Sermon: What is Your Most Precious Possession in Life?

Some material possessions are vital for our life on earth. For example, we need a material body to live on earth as human beings, and living in this material world has its own spiritual purpose.

In the Gospel of Mark 10, we read about a certain man who was rich with great possessions. When the Lord asked him to go sell whatever he has and give to the poor, and that he will have treasure in heaven, the person went home very sad.

What does it mean to sell what we have?

An other question I ask myself is: How much material possessions do we need to be happy?

I am constantly reminded of the following:  “For what profits a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul”

Is true happiness found in material possessions?

What possession makes you happy the most?

If you were to ask for one thing in life, what would that thing be?

The Lord said in Luke 12:

“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell the possessions you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Love.
