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.

Have you ever had someone tap you on the shoulder and invite you into something bigger than yourself? That’s what happened to Elisha. Elijah didn’t give him a job description or a ministry title. He simply threw his mantle over Elisha’s shoulders—a call not first to speak, but to follow. Before Elisha would stand as a prophet, he had to walk behind one.
This moment isn’t only about Elisha—it’s about us. Jesus does the same. He calls us to follow, to lay aside self and security, to step out of our fields and into His path. That call doesn’t just reach into Sunday mornings—it stretches into every corner of our lives, into our homes, our work, our relationships. The mantle of Christ rests on us, and the question is: how will we respond? A sermon on 1 Kings 19:19-21.
