The Subtle Seduction of More
Over the past number of years there have been a number of popular books, shows, and podcasts about organizing and downsizing the possessions in your life. From minimalism to “sparking joy”, lifestyle gurus have provided many helpful ideas and practices to help us live with less. But before all of these modern teachers comes an ancient one: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus lived out what has become called “the practice of simplicity”. This is an intentional practice in life where we shed the trappings of “more” and learn to live with an inner peace and gratitude toward God while learning to be more generous.
Scripture References: Luke 12:13-34
From Series: "The Gospel of Luke"
The life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth continue to be, to this day, some of the most popular, controversial, beloved, hated, and provocative words ever recorded. Whether the story is one you are new to or have heard many times before there is always something more to discover and wrestle with. This sermon series goes through the life and teachings of Jesus as told by Luke in order to discover the rich life and wisdom Jesus offers us today.
