James 5:1-6 | July 20, 2025 | Pastor Todd Smith

In James 5:1-6, we're challenged to examine our relationship with wealth and possessions. The passage warns against hoarding riches and reminds us that true treasure is found in heaven, not on earth. We're called to reflect on how we use our resources - are we storing up earthly wealth that corrodes, or investing in eternal values? This message urges us to be generous givers rather than selfish hoarders, echoing Jesus' teaching that it's more blessed to give than to receive. As we consider our own financial practices, we're prompted to ask: Are we using our blessings wisely for God's kingdom, or are we clinging to them for our own comfort? This introspection can lead us to a more Christ-like approach to wealth, one that values generosity and compassion over self-indulgence.
