Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
Jesus tells three stories in Luke that challenge how we think about money. One man enjoys a sudden abundance and plans for a life of ease, only to discover his security was misplaced. Another has everything the world values, yet turns away when invited to trust Jesus with it. A third, long trapped by dishonest wealth, lets go freely – and finds his life transformed in a single day.
These stories show how wealth can either capture our trust or become what God uses to build our trust in him. Read more to learn how Jesus’ words in Luke still confront our assumptions about security, success, and what makes a life truly rich.

Randy Alcorn presents a biblical, comprehensive view of money and possessions, including the following questions: Why is money so important to God? How can we be liberated from materialism? What should we do about debt? How much does God want us to give? What about retirement? Inheritance? In this biblically based classic, Randy Alcorn shows us how to view these things accurately – as God’s provision for our good, the good of others, and his glory.
