Banking on Jesus: Beggars All, Luke 18:35-19:10, Dan Claire

Jesus says that you must become like a little child to enter God's kingdom, which makes it hard for people like us - especially if we're wealthy. The man who inquired with Jesus about his own fate went away sad because he was rich, yet he lacked one thing. Jesus directed him to sell his possessions, give to the poor, and follow him. True disciples of Jesus don't give him only 10%; they happily lay 100% before the one who was rich, but who became poor, so that we in our poverty might become rich in him.Banking on Jesus sermon series: Beggars AllLuke 18:35-19:10Sunday, February 16, 2025The Rev.
