In the sermon titled "What Matters Most," we explore the heart of Jesus' teaching on life's true priorities. Drawing from Luke 12:6-21, Jesus reminds us of our immense value to God, warning against the dangers of greed and misplaced trust in material wealth. He tells the parable of a rich man who, focused on his possessions, neglected the reality of his soul’s condition, showing us that life is about far more than earthly treasures.
Galatians 5:6 underscores that what truly matters in the Christian life is not external rituals, but a faith that expresses itself in love. Without love, as 1 Corinthians 13 explains, nothing we say, know, believe, give, or accomplish has any eternal significance. Love is central to our calling as followers of Christ—it is a command, a choice, a conduct, and a commitment.
Ultimately, this sermon challenges us to evaluate what truly matters in our lives. We are called to live out love in everything we do, for in God’s eyes, love is the only thing that gives meaning to all else. As 1 Corinthians 13:13 says, "The greatest of these is love."
