In the story of the rich young ruler, Jesus reveals a trap many of us fall into: the love of wealth and the illusion of security it gives. To gain true, abundant life, Jesus calls us to let go of what holds us captive—our possessions, our comforts, and anything that keeps us from fully following Him. True freedom comes when we step out of the trap and into His Kingdom, trusting Him above all else. A sermon on Luke 18:18-30.

Jesus teaches us to live with eyes open to His Kingdom—which is already present among us because He is present. Attentive living means we don’t drift through life clinging to what is temporary, but stay awake to what truly matters. Like the people in Noah’s or Lot’s day, it’s easy to be absorbed in daily routines and miss what God is doing. Jesus calls us to watchfulness, readiness, and a willingness to loosen our grip on possessions so we can hold fast to Him. We live today with resurrection hope, alert and anchored in Christ. A sermon on Luke 17:20-37.
