Ninth Sunday after Pentecost

What Makes Christians Different? Christians seek spiritual wealth

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Of all the things you call your own, what do you value the most/ What do you consider your life’s top priorities? 

 

Many people start their list with family and friends. Financial security and health follow closely. Reputation and recreation make the cut. How about faith? Is it the top priority? Is it in the Top 10? What if other priorities must be sacrificed to keep faith the top priority?

 

The Bible helps Christians keep worldly wealth in perspective. It can buy the things of this world, things, but it doesn't last. It can buy things that rust and decay, but there is something more valuable. True wealth is spiritual wealth. It is found only in God and his eternal blessings for us in Christ.
