- God cares for sparrows and knows each hair on our heads.
- Why won't people be forgiven if the blaspheme the Spirit?
- How can people blaspheme the Spirit?
- Don't worry what to say for the Spirit will speak on your behalf.
- A man wanted his half of his inheritance and Jesus told a parable of a rich man who built many storehouses for his abundant grain only to find out that his life would be taken from him that very day.
- What does this say about preparing for the future?

- We should first seek God's kingdom and everything we're tempted to be anxious about will be provided for us also!!
- Jesus says the Son of Man will come at an hour they don't expect and it will be to their honor to be ready for that time.

1 Corinthians 13
- How can we have faith withour love?
- Paul is emphasizing the importance of love.
- The only way to gain anything is to have love.
- Paul lists what love is: "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; [2] 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
- These aspects of love should exist in every relationship at all times. This list is a great way to evaluate your relationships with people, spouses, friends, enemies, etc.
- Love is the only thing that won't pass away. Even our giftings will pass away.
- Paul said he used to think like a child, but now has given up childish ways.
- Paul is looking forward to seeing the love in heaven which now he only glimpses on earth. He longs for this.
- Faith, hope, and love are important, but love is the greatest.
