Episode Details

This Lenten season we are examining Jesus' teachings about wealth, poverty, generosity and the behaviors of the Christian around their money and possessions. But behavior does not arise out of nowhere. Behavior stems from belief. What we believe about God and God's provision impacts how we give and save; how we spend and share. When Jesus was asked a question about dividing an inheritance, he started telling stories about birds and barns (Luke 12:13-34). It seems worry leads to greed, but one can "sell your possessions and give to the poor" when you believe your life means more than a ravens and the greatest treasure is in heaven.
