Msg: Kingdom Rewards

I heard a speaker yesterday at the Big Ticket Festival say that Jesus was compelling. He spoke about the same passage of Scripture we talked about last week - Jesus telling His first disciples to follow Him and He would make them fishers of men. Today we advance the story a little further and listen to part of a message Jesus gave to a group of people that had gathered on a hillside to hear Him speak. Yeah, you could say He was compelling. And Jesus was still teaching His disciples how to be fishers of men.

You see, it's not about a gimmick or some special formula - it's about sharing the words of life that matter most. And Jesus spoke about the difference between doing things for the approval of others and what it means to have a kingdom mindset and operate out a heart for the Lord. Jesus taught that day about the rewards our Father in heaven has waiting for us when we do things to show our love to Him, not for what others might give us.

In the middle of all this is when Jesus taught on how to pray, not what to pray. And in that, he taught a truth we often forget about what blocks the blessings of our Father. But enough reading: click on the title above and hear it for yourself.
