In last Sunday's sermon, Mo. Eliza encouraged a shift in perspective, where we might be less controlled by the things we own. From the sermon:
Jesus knows there are children to raise, bills to pay, and health to steward. What he’s asking is that we hold our possessions loosely and use them generously; to make a new beginning, a beginning that comes from within, so that by faith, we see our hearts and possessions not just as shelters, but as sanctuaries for the Holy Spirit.
Faith, after all, is not about mathematical guarantees or predictable outcomes. It’s the courage to open ourselves to new mercies, to God’s surprising abundance, even when we are unsure how tomorrow’s needs will be met. When we unclench our fists, we discover something new - the joy of living with hearts unburdened by anxiety and rooted instead in hope.
