Sunday's sermon focused on a familiar encounter Jesus had with a very rich, young ruler. In spite of Jesus' reminder that only God is good, this man thought he was good enough to get to heaven on his own merit. Jesus knew otherwise and challenged him to give away his riches to the poor. Doing so isn't a requirement to salvation but reveals the priority of our heart and our wellness to follow Jesus. When the man walked away sad, Jesus taught his disciples that it's harder for a rich man to get to heaven than for a camel to get through the eye of a needle. Why is that? When we have wealth, we tend to 1) rely on ourselves, 2) miss the work of God in our lives, and 3) focus only on ourselves. Those behaviors often cause us to walk away from rather than follow Jesus. We were challenged together to make sure we consider how our own wealth can affect our relationship with Jesus!
