Am I rich?

 October 13, 2024

“I am the rich Jesus is talking about???”

When Jesus says, “It is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God” many of us as Americans get uncomfortable…

Are they for us?  Are we the rich Jesus is addressing?  Or do the rich refer to the “Scrooge McDuck”s of the world, the people obscenely wealthy?

Pastor Rob offers two questions to wrestle with in determining whether our money is a problem

1. Do our possessions possess us or do we possess our possessions?
2. Is our identity wrapped up in our wealth and possessions?

Toward the end of the sermon, Pastor Rob offers two powerful words of grace

1. We are works in progress, trying to figure out faith and finances
2. We are worship in progress.  Life is about more thing than consumption of things, it is about worshipping the Lord!
