Last Sunday! Continuing our look at the Parables of Jesus in Luke, we come to a very short, very clear one that is hardly ever preached on or studied - maybe because it, well...... hits pretty close to home. Luke 12:13-21. We talked about what people tend to look to for security, comfort, peace, joy..... they "bet" on this even though it never pays off! We are SO like the man in Jesus' story! But Jesus directs us to what DOES "pay off" what CAN supply that hope, security, courage, peace, comfort, joy - and LIFE! A very practical (if difficult) look at what we are DOING (even if we SAY the opposite.
