Urban Legend: More is Better (Luke 12:15-21)
There is a Urban Legend out there that “More is Better.” It is a lie that has taken root in our culture as being true. The gospel, however, sheds light on this distracting deception and reveals the truth about material possessions.

Distractions...Breaking Through To God
Lucy, the youngest of the four Pavensic children, upon their return to the world of Narnia, tries to convince her siblings that Aslan (God) is there amongst them. The problem is that everybody around her is focused in on the task at hand, defeating the evil Telmarines. After much persistence, Lucy convinces the others of the urgent need to break through to Aslan (God) and seek Him out for help and victory over the enemy. Finally, Lucy makes the great breakthrough (prayer) to Aslan (God), and the events and outcome quickly begin to change as Aslan (God) demonstrates His amazing and mighty power.

Life as Dirt
Over the years, I've had opportunity to share about Jesus with lots of people, and it never ceases to amaze me their varied responses. Some flatly refuse. Others quickly respond, but then wilt away. Still others seem to get side-tracked mid-way along the journey. And another group goes on to accomplish much for the kingdom of God. There are lots of times I am frustrated that not everyone responds to the Gospel message with the same vigor and excitement. I want everyone to bear much fruit. But it doesn't seem to be the way. That's what Jesus is talking about today. I hope you're okay playing the role as "dirt", because that's what you are in this parable! Our receptiveness to the Gospel is represented by four types of soil. The key distinguishing factor of good soil, as we will discover today, is that it produces a harvest. What type of spiritual fruit is being produced in your life? Key Passage: Matthew 13:1-23
