That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” [36] Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. [37] A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. [38] Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” [39] He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. [40] He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” [41] They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’... For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.”

Matthew 6:31–32 (NKJV)

Romans 12:1-2

14. “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them.

15. To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.

16. The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more.

17. So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more.

18. But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

19. “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.

20. The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’

21. “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

22. “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’

23. “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

24. “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

25. So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’

26. “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?

27. Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.

28. “ ‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags.

29. For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.

30. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

13. When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

14. They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

15. “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

16. Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

17. Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.

18. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

19. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

3. For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—

Luke 15:17-24

17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

Breaking free from a poverty mindset requires shifting from scarcity to abundance, from survival to growth, and from fear to faith. This means rejecting limiting beliefs and embracing the truth that resources, opportunities, and success are not just for a select few but are accessible to those who take action, learn, and trust in God’s provision.

1. Later that day, Jesus left the house and sat by the lakeshore to teach the people.

2. Soon, there were so many people surrounding him that he had to teach sitting in a boat while the large crowd stood on the shore.

3. He taught them many things by using stories, parables that would illustrate spiritual truths, saying: “Consider this: There was a farmer who went out to sow seeds.

4. As he cast his seeds, some fell along the beaten path and the birds came and ate them.

5. Other seeds fell onto gravel that had no topsoil. The seeds quickly shot up,

6. but when the days grew hot, the sprouts were scorched and withered because they had insufficient roots.

7. Other seeds fell among the thorns and weeds, so when the seeds sprouted, so did the weeds, crowding out the good plants.

8. But other seeds fell on good, rich soil that kept producing a good harvest. Some yielded thirty, some sixty, and some even one hundred times as much as he planted!

9. If you’re able to understand this, then you need to respond.”

A new week is a fresh opportunity: to make things right, honor God, and improve upon what we did before. Whatever tasks or goals you weren’t able to accomplish last week, don’t dwell on them. Instead, approach this week with renewed energy, passion, and purpose. Let go of yesterday’s regrets—it’s gone. This week is a new chance to move forward and do better with the Lord’s help.

Luke 17;28-32 Is the Gist for this podcast.

As we go through this week, know that you’re extraordinary—not because of anything you’ve done, but because of who lives within you. Embrace this truth, respond to His promptings, and allow God to use you for something eternal. Have a blessed and purposeful week ahead. Shalom!

Remember that you are precious to the Lord and that you matter to Him.
