Today we move on to another biblical example as we read from 2 Kings 5:1-3,9-10,14-16,20-23. We've a lot to learn here and we'll take them one after another. Did the man of God (Elisha) have needs? If he did, why did he refuse Naaman's gifts?etc...🤔🤔🤔👨‍🏫👩‍🏫👩‍🏫👨‍🏫....

1 Kings 21:4-10,14-16...how do you react when you don't get what you want/have your way? Sulk, throw tantrums, upset? Here, we see coveteousness in action. That is, wanting what others have/belong to others...how do you handle it?🤔🤔🤔🤔...

Is human need truly insatiable?.. Or the phrase is just to cover up our greed as humans? Study this series with us and learn about greed..from it's definition and everything it causes us to do....today, let's look at what happened in 1 Kings 21:1-4.

If this commandment is old/has been from the beginning, what makes it new? John 13:34&35. How? John 13:5-10, 12-15...Jesus' demonstration of the application is what makes it new. "As I have loved you".....listen and study with us 👨‍🏫👩‍🏫👨‍🏫👩‍🏫👨‍🏫......

Matthew 22:34-40,...Jesus with wisdom turned the pharisees, chief priests and teachers of the law's questions back on them when He quoted from the law and summed it up just with one word"LOVE". It is the first and that makes it old. What makes it new then?🤔🤔🤔....

Back to our text in Matthew 5:14-16 again Jesus calls us light. It symbolizes the power, holiness and presence of God. It brightens, exposes, beautifies, glows...are you walking as children of light? Ephesians 5:8✨✨....

Coming to the preservative side of things with salt, let's read from the book of Leviticus 2:13...why do we need to preserve stuffs? Obviously to make them last longer....in this case, it is God's continual relationship with His people. How does it apply to what Jesus calls us(salt)? Study with us👨‍🏫👩‍🏫👨‍🏫👩‍🏫...

Mark 9:50....no matter the kind of seasoning you add to your food, they can never replace the role salt plays which means Jesus in His sermon illustrates how valuable His followers are to/in the world. Are you playing your role as salt faithfully?🤔🤔🤔food for thought..
