Setting Rich Goals

Not every goal worth chasing makes us successful by the world’s standards. Jesus invites us to set goals that make us rich toward God instead.

About this series

Possessions are tricky. If we’re not careful, the stuff we own ends up owning us. We fall victim to the trap of defining ourselves by what we have, what we do, what we lack, or how we’ve failed. Or worse, we forget everything we have is a gracious gift from God entrusted to us for a time. Jesus’s parable of the rich fool addresses all of the ways wealth can seduce us into a smaller life. By the end of this 4-part series, you’ll experience a dramatic shift in how you view your identity, your possessions, and their place in your life. By setting better goals, you’ll learn to become the right kind of rich.
