     | 2,716 views

    A sermon about priorities.

    “Where Can I Put My Stuff?” Luke 12:13-21 In a monologue, a comedian talks about our obsession with the accumulation of material possessions, and the modern anxiety for which it is both the cause and result: “You got your stuff with you?” he asks his audience. “Guys have stuff in their ...read more

    Sermon # 6 - Lessons From Three Kings Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 19, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 932 views

    Are we at peace with those around us? Do we remain content or is there a spirit of covetousness? Are we overcomers or do we give in to temptations? The record of three Kings will help us examine our own lives so we can realize where we stand.

    In the previous sermon we studied in depth about the need to make wise, and godly choices. We were reminded that while some decisions are inconsequential, others have a permanent effect on our lives. We considered Abraham and his nephew Lot. Lot made some wrong choices that landed him in Sodom, ...read more

    Hoarder Or Steward? Series

     | 3,936 views

    This parable illustrates the deceitfulness of guarded wealth. It is a stewardship parable, in the fact that it addresses the issue of our use of resources, both monetary and spiritual. The lesson we will learn is “use it, or lose it.”

    This morning’s message is entitled “Hoarder or Steward?” O. S. Hawkins, who is with GuideStone Financial Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention, asks, “At the end of your life will you be considered a hoarder or a steward?”(1) We’re going to look at a parable this morning; one which is ...read more

    Seeking Self-Justification Series

    Contributed by Mary Erickson on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,603 views

    Part of a Lenten Sermon Series on people in the gospels who seek out Jesus. This week we consider less than pure motivations in “Seeking Self-Justification.” We hear the story of a man who wants Jesus to settle a dispute between him and his brother.

    March 30, 2022 Hope Lutheran Church Rev. Mary Erickson Luke 12:13-21 Seeking Self-Justification Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord. Why do we seek Jesus? For direction, for help, for forgiveness. There are many reasons. And if ...read more

    The real fools are those who, being satisfied with their lives as they are, forget God, forget their neighbors, and forget their mortality.

    What is wrong with this picture? Imagine that you are in the audience that long-ago day in Judea, listening to Jesus preach. There are thousands in the crowd, but you got there early. In fact, you waited all night to get a good seat. Jesus’ reputation has grown all over Palestine, and people have ...read more

    Sorrow And Vanity Versus Life In Christ

    We know what brings happiness, and it's not more and more "stuff."

    Eighteenth Sunday in Course 2025 It’s always a challenge to interpret a public proclamation that begins with the word “If,” as today’s reading from St. Paul does. He tells the church at Colossae (and us) “If you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand ...read more

    Rich Towards God

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jul 31, 2025
     | 497 views

    The Parable of the Rich Fool teaches us not to hoard the blessing God's lavishes upon us. We find ways to share, give, and provide for others in need with a generous spirit.

    IN HIS SERMON “THE USE OF MONEY,” JOHN WESLEY SAID IN REGARDS TO EARTHLY TREASURES, “EARN ALL YOU CAN, SAVE ALL YOU CAN, AND GIVE ALL YOU CAN.” OUR PARABLE DOES NOT CONDEMN WEALTH OR BEING PROSPEROUS OR HAVING MANY POSESSIONS. IN FACT, THE CHURCH DOES NOT TEACH AGAINST IT, BUT RATHER CALLS US TO ...read more

    Money is a thorny question and many of us think we are less rich than we are. "Money dysmorphia". In Luke 12:13-21 Jesus challenges us on our attitude.

    This sermon was first preached 3rd July 2025 at St Grabriel's Acton. It builds on some of my previous sermons on the topic preached elsewhere especially "Frenchie upsets his dad"; "Baking bigger cakes - wealth creation the Wesley Way" and "Generous Wallet Happy ...read more

    Where Your Treasure Lies

    Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Aug 14, 2025
     | 133 views

    But Jesus, with divine wisdom, sees beyond the surface conflict to the heart issue that threatens both brothers: greed. In response, He tells one of His most sobering parables, a story that cuts through our material obsessions and calls us to examine where we place our trust and hope.

    The scene opens with a dispute over inheritance - a matter as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago. But Jesus, with divine wisdom, sees beyond the surface conflict to the heart issue that threatens both brothers: greed. In response, He tells one of His most sobering parables, a story ...read more

    Some of my favorite cartoons growing up were the Road Runner cartoons. Take a look at this 30-second excerpt from one of them (show Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote—Free Bird Seed). Do you know? In not one of the 49 Road Runner Cartoons produced does Wile E. Coyote ever get the Road Runner. It ...read more

    Freedom From The Burden Of Worry Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 8, 2025
     | 217 views

    Fear and anxiety are things that can have an unhealthy grip on our lives. In this passage, Jesus teaches his followers how we can be free from the burden of worrty.

    In 1988, Bobby McFerrin released a song entitled “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” It was inspired by the teachings of an Indian Guru who used to tell his followers “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” McFerrin’s song was quickly written and recorded. It was released as an Adult Contemporary song where it made it to ...read more

    You Can't Take It With You, But . . . Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Sep 20, 2025
     | 635 views

    How many of us follow the rich fool's lead and build bigger barns by finding new avenues for our investments, as though this life is all that matters? Jesus tells us to beware of all kinds of greed, including being greedy with our own possessions.

    There are some Bible passages which will forever be associated with vivid personal experiences. And today, as we consider the Parable of the Rich Fool, we have encountered one of those passages. My experience with it dates from nearly 40 years ago. In the spring of 1986 I was preparing to ...read more

    Radical generosity frees believers from consumerism, channels resources into God’s mission, and reveals hearts anchored in Christ rather than possessions.

    A Startling Act of Generosity A young couple in the Midwest paid off their modest home years early. Then they sold it—debt-free—and moved into a small apartment. With the sale proceeds they funded wells for villages with no clean water, supported missionaries they had never met, and helped single ...read more

    Grief Turns To Greed

    Sadly grief turns to greed when it is discovered that there is money involved. Money is nice on Earth but is useless in heaven.

    Grief turns to greed Luke 12:13 – 21 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 13 Now someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” 14 But He said to him, “You there—who appointed Me a judge or arbitrator over the two of you?” 15 But He said to ...read more
