Where Your Treasure Is: Jesus and Money
Jesus spoke about money more than almost any other subject. Not because money is evil, but because it is one of the most powerful rivals to God for the loyalty of the human heart.
Consider the lilies. Do not worry about tomorrow. Jesus called his followers to a deep, settled trust in the goodness of God — even when circumstances say otherwise.

Jesus does not dismiss anxiety with a command to cheer up. He points to the birds and the flowers and invites us into a different way of seeing — one rooted in the character of the Father.
Jesus did not say 'go and make converts.' He said 'go and make disciples.' The difference is everything.
What did Jesus mean when he spoke of the Kingdom? Not a distant place but a present reality — God's reign breaking into the everyday. These teachings explore what it means to live under that reign now.
The radical, costly, unconditional love Jesus both taught and embodied — and the forgiveness he extended freely and called his followers to extend in turn.
Jesus withdrew often to pray. He taught his disciples how to pray. These teachings explore the practice of honest, unhurried communion with God.

The last shall be first. The greatest shall be servant of all. Jesus modelled a way of power that the world has never fully understood — and calls us to do the same.
