A Problem, A Parable, A Paragon | Luke 12 13-21 - Clint Leavitt

Stories are central to the human experience; we love to tell them and love to listen to them, and we tend to walk away from them having been changed in some way. Jesus was a master storyteller: He had a way of telling stories (the Bible calls them parables) that forced His audience to ask profound and relevant questions about their lives. Listen as Pastor Clint explores Jesus' parable of the rich fool, and how Jesus is calling us to move from a life of scarcity to a life of abundance. Sermon Resources: 1.
