WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE?

This Jesus Stories episode delves deep into Jesus’ teaching on greed, worry, and generosity. We connect all three concepts and the life-giving focus which bypasses greed and worry to leaning on Jehovah God for everything we need and more. Such reliance on Jehovah leads to generosity and the accumulation of treasures in heaven.
