One of the ways that money grabs hold of our heart is through fear—fear of the future, fear of not having enough. Jesus tells us that the Father cares for us, and we have no need to worry. Instead of fixating on money, we need to train our heart to seek his kingdom first and invest ourselves there.

How can we be "faithless" (2 Timothy 2:13) and still be saved? Is "once saved, always saved" actually true? Isn't salvation a contract? Do we have to keep up our end? Or are we really safe no matter what?
You can be outwardly religious and still be inwardly rebellious.
Teaching from Luke 15, Dr. Youssef turns to the older son in Jesus’ parable—a man who appeared faithful, yet whose heart was cold, resentful, and unwilling to celebrate grace. His problem was not open rebellion, but self-righteousness.
Jesus reveals that prideful religion can be just as deadly as obvious sin because it resists mercy, rejects grace, and prevents genuine repentance. The older son wanted reward without relationship and obedience without the Father’s heart.
Yet the Father goes out to plead with him, just as He welcomed the younger son home. This picture points to the costly mercy of God and the saving work of Jesus Christ for Jew and Gentile alike.
This episode calls listeners to:
Grace humbles the proud and restores the repentant. The question is not simply whether we are near the Father’s house, but whether our hearts are truly near the Father.
Scripture Focus: Luke 15:25-32
