In this episode of Seeking with Shari, “Rich Rewards,” Shari delves into the biblical concept of rewards, contrasting the costly pursuit of earthly gain with the enduring value of God’s blessings. Released in December 2025, this message encourages believers to weigh the price of their choices against the eternal riches God offers. Shari reminds us that while following Christ requires sacrifice, the rewards He has in store—both in this life and the next, far outweigh any earthly cost.
Through her message and these scriptures, she highlights the assurance of God’s faithful repayment:
-
Matthew 10:41-42 “Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward… And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward”. This verse assures us that even the smallest acts of kindness and support for God’s work are noticed and rewarded by Him.

1 Corinthians 3:12-15 “If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward”. Paul uses the metaphor of building with different materials to teach that our works will be tested; those built on the foundation of Christ will have enduring value and bring eternal reward.

Hebrews 10:35, 11:6 “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded… because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him”. These verses exhort us to maintain our bold faith and confidence in God, promising that He is a faithful rewarder of those who diligently pursue Him.

Luke 18:28-30 “Truly I tell you… no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life”. Jesus comforts those who have made sacrifices for the Kingdom, promising abundant repayment both now and in eternity.
