Sunday, July 31 @ 10:00am
Luke 12:13-21
Rev. Kathie Pownall preaching

     This week’s scripture is about the “sensitive” subject of wealth. Questions to think about: Who helps you make your financial decisions? With whom do you share your financial information? In Luke 12:13-21, we read about a man who asked Jesus for help with a financial practice common at the time. Jesus answered him in the usual way by telling him a story. In the story the man speaks only to himself when considering his financial matters. He addresses himself as “Self.” 
     Who do you think God wants us to consult when we are making decisions about our wealth [or lack of]? How do you think those without extra abundance hear this parable? How do YOU hear it?
