October 13, 2024, Pentecost 21B, Shalom in Finances: "A Healthy Unfaith"

When we hear Jesus tell the rich young man to sell everything he owns, give the money to the poor, and follow him, we may feel deeply uncomfortable. After all, how many things do we own? But for Jesus, things are more than things; they can be objects of faith and trust. How does Jesus break our faith in things? And how does he redirect our faith? Pastor David preaches “A Healthy Unfaith” based on Mark 10:17-31When we hear Jesus tell the rich young man to sell everything he owns, give the money to the poor, and follow him, we may feel deeply uncomfortable.
