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.- -ESV- Pub 1004 - 0430

Luke 11-37-54, -37- While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. -38- The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. -39- And the Lord said to him, -Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. -40- You fools- Did not he who made the outside make the inside also-- -41- But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you. -42- -But woe to you Pharisees- For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. -43- Woe to you Pharisees- For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. -44- Woe to you- For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.- -45- One of the lawyers answered him, -Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.- -46- And he said, -Woe to you lawyers also- For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. -47- Woe to you- For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. -48- So you are witnesses and you consent to the deeds of your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. -49- Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,' -50- so that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation, -51- from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, Pub 1001- 1630

Luke 11-27-36,--27- As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised-her voice and said to him, -Blessed is the womb that bore you,-and the breasts at which you nursed-- -28- But he said, -Blessed-rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it----29- When the crowds were increasing, he began to say,--This generation is an evil generation. It seeks for a sign, but no-sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. -30- For as Jonah-became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man-be to this generation. -31- The queen of the South will rise up at-the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn-them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom-of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.--32- The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this-generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of-Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.--33- -No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under-a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the-light. -34- Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is-healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your-body is full of darkness. -35- Therefore be careful lest the light in-you be darkness. -36- If then your whole body is full of light,-having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with-its rays gives you light.- -ESV--Sermon pub 092823-0937
