Gluttony & Greed

In this sermon, we kick off our Lenten series "Glitch" by confronting our impulse to possess rather than receive. When we move from "wow" to "mine," we reveal the twin sins of greed and gluttony—not moral failures to be ashamed of, but glitches in our connection to God and others. Through Jesus's loving encounter with the rich young man, we discover how our grasping hands reflect a deeper grief about our limitations, and how true liberation comes when we unclench our fists. What if the path to resurrection begins with honest recognition of what's "eating at the rind" of our souls?
