    God’s heart for the poor is clearly presented in Luke’s gospel. Jesus continues to hammer home the point of good news to the poor and warnings to the wealthy. What should we take from this?

    (If you rate this sermon, please offer helpful comments. God bless, Greg) If you think of yourself as extremely rich, raise your hand. If you think of yourself as terribly poor and needy raise your hand. What does it look like to be extremely rich today? What about terribly poor and needy? In ...read more
