Send us a text

Have you ever held a crisp hundred-dollar bill and felt that undeniable rush? Today, we confront the seductive lure of wealth and challenge the idea that our net worth is our true value. As we navigate through Jesus' teachings from the Sermon on the Mount, I recount the eye-opening story of a patient whose pursuit of riches starkly contrasted with his reluctance to support his own families. The harrowing parable of the rich man from Luke 12 sets the stage for our discourse, prompting a deep reflection on the dangerous equation of life's worth with material possessions. 

It's a journey of discernment as we scrutinize the Parable of the Rich Fool, urging you to contemplate what it means to be "rich toward God" and the perils of hoarding earthly treasures. I share a critical moment from my own life where the choice between a prosperous career and my spiritual path laid bare the essence of true treasure. Furthermore, I tackle the modern-day quandary for believers torn between worldly benefits and Kingdom principles, like couples contemplating cohabitation to save on taxes versus honoring the sanctity of marriage. This episode extends an invitation to a Spirit-led life where possessions are a means to serve, not an end in themselves, reassuring you that prioritizing God promises both eternal riches and earthly provision.
