What I Can Not Change

1. Introduction
   1. The Rich Family
   2. Mark 12:42-44
      Mark 12.41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
      Mark 12.42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
      Mark 12.43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
      Mark 12.44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
2. What Christ Had to say
   1. Mat. 6
   2. Matt. 23.23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
   3. Matt. 26:48-54
      Matt. 26.48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
      Matt. 26.49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
      Matt. 26.50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
      Matt. 26.51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
      Matt. 26.52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
      Matt. 26.53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
      Matt. 26.54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
   4. Mark 7.6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
   5. Luke 10:38-42
      Luke 10.38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
      Luke 10.39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
      Luke 10.40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
      Luke 10.41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
      Luke 10.42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
   6. Luke 7:36-50
3. Temptation
   1. 1Cor. 10.13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
   2. James 1:13-14
      James 1.13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
      James 1.14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
4. Conclusion Phil. 4.13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
