Rich Toward God
from HopeUC Banjara Hills Hosted by HopeUC Banjara Hills
What if a billion dollars didn’t just give you freedom—but revealed where your heart truly is? Through Jesus’ parable of the rich fool in Luke 12:16–21, we explore the difference between building wealth and being controlled by it. Being “rich toward God” isn’t about having less—it’s about holding what we have with open hands. We look at biblical examples of prosperity, stewardship, and generosity, along with William Tyndale and Humphrey Monmouth’s powerful story of using wealth for God’s purposes. The question isn’t simply, “Can I grow wealth?” but “Where does my heart run first when I do?” What would being “rich toward God” look like in your life?
