Day 22

READ: Luke 16-18

CONSIDER: Did you notice how much these chapters talked about money? Did you know that in the New Testament there are more references made about money and wealth then hell? Jesus points out several times that the love of money can prevent people from following God. When we hold on to our possessions it becomes a barrier to trusting God and letting him take control. How much you are willing to give to God is a good indicator on how much you trust him.

ACT: God commands us to give 10 percent of everything we make. Do you do that? What about giving to those less fortunate? How about to missions? What's stopping you from trusting God with your money? Do you trust that He is in control of your life?

Day 21

READ: Luke 13-15

CONSIDER: The parable of the lost sheep, lost coin, and the lost son. What matters most to God are those who are lost. What are you doing to share God's life changing message to others that desperately need it?

Check out this video our youth ministry made for a series we did a while back called "numbers."

ACT: We all know someone who is lost. Pray for them today and ask God to give you the opportunity to share the gospel. If you aren't sharing his love with others, what are you doing?

Day 20

READ: Luke 10-12

CONSIDER: I love the parable of the good samaritan. It's a story we've heard a thousand times but it's one that moves us with emotion. Have you ever been in a situation where you needed someone to help but no one was there? We can all relate on some level. We know how the needy man must of felt and the relief when somebody showed up to help. Christianity at is very core is all about serving others. This is how people will know that you love God.. by your love for other people.

ACT: When you see a need, are you moved with compassion? Are you willing to be the hands and feet of Jesus even when others aren't? Today, if you happen see a need, be the one to show Jesus to that person. You might be the only one that stops to help. You might be just what that person needs to experience the love of Christ.
