1. We thank God for this message by S. Greg Lewis.  Through this message we learned about how to be rich toward God.
First, trust God and learn from the ravens and lilies. (13-30)  No one should be consumed by excessive greed or worry.  Instead we trust the love, power, and provision of the Creator God.  God has a good reason we are the way we are.  We accept this, enjoy life and live as a blessing.
Second, seek his kingdom. (31-32)  We cannot immediately set high and lofty expectations from God.  He is pleased to give us the kingdom.  At the same time, we must seek it.  We learned the manna principle of experiencing God in our needs.  Then greater needs come the require God’s mercy. 
Third, store treasure in heaven. (33-34)  This means to invest our time in people, to practice regular offerings, and to pray and invest in world mission.
