This sermon examines the way money and possessions exert unhealthy influence on us. In this passage from Mark, Jesus gives a rich young man a very difficult task: to sell his possessions and give them to the poor. This command rightly shocks us, because most of us live with many possessions. Money and possessions can warp our priorities, and make us forget the things which are of greater value. Jesus' challenge here should make us rethink our priorities and ask whether the way we spend our time and money really reflect who Jesus wants us to be.
