Description

The constant barrage of 3,000 to 5,000 advertising messages daily isn't random. It's engineered to make us believe happiness lies just beyond the next purchase. But what if true wealth has nothing to do with what we own?

Pastor Jacob takes us on a journey through Jesus' counterintuitive teachings about money, revealing how our culture's obsession with accumulation leads not to contentment but to anxiety.

Drawing from scripture, Jacob reveals the dual practices that break money's hold over us: generosity (freely giving away) and simplicity (desiring less). 

Ready to experience freedom from the anxiety of constant consumption? This message offers practical steps for creating a life rich in what truly matters. Try his challenge: clean out your closet this week, donate what you don't need, and teach children the joy of generosity by helping them share their abundance with others who have less.
