True Treasure, James 5:1-6

What this episode covers

In this episode, pastor Ben Smith preaches from James 5:1-6. It challenges listeners to confront their definition of "rich." The sermon explores the core question: "What is your true treasure?"—is it the comforts and luxuries of this world, or the word, will, and kingdom of God?. The sermon clarifies that wealth itself is not inherently evil or righteous, but it presents significant spiritual dangers. Pastor Ben identifies three major sins that flow from wealth: hoarding, acquiring wealth unjustly, and becoming unconcerned with eternity. Through biblical examples and modern-day statistics, the episode calls both the "wickedly wealthy" to repentance and faithful believers to use their God-given resources for kingdom work rather than personal indulgence.
