Summary

The sermon uses the wisdom of the ant and the teachings of Jesus regarding saving money to illustrate the importance of foresight and planning for the future. The speaker emphasizes that humans possess a conscience, which is a superior trait compared to animals, and that believers must live with a clear conscience and plan responsibly rather than spending everything immediately.

What can we learn from the ant?Proverbs teaches that the ant prepares its food in the summer and saves for the winter without any ruler, showing us the wisdom of saving for the future.

Parents saving for their childrenWhile we should not lay up treasures selfishly for ourselves, scripture indicates that parents must save up for their children.2 Corinthians 12:14

Turning away from the way of righteousnessSecond Peter warns that knowing the way of righteousness and turning away from it makes a person like an animal returning to its vomit or mud.2 Peter 2:21

Accountability based on the light receivedGod holds us to a higher standard and expects an account based on how much knowledge of righteousness we have received.

Learning step by step like school standardsJust as God took six days to create the world to teach us a lesson, spiritual change happens little by little as our conscience becomes more sensitive.

The ten lepers and giving thanks to GodWhen Jesus cleansed ten lepers, only one returned to give thanks, showing that God has the right to expect thanks and glory from us.

Not expecting thanks from othersWhen we do good to others, we must not expect them to say thank you, because ultimately we are doing it as unto the Lord.

Loving Jesus by feeding His sheep without a salaryJesus asked Peter three times if he loved Him, and told him to feed His sheep, a principle followed by elders in CFC who serve without taking a salary.

Looking forward to Christ's returnFirst John teaches that everyone who has the hope of seeing Christ face-to-face and becoming like Him will keep purifying himself.

Cleansing ourselves from pride and selfishnessDaily purification means moving away from internal sins like anger, lying, hypocrisy, and especially pride and selfishness.

Being renewed day by dayAs Paul experienced, our inner man is renewed every single day, helping us grow more christ-like in our reactions rather than staying at the same level.2 Corinthians 4:16

Having ears to hear what God saysJesus frequently said that he who has ears to hear let him hear, reminding us to listen to God in our hearts.
