This week, we'll explore Jesus' teachings on money and relationships, beginning with a family dispute over an inheritance as told in Luke 12:13-15. Jesus warns against covetousness and greed, highlighting how our financial behavior reflects our heart's true condition.
Together, we'll seek God’s grace and mercy as we surrender our financial struggles to Him and reflect on our financial habits and their impact on our relationships.
