Beyond Bigger Barns

Today's Gospel lesson is from Luke 12:13-21. Jesus responds to an inheritance dispute with a parable about a rich fool who hoards his abundance rather than sharing with the community. The sermon explores different forms of greed beyond material wealth, examining how our relationship with resources - whether money, attention, or influence - reflects our spiritual priorities and understanding of God's kingdom economics. Through this lens, we see how true security comes not from what we store up, but from how we participate in God's economy of grace and mutual care.
