This podcast episode, from St. Francis Episcopal Church in Houston, Texas, features a sermon by Father Stuart Bates that explores the Christian perspective on wealth, greed, and generosity. Father Bates discusses how modern culture encourages constant consumption, contrasting it with Jesus's teachings on not accumulating possessions. He uses the parable of the rich fool to illustrate the dangers of covetousness and emphasizes the importance of trusting God, being thankful, and using blessings to help others. The sermon concludes by outlining three practices—tithing, moderating personal needs, and cultivating generosity—as ways to avoid greed and build treasure in heaven.
