Unyime Akpan - August 16th, 2026 - Jesus' Teachings on Riches and Wealth Lessons Don't measure life by wealth but by the richness of your relationship with God Luke 12 Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.” Relationship with God starts by believing in Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 1:12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God 22 “The time came when the beggar died.

Where was he after he died?  Was Abraham rich or poor when he lived on earth?  Abraham rich materially but more importantly rich toward God (Genesis 12 -28) suffering terribly. In Death and Eternity Why was Hell created and for who? And why was heaven created and for who? Matthew 25:31-46 Why is Abraham and Lazarus in Heaven? Why is the rich man in hell? (Believe in God; Unbelief) How can a person go to heaven and avoid going to Hell? John 3:16-17 Why was Hell created and for who? Why was heaven created and for who? Matthew 25:31-46 Jesus is speaking Son of Man –title for Jesus Christ (most common in the gospels) Coming back with all the angels, sit on his glorious throne All nations before Jesus All people (on the right (sheep) or on the left(goat) Jesus, the King The Righteous in the kingdom (heaven) Good works, heaven?

We will let the Rich man tell us Jesus said, “eternal life is certain” Jesus said, “eternal death (destruction) is also certain” The eternal destination of every person is either heaven (prepared for believers) or Hell (prepared for the devil and his angels) Hell means Eternal Suffering, Separation from God Heaven Means Eternal life, a vibrant relationship with Christ Only one thing matters: Your Relationship with Jesus Christ while you are alive Choose Jesus Christ, believe in him and grow in your relationship; or Reject Jesus and face the eternal consequences As Jesus said What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loss his soul Just ask the Rich man in Jesus story

What if faith was never meant to be a private belief you keep separate from the rest of your life?In week 5 of James: Faith At Work, we sit with one of the more difficult and controversial passages in the New Testament: James 2:14-26. James asks, to paraphrase, "What good is a claim of faith while ignoring a brother or sister in need?" He presses against a faith that separates us from our neighbors, from ourselves, and from God--faith that merely confesses the truth, all while leaving daily life untouched.This teaching reflects on James' warning about dead faith, his examples of Abraham and Rahab, and the deeper beauty underneath the warning: living faith is not performance. It is not self-justification. It is the whole person moving toward Christ. Faith is brought to fullness as the implanted word works through us in love, mercy, provision, and ordinary obedience.Questions for Reflection:What areas of my life have I separated from my faith?How is my faith at work in my daily life and community?What would tomorrow look like if I responded to faith at work within me?Scripture References: James 2:14-26, James 1:18, James 1:21, James 1:27, Matthew 25:34-40, John 13:35, Genesis 15:6, Genesis 22, Romans 3:28, Deuteronomy 6:4, Philippians 2:12-13, Psalm 107:1-9Voices/Quotes: Douglas J.

Albert Einstein once said, “The world is too dangerous to live in, not because of the people who do evil but because of the people who sit and let it happen.”  Years ago, Edmund Burke said, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”  In the New Testament James says, “Whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.”  Some people just go through life and always talk about things that ought to be done and never do them.  Evil overcomes when good people fail to act in a given situation.  Good never overcomes evil when people just talk about what should be done.  On this Memorial Day spend time thanking God and remembering those who gave their lives so you could have your life.

What a challenging statement that is, “all who hate me love death”! It is the final statement in Proverbs ch. 8, a chapter which begins with the question, ”Does not wisdom call?”. Call? – this is a Hebrew word that occurs 16 times in Proverbs, for example, 1 v.24 :”I have called and you refused to listen.”In today's chapter, it is followed by the parallel question, “Does not understanding raise her voice?” How many fail to understand, especially today; even try to understand the reason for life, what it is all about!This remarkable chapter personifies “wisdom” as a person who is totally wise in the way they live their lives. “My mouth will utter truth” says wisdom, “wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are righteous, there is nothing crooked or twisted in them.”[v.7,8]Wisdom has a sister called ”Prudence” – a word which the dictionary defines as the quality of being foreseeing and discreet – and so in v.12 we read, I wisdom dwell with prudence and I find knowledge and discretion” as a result.The next verses say, “The fear (awe) of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. I have counsel and sound wisdom; I have insight; I have strength. By me kings reign and rulers decree what is just” Is there a ruler who can be described in this way now? Even Solomon in his old age faltered.In the New Testament James states that, in contrast to human wisdom, “the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” [3 v.17] . Jesus is the embodiment of wisdom and one day soon he will return from his Father's side to reign with true wisdom and those who have loved wisdom will rejoice and receive “fruit” because of their love.The final quotation we will select is “My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold … granting an inheritance to those who love me … [v.19,21] And what an inheritance! In contrast – remember how the chapter ends, “all those who hate me love death” Of course they do not “love” death” but because they turn their back on wise thinking and doing – in God's eyes they “love death.” There is no ‘in between' position in life, it is either the broad way or the narrow way! How increasingly uncomfortable it must be to try to ‘walk' having a foot on each path! Too late – it is realised it is impossible! God is calling – are you really listening?
