A Better Worth

January 11, 2026 • Peggy Goldstein, Bill Ver Velde

Title: A Better Worth
Scripture Reading: Philippians 2:3-7a, 2 Corinthians 8:9
Series: A Better Story

Painting: https://ibb.co/wv0YyXH

In this episode, Peggy and Pastor Bill discuss the Peggy's painting which you can view here. Peggy's painting vividly contrasts worldly wealth and possessions (depicted in black and white) with the true riches found in Jesus Christ (represented in color). Peggy shares her personal journey from believing worldly success was the ultimate goal to realizing its emptiness, learning that all earthly "trappings" pale in comparison to Christ's humble sacrifice. The sermon emphasizes that through Jesus's humility—the King of the cosmos stooping to become a baby boy in a manger—we are freed from the oppressive need to pursue material wealth and instead embrace a life of true humility and purpose in Him.
