Jesus' Shocking View of Wealth
We are encouraged...almost programmed...to make our life goal to be rich, or at least to believe that money will bring happiness, security and status. Jesus' view of these things shocked even His disciples...and He gives us lots to think hard about.
Matthew 19:16-30
Proverbs 30:7-9
Sermon Discussion Questions:
How does someone inherit eternal life (how does one get "saved")?
What were some of this young man's "problems?" What was his "biggest problem"?
Why is wealth a dangerous weight (why is it so hard for the rich to get to heaven?)?
How should this teaching of Jesus and the other things the Bible say affect how we think about wealth?
How does following Jesus more than make up for what we must give up?
