Proper 13
Luke 12.13-21Context
Today we read about the rich man who builds bigger and better barns so that he can store up possessions for the future – and put his feet up.
Common thread – Treasure island (Luke 12.13-21)
Parables don’t always speak into every situation. Our world is financially quite different from that in which Jesus lived, yet this parable offers some eternal truths about our relationship with the future.
An alternative thread for adults, A model for relationships, draws on Colossians 3.1-11.
