Episode 57 | Building Bigger Barns
Update: 2025-07-31
Description
Jesus tells us that worldly riches don’t ensure heavenly happiness. He reminds us that our success cannot be measured by the abundance of our possessions, that building bigger barns to store more stuff won’t ensure happiness, and worldly wealth won’t impress God or gain us a place in the kingdom of heaven. So, what does make us right with God? Saint Paul advises us to seek the things that are above, not the things of this earth. That’s good advice, but how do we follow that in a world that values a different message?
