August 18, 2019 - Luke 12:22-34 - "The Weight of Worry"

Last week we heard God’s warnings against all kinds of greed. In the very words out of Jesus’ mouth in our Gospel lesson today, he warns against all kinds of worry over earthly matters. What is worry after all? Isn’t it just the fear that what we do, what we have, and who we are will never be enough? Yet elemental to the Christian is Spirit-given faith which holds onto our Father’s promises to provide, protect, and preserve us into eternal life. Such God given priorities are key to our faith and transcend this world.
