Message: “JesusTheStoryTeller@Luke.edu: Truly Rich” from Pastor Doug Finkbeiner

Pursuing wealth is pervasive and encouraged in the American culture. Some people dedicate their lives to become rich, often at the cost of important relationships. Others spend their free time dreaming about winning the lottery or receiving a large inheritance from a distant uncle. However, for each of us there is a more foundational question to be answered first, “What does it mean to be truly rich?” In Luke 12:13-34 Jesus explains the important distinction between pursuing fool’s gold and pursuing true riches.

About 1/3 of Jesus’ teaching was in the form of parables. Whether we are young or old, we love the stories which are told by Jesus, because they are so engaging. We will be exploring together parables which are unique to Luke’s Gospel of Jesus Christ. We will be covering topics including the wonder of Jesus’ saving grace, the problem of self-righteousness, the pursuit of God above everything else, a passion to love the lost, the centrality of prayer, stewardship of our possessions, and the importance of focusing on the coming of Christ. May God’s Spirit use God’s Word to make us more like God’s Son.
