Luke 12:13-21
Rev. Karen E. Gale preaching
"The Rich Fool"
This week Jesus is asked to referee a fight between two brothers over inheritance. Instead Jesus pivots and offers a parable about a rich fool who saves up so much stuff and money that he needs new silos to house everything so he can then enjoy life...and then dies that very night. He's a fool because he invests in things, not in God, says Jesus. What are we investing in, I wonder. Is what I've stored up with God as much a priority as what I've stored up for retirement? Or in my attic?
