Nope to Hoarding // Nope // Lake Sawyer Church

Mar 1, 2026    Mike Ferrulli

In a world that quietly encourages us to accumulate more, Epistle of James 5 confronts the spiritual danger of hoarding and misplaced trust. Wealth and possessions aren’t the problem—but when they become our source of security, they can slowly replace our dependence on God.


This message challenges us to shift from hoarding to stewarding, recognizing that everything we have is entrusted to us for a purpose. With insight from First Epistle to Timothy 6, we’re reminded that generosity is not about guilt—it’s about trust, surrender, and living open-handed with what God has given.
