- A. “Our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11; cf. Exodus 16:4-5)
B. What’s the catch? (Matthew 6:25-34)
C. This does not mean we do not have to work! (2 Thessalonians 3:10-12)
II. God provides an abundant life
- A. The promise of Jesus (John 10:10b; Ephesians 3:20-21)
B. You cannot outgive God (Malachi 3:8-10; Luke 6:38)
C. In addition to physical blessings, the “abundant life” includes spiritual blessings “in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3; Mark 10:29-30)
III. God provides eternal life
- A. God’s blessings do not end when this life ends (Mark 10:29-30; 2 Timothy 4:7-8)
