Treasure and the Long Game

In the middle of teaching a crowd, Jesus is interrupted by a family inheritance dispute. What follows is not financial advice, but a deeper exposure of the human heart. In a world that tells us security comes from accumulation, Jesus tells a story about barns, anxiety, and treasure—and invites us to consider where our trust really lives. If resurrection is the horizon of the story, then the Kingdom of God offers a different kind of security: not the fragile certainty of what we can store, but the freedom of trusting the Father who gives the Kingdom. From Luke 12:13–34, Terry shares "Treasure and the Long Game."

Series Information

Lent through Pentecost traces the long road of Jesus toward Jerusalem — toward suffering, surrender, resurrection, and ultimately the sending of the Spirit. Again and again, the disciples misunderstand the path. They expect quick victory, visible power, and immediate clarity. Instead, Jesus keeps leading them deeper into a Kingdom that moves differently than the world expects. In this series, Terry walks us through the slower rhythms of faith — waiting instead of rushing, trusting instead of controlling, and discovering, often later than we expected, that resurrection was already moving beneath the surface. From ashes to fire, from wilderness to empty tomb, from fear to witness, The Long Game invites us to follow Jesus not merely toward Easter morning, but toward the kind of life that can only be formed over time.
