The Story of Wanting Too Much
May 24 • Pastor Mike Holwerda • Luke 18:18–30
Pastor Mike Holwerda explores the story of the rich ruler who wanted eternal life but struggled to let go of the thing he treasured most. Through this powerful conversation with Jesus, we’re reminded that following Christ is not just transactional — it’s relational.
Jesus challenges us to examine our hearts and ask what has become a “false god” in our lives. Is it money? Control? Success? Comfort? Whatever we cling to most can quietly compete with our relationship with God.
But the good news is this: Jesus gave up everything for us. He opened His hands, laid down His life, and offered us eternal life through grace. What feels impossible for us is possible with God.
Money may be good, but Jesus is better.
