The parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16) has raised that question for centuries, and this sermon takes it head-on, showing that its heart is not the state of your bank account but the state of your heart: where you anchor your identity and what you count as your greatest good. The moving story of Father Damien, who went to live among the lepers of Molokai, shows what happens when God becomes someone’s true treasure. Listen and answer the two most important questions: who are you, and what is your greatest good?
