In God We Trust.
In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our hearts and priorities through the lens of the rich young ruler's encounter with Jesus. This familiar story from Matthew 19 takes on new depth as we consider the man's moral wealth and physical riches - two things that seemed to be in his favor, yet ultimately held him back from true discipleship. We're reminded that God's love isn't tied to our performance, but to His unchanging nature. The message urges us to work from God's approval, not for it, shifting our perspective on security and significance. Are we, like the rich young ruler, holding onto something that prevents us from fully following Christ? This teaching invites us to consider what 'idols' we might be clinging to, and challenges us to trust God with not just our finances, but our entire lives.
