Jesus explains that the people who will experience true happiness will have their hearts set on what is good, right, and pure. Jesus promises true satisfaction to their deepest longings when their deepest longings are centered in God!

Our students are going to interact with money in our world for the rest of their lives, but there are so many dangerous pitfalls. They need to learn from God’s word how to deal with and think about money.

Our words are a powerful weapon that can be used for good or evil. God’s word commands us to use our words very carefully.

We all need to recognize the danger of our own pride and seek to think, talk, and act humbly for the rest of our lives.
