First Things First
Manage episode 240768446 series 2421920
Money has an important part in our lives. It's a great tool to help us achieve our goals. Yet, it has a nasty tendency to tell us that it is itself the goal we should work for. In today's sermon, Fr. Stephen reflects on Jesus' challenge about money and material things. Jesus doesn't tell everybody to go without work and savings. But he does tell us not to let them rule our lives. When we do, we are diminished as human beings and don't live up to God's hopes for us.
Scripture Reference: Luke 12:13-21
Preached on the 8th Sunday after Pentecost, August 4, 2019 by Rev. Stephen Silverthorne
Sermon Highlights
- We all tend to prioritize the wrong things
- Jesus urges us to put God and neighbour first
- Make time for Jesus to give you a reality check
- Acknowledge our dependence on God
- Acknowledge our responsibility to provide for neighbours
