Homily | June 6, 2026 | Success That Outlasts Applause | (Episode 149)

Published 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

We weigh life by achievements and approval, but Saint Paul weighs it by a single test: “I have kept the faith.” We connect Paul’s warning about chasing comfortable teachers with Jesus’ praise of the poor widow, and we ask what it looks like to entrust God with everything instead of giving leftovers. 

• Paul’s final words as a definition of real success 
• The world’s scorecards versus Christ’s question of faithfulness 
• A warning about refusing sound doctrine and choosing teachers who affirm us 
• Why the gospel demands conversion instead of comfort 
• The widow’s two coins as a lesson in sacrifice not surplus 
• Surrender as the heart of discipleship and a preview of the cross 
• The paradox of God’s kingdom where apparent loss becomes lasting gain
