Yahweh's View on Riches

Matt. 6:19-21, 24-25, 31-34

¹⁹ “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. ²⁰ But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. ²¹ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

²⁴ “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

³¹ So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Luke 16:9-31

Rich man and lazarus

Prov. 23:4-5

⁴ Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
do not trust your own cleverness.
⁵ Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,
for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

Matt. 16:26

⁶ What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?

Ecc. 5:10-15

Rich never satisfied

Col. 3:22-24

Do all things as if for Yahweh.

1 Tim. 6:9-11

Love of money root of evil, so money is not evil, but loving it is.

Psalm 49 entire Psalm is good.

Ps. 62:10

Heb. 13:5-6

Keep your lives free from the love of money.

Matthew 19:16-30

Easier for camel to get through needle than rich man to get into kingdom

Luke 6:24-25

Heb. 10:34-35

³⁴ You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. ³⁵ So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.

SONG: From The Inside Out by Hillsong

Clear Out That Which Is Evil From You!

I. Lessons from ancient Israel
A. Many nations...Deut. 7:1-26
There was to be no mingling between Yahweh's people and the nations. Any mixing would become a snare for them. Needed to be separate.

B. All those who heard...Lev. 24:10-23
No games. Clear out the evil from among you. Shows how adamant Yahweh is about His name. When the person that blasphemed was cleared out, everyone realized the seriousness.

C. A Thousand From Each Tribe...Num. 31:1-21
They had not made a thorough destruction as Yahweh had commanded. Yahweh has not changed.

D. No prisoners!...Num. 21:21-35
These were large nations the Israelites defeated.

II. Understanding Rebellion Against Yahweh!
A. Where are you?...Gen. 3
Disobedience is rebellion against Yahweh. According to today's standards, "she just ate some fruit" and banishing them from the garden would be considered "radical". But for Yahweh, it's His standard. We must scrutinize ourselves daily to make sure we don't become permissive and go along with the world's standards.

B. What Then is this sound I hear?...1 Sam. 15
Saul's disobedience compared to divination and idolatry, rebellion against Yahweh. (v.22, 23)

C. Hananiah...Jer. 28
Yahweh didn't take lightly being portrayed in the wrong way. Yahweh is not permissive. He demands obedience, and rightly so. Hananiah took it upon himself to say what Yahweh was going to do, without hearing from Yahweh.

We can be a bad prophet to ourselves. If we're not in tuned to Yahweh, our thinking can get warped, not reading regularly, associating with those who don't love Yahweh, questionable entertainment, etc. We can start thinking this is okay.

III. Taking Action!
A. They mingled the holy race...Ezra 9-10:1-17
It doesn't get any more touchy than sending your children away. Showed loyalty, whether to family or to Yahweh.
It started with the leadership being affected (Ezra) by the disobedience.
We can not have a "private" or "secret" relationship with Yahweh. Others will know. People always know what we're excited, passionate about or love.

B. Unintentional sins...Num. 15:22-29
Atonement still had to be made. Still accountable for it. One can affect the congregation.

IV. Widsom's Call!
A. I love those who...Prov. 8:1-17
B. All who hate me!...Prov. 8:18-36

SUMMARY:
We have to daily watch and make sure we are not disobedient, especially by following our own feelings over Yahweh's word. We must cut ties with those who do not love Yahweh. If we have friends/family that do not love Yahweh that we socialize with, we should ask, "If we were in Israel in Ezra's time, or in Deuteronomy 7, what would have happened or how would Yahweh view us?" Yahweh doesn't change. Mal. 3. Remember sins of the churches in Pergamum at Rev. 2:14-16 and Thyatira at Rev. 2:20-23.
