Message in Brief
In this message, Pastor Ratna Maitra reflects on Mark 10:21-22, where Jesus asks the rich young ruler to sell his possessions, give to the poor, and follow Him.

Pastor Ratna emphasizes that believers must not let material blessings hinder their total surrender to God. True spiritual richness comes from holding God above earthly treasures and using God-given resources to help orphans, widows, and those in need.
Key Truths
