  • What You Have Defines Your Worth Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Jul 14, 2025
     | 836 views

    The world says your value is measured by what you own—status, wealth, and accomplishments. But God says your worth is found in who you are (your character) and whose you are (your identity in Christ). We are not defined by what we accumulate, but by our foundation in Him.

    ### **Introduction:*** This morning, we are continuing our series “Lies the World Tells,” and today we are going after a big one. But before we dive into Scripture, I want to start by letting someone else do the talking. You see, there is a video that’s been floating around for years — some of ...read more

  • Sorrow And Vanity Versus Life In Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 30, 2025
     | 245 views

    We know what brings happiness, and it's not more and more "stuff."

    Eighteenth Sunday in Course 2025 It’s always a challenge to interpret a public proclamation that begins with the word “If,” as today’s reading from St. Paul does. He tells the church at Colossae (and us) “If you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand ...read more

  • Rich Towards God

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jul 31, 2025
     | 491 views

    The Parable of the Rich Fool teaches us not to hoard the blessing God's lavishes upon us. We find ways to share, give, and provide for others in need with a generous spirit.

    IN HIS SERMON “THE USE OF MONEY,” JOHN WESLEY SAID IN REGARDS TO EARTHLY TREASURES, “EARN ALL YOU CAN, SAVE ALL YOU CAN, AND GIVE ALL YOU CAN.” OUR PARABLE DOES NOT CONDEMN WEALTH OR BEING PROSPEROUS OR HAVING MANY POSESSIONS. IN FACT, THE CHURCH DOES NOT TEACH AGAINST IT, BUT RATHER CALLS US TO ...read more

    Money is a thorny question and many of us think we are less rich than we are. "Money dysmorphia". In Luke 12:13-21 Jesus challenges us on our attitude.

    This sermon was first preached 3rd July 2025 at St Grabriel's Acton. It builds on some of my previous sermons on the topic preached elsewhere especially "Frenchie upsets his dad"; "Baking bigger cakes - wealth creation the Wesley Way" and "Generous Wallet Happy ...read more

  • Where Your Treasure Lies

    Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Aug 14, 2025
     | 132 views

    But Jesus, with divine wisdom, sees beyond the surface conflict to the heart issue that threatens both brothers: greed. In response, He tells one of His most sobering parables, a story that cuts through our material obsessions and calls us to examine where we place our trust and hope.

    The scene opens with a dispute over inheritance - a matter as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago. But Jesus, with divine wisdom, sees beyond the surface conflict to the heart issue that threatens both brothers: greed. In response, He tells one of His most sobering parables, a story ...read more

    based on 136 ratings
     | 17,749 views

    Through a parable about a "rich fool" Jesus gave a sharp warning about the love of money. Greed leads to a false view of life. Greed leads to a fool’s death.

    “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10) That passage from the Apostle Paul’s first letter to Timothy is well known. It seems that many people who know little else about the Bible can quote that particular passage. Perhaps it is familiar and frequently quoted ...read more

    God wants us to enjoy life, but not without a relationship with Him. Beware of the danger of greed and placing one’s confidence in earthly possessions.

    Jesus was teaching His disciples when He was interrupted by someone who wanted him to resolve a family dispute over inheritance. He was not really asking for advice. He wanted Jesus to stand on his side and "tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." (v.13). He wanted Jesus to get the ...read more
