Summary
In this episode, we explore a biblical worldview on money, possessions, and giving through Jesus’ teachings in the Sermon on the Mount. With everyday examples, Pastor Greg Laurie challenges our obsession with “stuff” and reminds us that life is not measured by what we own, but by our relationship with God. Learn why we should see ourselves as stewards—not owners—and how that impacts the way we live.

| 0:53.3 | I want to talk to you today about stuff. And by stuff, I mean, you know, |

| 1:37.3 | Comedian George Carlin said that that's what a house is for. It's a place to put your stuff. In fact, if you didn't have so much |
