Sam continued our series “Smash the Idol, Build an Altar”, focusing this week on the idol of money.

He reminded us that the real issue isn’t our money — it’s our worship. Money itself isn’t bad; it’s the love of money that takes God’s place in our hearts. Sam explored the story of the rich man in Mark 10:17–27, showing how Jesus calls us to wholehearted devotion: to love God fully and to love our neighbours well.

We were challenged to reflect honestly: What do we worship — God or money?

Choosing God gives us true value, power, identity, and status. Jesus invites us to surrender, not by focusing on the amount we give, but by offering Him our whole heart.
