Sermon Introduction –
In our gospel reading for this Sunday, Jesus tells a tough parable about a rich man who is caught up in his own self-interest. God teaches us to look outside ourselves and love our neighbors! How might you follow this calling?
Introduction to this week’s readings
Consideration of and care for those in need (especially those “at our gate,” visible to us, of whom we are aware) is an essential component of good stewardship. It is in the sharing of wealth that we avoid the snare of wealth. It is the one whom death could not hold—who comes to us risen from the dead—who can free us from the death grip of greed.
