In our new series GREAT GAIN, we're challenged to examine our relationship with money and generosity through the lens of godliness. The story of the rich young ruler in Luke 18 serves as a stark reminder that possessions can possess us, hindering our spiritual growth. We're asked to consider: do we possess our possessions, or do they possess us? This narrative invites us to reflect on what we might need to 'lack' in order to fully embrace the kingdom of heaven. The message emphasizes that true godliness often requires us to loosen our grip on worldly security and trust more deeply in God's provision. As we contemplate this, we're encouraged to open our hands and hearts, asking God how He wants us to use the gifts He's given us for His kingdom purposes.
