Pastor McKinley teaches that Jesus warns against the deception of greed, reminding us that life does not consist in the abundance of possessions but in being “rich toward God.” He emphasizes that instead of living in worry or dependence on government, Christians are called to trust God’s care, work responsibly, and practice generous stewardship that invests in eternity. Ultimately, because Christ has “paid it forward” through the cross, believers are called to live with grateful, open-handed generosity that blesses others and advances God’s kingdom.
