The Good Recession, Part 2: Application
5 Comments
Yesterday I preached the second message in this two-part series called “The Good Recession.” In last week’s message, I asked the question, “How should Christians who believe in a sovereign God think about these times—how can God use a bad economy for our spiritual good?” This week I continued with four more ways this can happen:
1. If it helps us reset our definition of “need.”
2. If it makes us more aware of our helplessness and God’s faithful provision.
3. If it helps us see that only King Jesus and His kingdom are worth living for.
4. If it encourages us to lay up our treasures in heaven.
You can listen online or download the message here.
Below are a few are questions I shared at the end of my message that should help you apply it.
1. How are you being anxious?
2. Where is your definition of “need” wrong?
3. Where is greed or worry distracting you from seeking the kingdom?
4. How could you use your resources to be rich toward God’s concerns?
