This sermon explores the tension between saving and hoarding money, rooted in fear and trust, using the story of the rich young ruler (Matthew 19:16-24) to illustrate the spiritual dangers of clinging to material wealth. Pastor Chris contrasts the "Poverty Gospel," which discourages saving, and the "Prosperity Gospel," which equates faith with financial gain, emphasizing instead that the Bible encourages stewarding resources with a generous and trusting heart. Jesus’s invitation to the young man to sell his possessions reveals not a universal command but a call to examine what we prioritize over God. Hoarding stems from fear and self-reliance, while saving with simplicity enables generosity and trust in God’s provision. Ultimately, the message calls for surrendering everything to God as an act of faith and obedience, recognizing that true security and fulfillment come only from dependence on Him.
