What does Jesus really teach about money, wealth, and generosity?

In this powerful and practical message from guest speaker David Whiting, he unpacks Luke 12 and challenges us to rethink how we view success, wealth, and what it means to be truly “rich toward God.”

Through Jesus’ parable of the rich fool, we learn that money itself isn’t the problem—but what it does to our hearts can be. This message will help you discover how to honor God with your finances while still enjoying the blessings He’s given you.

In this message, you’ll learn:
 • Why wealth is not evil—but spiritually dangerous
 • What Jesus meant by “being rich toward God” (Luke 12:21)
 • The difference between financial success and spiritual success
 • How greed subtly shapes our thinking without us realizing it
 • Why you can win financially but lose spiritually
 • Practical ways to align your finances with God’s purposes

4 Practical Ways to Be Rich Toward God:
 • Planned Giving – Be intentional, not impulsive
 • Priority Giving – Honor God first, not with leftovers
 • Percentage Giving – Give proportionately, not randomly
 • Progressive Giving – Grow in generosity over time

Key Scriptures:
 • Luke 12:13–21
 • Proverbs 3:9–10
 • Proverbs 11:24–25
 • 1 Timothy 6:17–19
 • Ecclesiastes 5:19

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like “How much should I give?” or “What does God expect from me financially?”—this message will give you clarity, conviction, and a next step.

God has blessed you—but the goal isn’t just to be rich. It’s to be rich toward Him.
