33. The Call : Abraham
Gen 12:1-2
Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of
your country, From your family
And from your father’s house, To a land that I
will show you. 2 I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
35. The Call : Israel
Deut 28:1-13
1
If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully
follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD
your God will set you high above all the nations on
earth. 2 All these blessings will come upon you and
accompany you if you obey the LORD your God: 3
You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the
country.
36. The Call : Israel
Deut 28:1-13
4
The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops
of your land and the young of your livestock--the
calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. 5
Your basket and your kneading trough will be
blessed. 6 You will be blessed when you come in and
blessed when you go out.
37. The Call : Israel
Deut 28:1-13
7
The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up
against you will be defeated before you. They will
come at you from one direction but flee from you in
seven. 8 The LORD will send a blessing on your barns
and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD
your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
38. The Call : Israel
Deut 28:1-13
9
The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he
promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the
LORD your God and walk in his ways. 10 Then all the peoples
on earth will see that you are called by the name of the
LORD, and they will fear you. 11 The LORD will grant you
abundant prosperity--in the fruit of your womb, the young
of your livestock and the crops of your ground--in the land
he swore to your forefathers to give you.
39. The Call : Israel
Deut 28:1-13
12
The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his
bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to
bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many
nations but will borrow from none. 13 The LORD will
make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to
the commands of the LORD your God that I give you
this day and carefully follow them, you will always be
at the top, never at the bottom
41. The Call : Jesus
John 10:10
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill,
and to destroy. I have come that they may have life,
and that they may have it more abundantly.
43. The Challenge
Luke 12:15-21
15
And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of
covetousness,[a] for one’s life does not consist in the
abundance of the things he possesses.” 16 Then He
spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a
certain rich man yielded plentifully. 17 And he
thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do,
since I have no room to store my crops?’
44. The Challenge
Luke 12:15-21
18
So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns
and build greater, and there I will store all my crops
and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you
have many goods laid up for many years; take your
ease; eat, drink, and be merry.”’ 20 But God said to
him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of
you; then whose will those things be which you
have provided?’
50. The Challenge
• Covetousness – the internal voice
– Hoarder
– Spender
• Consumerism – the external voice

= better quality of life”
