description: (hide) In this offertory sermonette, John Ritenbaugh focuses on the role of money in a person’s life, indicating, in one context, outward evidence of God’s favor and in another context a source of trial and temptation. Christ emphasized interdependence and group success rather than selfishness and acquisitiveness, realizing that none of us live to ourselves, but to Christ and one another. Without sharing with others, personal success is not success. Christ changed the emphasis on success from the physical to the spiritual. Wisdom has the power to give us an abundant and satisfying life as well as true security.
