13Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.14For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/504194733

Matthew 7:7-12 (NASB95)

Prayer and the Golden Rule

7Ask, andit will be given to you;seek, and you will find;knock, and it will be opened to you.8For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.9Or what man is there among youwho, when his son asks for a loaf,will give him a stone?10Orif he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?11If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!

12In everything,therefore,treat people the same way you wantthem to treat you, forthis is the Law and the Prophets.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/501501635

Matthew 7:1-6 (NASB95)

1Judge not, that you be not judged.2For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.3Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?4Or how can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of your eye, when there is the log in your own eye?5You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."

6Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you."Watch at: https://vimeo.com/498999543

Colossians 1:15-20 (NASB95)

15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.16For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authoritiesall things have been created through Him and for Him.17He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.18He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.19For it was the Fathers good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him,20and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/495281224

Luke 2:7-10 (NASB95)

7And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

8In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night.9And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened.10But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people;Watch at: https://vimeo.com/493460876

Matthew 6:25-34 (NASB95)

The Cure for Anxiety

25For this reason I say to you,do not beworried about yourlife,as towhat you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body,as towhat you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?26Look at the birds of theair, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, andyetyour heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?27And who of you by beingworried canadd asinglehour to hislife?28And why are youworried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,29yet I say to you that not evenSolomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.30But if God so clothes thegrass of the field, which isalivetoday and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace,will Henot much moreclotheyou?You of little faith!31Do notworry then, saying, What will we eat? or What will we drink? or What will we wear for clothing?32For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; foryour heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.33Butseek firstHis kingdom and His righteousness, andall these things will beadded to you.

34So do notworry about tomorrow; for tomorrow willcare for itself.Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:19-24 (NASB95)

19Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.20But store up for yourselvestreasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal;21forwhere your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye isclear, your whole body will be full of light.23But ifyour eye isbad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

24No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God andwealth.
