Episode Notes
I. Fill Your Heart With Faith.
“Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil” (v. 16)
If Jesus is among you, spend time with him while you can.
Then go and feed the poor. Feed your spirit and then feed the hungry.
What do I have that I did not receive?
It is all a gift from God.
II. Fill Your Home With Love.
“Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred” (v. 17).
“Better a meal of greens with love than a plump calf with hate” (CEB).
“Asimple meal with love is better than a feast where there is hatred.”(CEV)
“It is better to eat a little where there is love than to eat a lot where there is hate.” (ERV)
“Better a bread crust shared in love than a slab of prime rib served in hate.” (The Message
III. It’s a Wonderful Life
“Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?”
“You see George, you’ve really had a wonderful life. Don’t you see what a mistake it would be to just throw it away?”
The third one isn’t a spoken line. It’s the inscription in a book left for George by the angel as the movie comes to its climax: “Remember, George: no man is a failure who has friends.”
IV. Thanksgiving is a Choice
Psalm 78 “How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the wasteland! Again and again they put God to the test; they vexed the Holy One of Israel” (vv. 40-41)
But he brought his people out like a flock; he led them like sheep through the wilderness” (v. 52).
Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
