It hides beneath the surface, shaping how we spend, how we think, and how we treat others.\n\nThis week’s message dives into why Jesus spoke more about money and possessions than almost anything else. We unpack how modern marketing and the “myth of more” trap us in dissatisfaction, why wealth is spiritually dangerous, and how simplicity and generosity break greed’s grip on our hearts.\n\nYou’ll hear:\n✅ How wealth deceives, even if it doesn’t corrupt\n✅ Why contentment is great gain (1 Timothy 6)\n✅ How Jesus redefines true treasure\n✅ Practical ways to simplify and live generously\n\nAnd you'll be reminded: We live on through what we give."}
