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.

The Poor Rich Man
This sermon looks at one of the few encounters that men had with Jesus that didn't turn out so well. The Rich Young Ruler had everything in the world, yet knew something was lacking. He ran to Jesus to find out how to "Earn" Eternal life. Jesus told him that he had to die to self and trust Jesus not as teacher or master but as Saviour. In the end, even though the man frealizes he is lost, he refuses to give up the world and put Jesus first. He seals his fate by not believing in the only Begotten Son of God.

On The Other Side of the Gate
It seemed like Jesus had a lot to say about helping the poor. But most of our Christian culture is about living a fulfilled life now. Have we forgotten the fulfillment in helping each other? Could the answer to our issues simply be to stop thinking so much about ourselves?

Box
Remember the thrill of winning at checkers or Parcheesi? You become the Master of the Board—the victor over everyone else. But what happens after that? It all goes back into the box. Being Master of the Board is not the point; being rich toward God is. Winning the game of life on Earth is a temporary victory; loving God and other people with all our hearts is a win that lasts forever.

Retro - The 80's (Suit Yourself)
Greed and materialism were major themes of the 80's. Even though the decade ended, the 80's are alive and well today. God instead wants us to live lives of generosity. - Hank Wilson

James 5:1-9
There is a downward pull to the Gospel- it’s the same downward pull that brought Jesus to a dirty, dusty, barren place like Nazareth, and it’s the same downward pull that should move us into action. God gives us what he gives us for a reason. Don’t feel guilty about having a good job and earning good money. Feel guilty if you fail to use it wisely. Those who truly get the Gospel feel it’s downward pull and find that being like Jesus isn’t just about morality- though that’s part, or ethics, though that’s part. It’s not just about being nice and playing by the rules, or about getting my spiritual needs met. It’s about participating in God’s redemptive plan in the world- living in such a way that we see more and more people in relationship with Jesus and more and more people experiencing the justice and peace in whatever way possible, even limited or temporary that ultimately will come when Jesus Himself returns.

James 2:1-13- "Get Over Yourself"
James calls all of us to deny acts of favoritism, contending that our faith in Jesus is questionable if we do. God calls us to be merciful, as Christ was merciful. The poor are inheriting the kingdom of God, James calls us to recognize this and partner with God in serving alongside them.
