Sell all that you have, and follow Me

About this sermon

The story of the rich young man who couldn’t bear to give up his wealth is often interpreted to say that wealth can be nothing but an obstacle to serving and following Christ. However, Fr Vincent Temirov asks us to consider a different understanding: the rich young man was not hindered by wealth in and of itself, but by his attachment to it and by his own self-reliance. What is hindering us from trusting everything to God? What do we need to give over to Him in our own lives?
