Beauty and the Beach Sermon Notes

Sermon 4 of our "Fun in the Sun With Jesus" series

Luke 12:22-28 (NIV) -

22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 


23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 


24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 


25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? 


26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?


27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
