Most of us do not feel rich. We just feel like we never have enough. We live in a culture of Amazon boxes, comparison, and quiet anxiety about money, and it is easy to believe that life really does consist in the abundance of our possessions.

In this teaching, Pastor Darren Rouanzoin walks through Acts 4, Luke 12, John the Baptist’s call to repentance, and the story of Zacchaeus to show that Jesus cares deeply about how we relate to our stuff. Not because he wants something from us, but because he wants freedom for us.

You will hear real stories from our church family of canceled debts, unexpected cars given away, rent covered, and spontaneous offerings that could only be explained by grace. Then Pastor Darren presses into the deeper question behind all of it: what would Jesus see if he looked at your bank statement, and what would change if he was truly in charge of your finances?

This message is for anyone who feels the pull of consumerism, who feels suspicious of the church and money, or who longs to live with open hands but does not know how to start.
