Today on Summit Life, Pastor JD Greer talks about the source of generosity.

We, little Zacchaeus, has found a greater treasure than money.

And the magnificence of that treasure snapped his dependence and his captivity to money.

Because he saw in one afternoon that Jesus was a greater God than money could ever be.

Welcome to Summit Life with Pastor JD Greer.

I'm your host, Molly Vittovich, and we are so glad that you're back with us today.

You know, for most people, money is one of the biggest stressors in our daily lives,

and this year in particular, it has taken a toll on many of us in a new way.

No matter how much we earn, it never seems to be enough to keep up or to get ahead.

And that's our subject today as we continue our new teaching series called Staying Faith.

We are learning how to avoid the traps that slow us down in the race of faith

so that we can persevere to the end.
