Root to Flourish #12: Jesus and Wealth with Josh Liem | ALMSGIVING04

Pilgrim Church

Join us this Sunday as we delve into Jesus' transformative teachings in Luke 12:13-34. We'll explore the parable of the rich fool and examine wealth accumulation, generosity, and being "rich toward God." Come discover how embracing Kingdom values can lead us to a life of genuine flourishing and impact in our communities.
